Hello all, I am helping Kay Martin and Vicki Cragen with the Martin DNA Project and have created new webpages. We have had lots of interest in the Project and have solved many Martin connection questions with DNA. While many of our participants haven't sent us their Ancestor Chart and we can't post their results, yet, many have been posted and several are awaiting DNA results. You may view the DNA Project at: http://www.small-stuff.com/MARTIN/DNA/index.htm Click on "DNA Test Results" at the right. Julia French Wood

Does anyone have information about the Martin Family Quarterlies....I am expecially interested in Vol. XI which reportedly contains "Most of the Earliest Martin Family records in Wilkes Co Georgia." Are the quarterlies available on line? Who has copies, etc. John Kulbeth

The quarterlies stopped print many years ago. I have found copies in several libraries as I used to travel alot for business. One of them was the Dallas Public Library had most of the volumes. You might luck in to one or more people in the list that has one or two of them.

I'm looking for anyone who may have information on an Owen Martin b. 1821 prob. in Va. (based on census information). He married Sarah Starnes in Meigs Co., Tn. in 1844. He died 1865 and was buried in Nashville National Cemetery in Davidson Co., Tn. (indicates he was an employee). His family is still in Meigs Co.in 1870. I suspect he is somehow connected to Jesse Martin b. 1777 Henry Co., Va. and his wife, Jane Hunter b. ca 1789 Va. Their children are in the area at the same time as Owen. They also are some of the only other Martins that I've seen with any children named Owen (they had a son named J. Wiley Owen). Owen and Sarah had the following children: Mary Ann b. 1845 John b. 1847 Sarah b. 1850 Amanda b. ca 1853 James b. 1855 Owen b. 1857 Jacob b. 1859 Vilena b. 1866 Any help would be appreciated. Donna

Thought it is time I post my Burgess Line again. BURGESS: My great grandmother was Nancy Melinda Burgess b. 11 Nov 1862 Crocker, Pulaski County, Missouri, died 5 Aug 1939, Quinton, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, m. Edmond Spearman Shelton b. 8 Jan 1859, d. 1 May, 1910, Mounds, Oklahoma. Nancy Melinda Burgess daughter of William Henry Burgess, b. 29 Aug 1841 Gasconade County, Missouri, d. 21 Jan 1918, Miller County, Missouri, m. Sarah Elizabeth Martin. William Henry Burgess' father was Joseph Madison (Matson) Burgess, born 1812, Tennessee, d. 25 Nov. 1854, Gasconade, Missouri, m. Nancy Branson, b. 1812, Tennessee, died in 1863, Crocker, Pulaski County, Missouri. BRANSON Nancy Branson's father was Andrew Daniel Branson, married Phariby Cox. Andrew Daniel Branson's father was Jarred E. Branson, married Sararh Shockley. MARTIN: Sarah Elizabeth Martin's father was Charles D. Martin, married Malinda SHELTON Edmond Spearman Shelton's father was Thomas Sterling Shelton, b. 16 Feb 1822McMinn Co., Tennessee, died 8 Jan 1859, Toscumbia, Miller County, Missouri, m. Elizabeth (Bessie) Canzada Wright b 5 Nov 1827 McMinn County, Tennessee, died 6 Sep 1919, Iberia, Miller County, Missouri. Thomas Sterling Shelton's father was William M. Shelton, married Nancy Spearman. WRIGHT: Elizabeth Canzada Wright's father was William Wright, married Tabitha Martin. Here is some information I got from another Wright/Shelton researcher. I'm sure confused about the half brother Charles D. Martin--were there two Charles D. Martin's? "IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH CANZADA SHELTON: ELIZABETH C. WRIGHT SHELTON DIED AT THE HOME OF HER DAUGHTER, Mrs. John Ferguson, in Iberia, on the 6th day of Sept., 1919. Grandma Shelton was born in McMinn Co., Tennessee on the 15th day of Nov. 1827 where she was married to Thomas S. Shelton. After the birth of their second child they emigrated to Missouri and settled on the Big TavernCreek. Thomas S. Shelton died at the Old McCarty Hotel in Tuscumbia on the 8th day of Jan., 1859. He was on his way to the land office at Warsaw to enter some land which was entered after the war by his son-in-law, John Ferguson. The children born to them were as follows: Elvira Jane Comstock, born in Tenn., now deceased; Dorcas C. Ferguson born in Tenn., with whom she lived for many years and whose home she died,; Marth A. Burgess, born in Mo., now living at Mounds, (kla.; John M. Shelton born in Mo., living in Pulaski County; Josephone A. Shelton, now deceased; William R. Shelton, living in Texas County; Lucy M. Davison, lving at Pilot Point, Texas; Charles T. Shelton, of St. Louis, and Edmond S. Shelton, deceased. Grandma Shelton has one living sister, Louisa Griffen, who was at the funeral. Her brother, William R. Wright and half brother, Charles D. Martin, have long since gone to rest. Grandma has been a mamber of the Christian Church for many years. Before her death she requested that Rev. Miller of the M. E. church, say a few words at her burial, which was done. She was laid to rest in the Madden Cemetery. Rev Miller feelingly spoke of the sincere and faithful christian virtue of the deceased. A large number of people from Iberia attended the funeral. God in his infinite wisdom has called another spirit home. Death in life to those who serve the Lord. Yet, now solemn is death. Rec: From Ralph Duncan 3rd Nov. 1990 Trip to Mo. with R. E. & Jo Shelton, Jay Fisher & Bonnie Snidle???, and Dolores Fisher." I would be interested in exchanging/verifying information with my cousins. Karen Cowan Thomas (I remarried--I was Karen Cromie). Please note my new e-mail address above for those cousins I have not talked to in quite a while. I finally retired and so am able to find time to work on family history.....FINALLY. I look forward to hearing from you. Karen

