No, I was not the one who wrote about any viruses till today. Please, let's be kind to each other. Many people are shy and easily discouraged from participating in the Digests. I learned a lesson about being diplomatic the hard way. I lost a valued relative and fount of information. They had written on a Digest about a bogus virus. Before I realized who had written the message, I wrote back and said that I was sick to death of people who ran around yelling, "the sky is falling" without looking out the window, i.e. checking the hoax encyclopedia, etc. They wrote back and said they would never again warn anyone about a virus no matter if we all had our CP's ruined. The person has never again posted a message to that Digest or any other that I have found; and has never answered any of my apologies. Can you blame them? Here is to a kind and gentle Digest and friendly Holiday Season to all. Thomas W. Horton Glen Mills, PA Twwoodwork@aol.com

Virus: I have recently received two viruses purporting to be from someone in the Martin Digest and Tinsley Digest. Both had attachments. One even referred to an ancestor of mine that I had been trying to trace. The other referred to "Software Warranty". When I opened these attachments my anti-virus program kicked in and I was able to take care of them without harm to my CP. I know it was not from anyone in the Digest as I wrote back to the "so called" person who sent the email only to have it returned as not deliverable. However, they appear to be using a list of the people who are receiving the Digests or have infected someone in the Digests. You may want to run your anti-virus program after updating it. If you do not have an anti-virus program, please get one. If you don't know where or how or lack funds, write to me off-line and I will help. I sent the address of the sender on to Mary Landsman, a professional virus expert. Hopefully, she will track this down and I will let anyone know if there is anything to be known. Sincerely, Tom Thomas W. Horton Glen Mills, PA

I live in Florida also and have just written my tenth (and last) book SOUTHERN MARTINS AND UNDERWOODS (with related families & royal links). I don't recognize your Martins but mine are back much farther for the Underwoods and Martins were early settlers of Virginia. Mine came from SW Virginia but moved to NC, WV, and points beyond.

http://searches1.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/mo/greene/bios/etaylor.txt Early Settlers and Settlements, Taylor Township, Greene County, Missouri >From "History of Greene County, Missouri," St. Louis: Western Historical Company, 1883. ********************************************************************** The very first settler in Taylor township was one Davis, mentioned in the first chapter of this work, who came, it is said, in 1822 or soon afterward, and located on the farm now (1883) owned by Col. John H. Price, in section 13-29-20. Mr. Davis was afterward killed by the Indians. Edward Thompson occupied the farm after Davis, and then came Samuel G. Martin, who held it until 1836, when Crabtree Price came into possession and lived thereon until his death. Rev. Mr. Mooney, a Baptist minister, came upon the Julian Foster place, on the James, about the year 1827 or 1828, and in the latter year rented his farm from the Delawares. John B. and Edward Mooney were living here in 1830. Nicholas Darnold lived on this farm at the time of his death, in 1837. Other early settlers were Samuel Martin, presiding justice of the first county court and his brother, Cowden Martin, both from North Carolina, who came in 1829, to section 24; old Jerry Pearson, who settled a little below the Powell spring, on Pearson creek, in section 5; and Nicholas Darnold and Benjamin Harper. On the south side of James river, Edward Thompson, a Tennesseean, settled in 1830, and four years afterward removed to the Kickapoo prairie. Andrew and Richard C. Martin, sons of Samuel Martin, lived on the James at an early date, the first in section 23, and the latter in 27. John L. McCraw came to the county in 1836, and settled the place where he died. The Galbraith place in section 31, was, sometime previous to 1836, occupied by the family of a French woman by the name of Mrs. Page. Rev. Thomas Potter, a preacher of the Christian church, was an early settler. James Martin, in 1836, settled the farm of Thomas W. Sawyers in section 36. Mr. Sawyers, one of the old and respected citizens of the township, came to the county in 1840. In the fall of 1837, William Dillard came from Monroe County, Tennessee, and settled on section 17 on the place first settled two years before by Braxton Sams. Mr. Dillard died April 12, 1877, aged nearly 95. He was a native of Buncombe county, North Carolina. Immediately preceding his death, Mr. Dillard was the oldest citizen of Greene County. It is believed the first white male child born in Taylor township was Wm. Thompson, a son of Edward Thompson. The first white child of either sex was a daughter of Cowden Martin. Wm. Thompson was born in 1830; Miss Martin, a year earlier, in 1829. The first death was that of Thomas Martin, on the James, in 1831. The body was buried on the home place. Cowden Martin died of cholera, contracted in Springfield, in 1835. The first marriage remembered was that of William Darnold and Sallie Thompson, in 1833. The groom was a son of Nicholas Darnold, and the bride a daughter of Edward Thompson. Another early wedding was that of John Cardwell and Faith Darnold, at the residence of the bride's father, Nicholas Darnold, in the spring of 1837. Judge Samuel Martin performed the ceremony in the latter instance. It is claimed that the first regular physician in the township was Dr. Wm. C. Cald- well, of Virginia, now living at Fair Grove. The first minister was Rev. Mr. Mooney, the Baptist preacher before mentioned, who held the first services at private houses. Soon after came Rev. Thos. Potter, of the Christian denomination. The first school was taught in 1836, in an old log house on the Danforth farm, but the name of the first teacher has been forgotten. The first settlements in this township were made along the James fork of the White river, now called simply the James river, but as well known by its oft-mispronounced title, "the Jeems." Old settlers say that the James river was remarkably high in 1830 or 1831; higher by four or six feet than it has ever been since. The highest water since the country has been settled up was in June, 1855. Fish were formerly very abundant in the stream, but have become scarce by reason of the dams thrown across. In the month of March, 1849, Wm. Ireson, a school teacher, aged about 35, was drowned in the James, at the Neaves ford, in trying to cross the stream on horseback. The water was high, and Mr. Ireson neglected to take off the martingals, and so the horse could not swim. The man's body was recovered the next day, about 100 yards below the ford, and buried by Finley Danforth, at the Danforth church. In April, 1856, a young lady, the daughter of John Breedlove, was drowned in the James, near the Baughman ford. Miss Breedlove and a younger companion were crossing the stream on a foot log. The latter fell into the water and pulled Miss Breedlove after her. Singularly enough, the younger girl was washed ashore and saved, while Miss Breedlove was drowned. The alarm was given and her body was recovered and brought ashore while still warm, but life was extinct, and all efforts at resusciation failed. Miss Breedlove was about 18 years of age. Another case of drowning occurred near the lower Neaves ford, the victim being a stone-cutter named Forrester. It was supposed that the unfortunate man was also trying to cross on a foot-log, as he had made inquiries for such a crossing. His dead body was found floating in the stream several days afterwards. The gret cyclone of April 18, 1880, which is described in full in the general history of this volume, was especially sever in Taylor township. The house of John L. McCraw, Sr., was unroofed, the kitchen blown away, and much valuable timber prostrated. The house of John L. McCraw, Jr., was entirely destroyed, some of the debris being blown entirely away. The out buildings were destroyed and one cow, three head of sheep, and some hogs killed, while all the horses were more or less crippled. The damage amounted to between $700 and $800. The cyclone struck the farm of T. J. Henslee, sweeping fences, houses, barns, and everything before it. Mr. Henslee was swept out of his house and dashed against a post twenty feet distant, sustaining severe injuries. His leg was fractured in two places, and his right arm bad- ly sprained. From these injuries, Mr. Henslee has not yet wholly recovered. Mrs. Henslee's shoulder blade was broken, and James Baker, a farm hand, was injured in the back and had three ribs broken. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.

