Hi Julia! You are right; it does seem to be quite a coincidence. The father of my George is given as Henry J. Martin, born 8-18-1799 in TN. Henry was married to Sarah Bush. Henry's father is Jonas Martin, born 1-9-1775, in Lanesboro, MA. Jonas is the son of Reuben Martin, born in Woodbury, CT in 1746. As an interesting side item, Lanesboro, MA was founded by Jonas' grandfather, Samuel, twice. He was driven out after the first founding in 1755 by Indian skirmishes and went back in 1759. He donated 1 1/2 acres of land for their first church. Several years later, he was kicked out of the church for drinking and cussing!

Russ, would you, please, give tell me the father of your George W. Martin? I have a William C. Martin b. 1825 in Wilson Co., TN who married Lockie Josephine Donnell who was b. 1835, TN. That is a very unusual name and it is quite a coincidence that you have one with the same name, only reversed. This William C. Martin is supposedly the son of Jacob Martin b. 1786, SC and his wife, Mary Wallace. Jacob had a brother, George W. Martin, also born in SC, but moved to Wilson Co., TN.

Do you think that my George W. is the same as your George Westley Martin? If so, we share a common ancestor in Reuben Martin who was born in Woodbury, CT in 1746 (my ggggfather) and I have the family line back to Lt. Samuel Martin of Devonshire, England. abt. 1610.

Thanks Julia, I really think my Jackson Martin may be the one that married a Wooley in Al and went to Montgomery Co Ms.He died there. But I am certainly open to the search!! Stella

could this family have migrated to carroll county, ga. and then on to randolph county, al., as there is a researcher also researching this family. email is [email protected] his has several postings on rootsweb. we tried to connect my martins in carroll co. to his in randolph co, but cannot at this time. he does refer to a jackson martin though with family from north georgia. hope this helps. happy gene pooling. gloria cates morgan

Trying to find a current email address for Martin researcher, Janice, whose email used to be [email protected] Below is a message I sent in January that I don't think found its way to her. Is anyone else researching Martins in Chester County, South Carolina? Would like to hear from you. Bill Derrow Washington, DC ********************** Hi, Janice, I don't know if we've corresponded before, but I see (in various message boards) that you are researching some of the same families as I am and am wondering if you've come across anything new related to the parents of James L. Martin. You, as I (and my two elderly aunts who've been working at this for 50 years) do, have a reference to James L. Martin's father's name being J. Mather Martin. I noticed a message from you asking about him. Did you ever receive a reply? Just today I saw a reference to a female Mather Martin in the 1880 census of Chester County, South Carolina. As South Carolina was the supposed birthplace of James L. Martin (per the 1850 census), I'm wondering if it would be worth exploring Chester County for earlier Martins. It seems like every path I've taken to get around this brick wall as led nowhere, but I keep trying! <>Bill Derrow

Stella & Ally, have you looked at all the court records for Jackson Martin? I have found great clues in Deeds, Wills, Guardian papers and other court papers. The LDS has almost all of them on microfilm. Julia In a message dated 5/14/2005 9:24:04 A.M.

I have a William H. Martin born 1826 (Could this be one of those census taker mistakes?) who mentions a Bailey in one of his letters. His daughter Melissa is later found with a George W. Martin living with her. I have lots of Lydia's in my family. I would suspect a connection somewhere. Do you know the name of William's children, wife and marriage date, or his parent's names? Thanks Maggie

Jackson Martin died before 1870 census as his wife is listed as a widow: Question should have been where is he buried? Sorry for the oversight. Ally In a message dated 5/13/2005 5:46:36 P.M.

Hi Martins My great grandfather was Charles Martin from St Louis. Mo. His Father I believe was Chris Martin Charles Martin was born Nov. 19, 1842 in Saxony, Germany He married Mary Lingner in 1876 in St. Louis, Mo. Would anyone have any ancestors that could possibly be related to Charles and Chris? Thanks, Marge

Hi Listers, I have been searching for information on my great great-grandfather's parents. He was born 6 Jan. 1809 in Onondaga Co. NY and died 3 Nov.1865 in Saginaw,MI..He is buried in Laporte Ceme. Midland Co. Mi. but there is no further info on him. He married Elizabeth Stanton, d/o William and Sophia (Palmer) Stanton born 1 Jan.1809 in Pownal, VT. There was a Census research indicates he may have been the son of John Martin of Camillus, later Spafford. John and Elizabeth Martin had 5 children. John Ephraim, 1930. Majesta 1831, Sophina 1833, Elizabeth 1840, and Wealthy 1842. If any of these names are familiar I would dearly love to hear from you, I have a huge file on this family except the gt. greatgrandparents. Kind Regards, Ina Metras

Hi Lilly, I told this group last month or so that my Martins came from Bodmin, Cornwall, England not from Texas except my cousin, John Hunsicker, is a pastor in Texas along with his family and his mother, but not born there. Have not been able to get further than my gggrandfather William Martin b.1816 in Bodmin. He had twins Samuel Martin and James Martin (this is my ggrandfather) and Albert Martin. The twin Samuel died young, James married and moved to Philadelphia PA where both my Mother and my Uncle Philip were born. After they married Mother and my Dad moved to Montg. Co., PA, where two of us children were born. My older Sister Donnabwas born in Phila.while Dad was in the Navy during WWII. My brother Woody is the only one still living in Pa. I sent the Texas tombstones so any of you might benefit from that information. Susan Hunsicker