Karen, My husband, Terry, does not have an Isaac Martin. From the Warren County, Ohio 1850 census, it looks like Rhoda Martin married an Isaac SMITH....Thus, there is no connection. sorry. But that for writing. Juvanne Martin -----Original Message----- From: Karen K <[email protected]> Sent: Jun 22, 2005 4:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MARTIN-L] Issac Martin I wonder if the Issac Martin Jr. mentioned in your post could have removed to Louisiana? I have an Issac Martin who married for the second time to Sarahann Lewis Wilson Hagewood. He was her third husband. I do not know the date of his birth, but his wife was born in 1820. They married late in life, around the time of the civil war. They are listed on the 1870 and 1880 census in Avoyelles Parish, La. Another family of Martins lived nearby them. This was my ggg grandmother and she was married to Issac Martin until she died in 1904. He died about 10 years before her. I think that they both had children from previous marriages. I know that she did. They had one child together that died as a child, named Barbara Gayle Martin, according to our Family Bible. Do you think that this Issac Martin could be related to yours?

Thank You Carolyn, for sending the cemetery info on James Martin.Could you enlighten us just a little more? Do you know when this cemetery in the Havana community was founded, or if it is for African Americans or causcasian, both? I know there was some prominent cotton plantations in and around that area in Hale Co,...Havana and Cuba in that period. Did you find this online, or see it in person? Acording to these dates he was age 73, so he must have lived there.I wonder if this is a marker that has been put on graves in recent years,...marking military.I am very interested because I was missing a James, although these dates do not exactly fit. I had thought mine went to Texas and died there, but you know how that goes. I wonder if any other Martins are in Concord cem.I will try to research further in Hale County. Thanks Stella

This grave is in the Concord Cemetery in the Havana area of Hale County, Alabama. The Havana area is South of Moundville, Alabama, and the cemetery is on Alabama Highway 60. I am posting it here in hopes that someone can use the information. James Martin Pvt SC Troops Revolutionary War 12/10/1761 11/4/1834

I'm ;ooking for parentage/deat/burial info on above named, married to Anthony S. YOUNG in Clarke Co. MS; they had 2 boys-Clifton Bruce b. Jan. 1892 (my grandfather), and William Edward b. Mar. 1893. (Both boys married RAINEY sisters-Sarah (Sadie Ree) and Hallie.) Jennie is no longer the wife of Anthony in the 1900 Jones? Co. MS census. He is listed with new wife, (less tHan a year) Nancy COLLINS. I have photo of Anthony, Jennie, Clifton and William, when boys were approx. 5 & 6 yrs of age. It looks as if Jennie is expecting in picture. She may have died during childbirth. She had a brother in Jones County, MS named Bob Martin. Anyone familiar with this family? ANY info much appreciated!!! Gaylynn Young Cooper [email protected]

Need information on the family of Henry G. MARTIN, born Georgia cl832. He was in Russell Co Alabama, Opelika Dist., in census of l860...wife Elizabeth and daughter, Margretta, born cl859. By l870 this family was in Leon and Freestone Co Texas. Daughter, Nancy L. born Al in l868, married Davis J. Baggett. Son, Henry G. Martin, Jr. born l870. Henry's brother, William Ervin Martin, bl8l8, was in Dale Co Alabama in census of l860...he too was in Freestone Co Texas by l870. This Martin family is believed to have ties to Upson Co Georgia and to the families of Willis and Austin Martin of SC and Ga. Will exchange information. John Kulbeth.

Dear list; I am trying to find the parents of Alexander Constantine Martin, who was born 15 Dec. 1833 in Cincinatti, Ohio. The father was born in Virginia and the mother was born in New Jersey. Recently, I found a Hannah Martin, 44, born in New Jersey living in Warren County, Washington Township, Ohio in the 1850 census. There was no husband. So, either the husband died prior to 1850 or they got a divorce. The census reads as follows: Isaac Smith 28 M Farmer born Ohio Rhoda Smith 22 F born Ohio Hannah Smith 5 F born Ohio Theodore Smith 2 M born Ohio Harriet E. Smith 4/12 F born Ohio Hannah Martin 44 F born New Jersey Constine Martin 16 M laborer born Ohio Charles Martin 13 M born Ohio _____(can't read) Martin 11 M born Ohio Mary Martin 9 F born Ohio By 1860, OUR A.C. Martin was already married and living in Madison County, Iowa. He died in Hesperia, Oceana County, Michigan. If anyone has any clues on the above mentioned people, PLEASE get back to me. Regards, Juvanne Martin Nampa, Idaho

Hi Friend!! I thought of you when I posted...can't ever tell if a new Martin is out there...I have not done much this year, other than read posts. I have not been too healthy. Hospital twice. But hopefully getting some better. I am going after the Jackson I found before that married a Sarah Shaw...and went to Montgomery Co Ms. See Ya...Stella

Hi Stella....read your latest message and glad to see you are hanging in there. I am not having much luck in tracing my John Jackson either. Our given names, most are rather common, are interesting. I noted your reference to a Margaret....the first son of my John Jackson....John Sanford Martin, born in l844 named his first child Margaret or Mary Margaret...born in l867 in Randolph Co Ala. Curious?? John Kulbeth