I'm seeking connections with :- BELL MARTIN who married <1791 Niel MacKinnon, probably in Strath par., Isle of Skye. Donald A. Robertson, Kyleakin, Isle of Skye

Pacheeti, Do you have a list of the children's names of Isaac and Mary Martin? I am still trying to find my William Martin that was born in Illinois around 1868 . He was found in the MO. 1920 census married and 7 children. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Jonnie Justpeachy521@aol.com

I'm looking for the where abouts of Sarah Brannan, she was born abt 1850 in Stephenson Co, ILL. She was in the 1860 Census of Stephenson Co as age 7. Her parents, Thomas J. Brannan and Electa are then in the 1875 Ridgeway, Osage Kansas census without Sarah. I have some legal papers on transfering land in Osage Co, KS and it states she was insane in 1897. But did list her name as Sarah Martin. Did not list a husbands name. Does anyone out there have have a Sarah Brannan that married a ? Martin. I know this is a long shot, but Osage Co, Ks does not have her listed anywhere, so don't know where she went. Any help would sure be apprecaited.... Many thanks Donna

Also, Susannah's son, George, died in 1734 and William was still living in 1733. Rosemary

I am not familiar with the book you mention, but, according to sources I have read, she had at least two sons surviving her execution. John died in 1693 and Richard died in 1729. Rosemary in ME

Thank you, Faith, for the information you posted from a book about Susannah Martin which suggested that she had no male heirs still living at the time of her execution in 1692. This seems to imply that there would be no Martins directly descended from her (unless one of her daughters married a Martin). Could anyone on the list expand on this? Bill Rexroad Hutchinson, Kansas (a Martin descendant)

OK, I screwed up on Susannah Martin - just did not think about it at the time, but she was almost 70 when she died. Plenty of room in there for both George and Richard to have grown up - married and then died before their mother. Sorry for not being clear. Faith

I am looking for any info on the John E. Martin family. He married Fanny Nance, she came from a wealth Virginia family and when she chose to marry into the poor Martin family they disowned her. They had 5 children Rufus, James, Henry, Ella and Rosa. After the death of Fanny John married Mary Etta Dillon and had 5 children. Edgar, Dolphus, David, Charley and Lloyd. I am the granddaughter of Edgar Martin. We would like to find out who John E. Martin's parents are and where he came from. I know he was an artist and a farmer. Jo Bird

My maternal grandmother was a Martin from Virginia and some of her family moved to WV. Some of your names sound familiar but not in the same family. What part of WV were yours residing?
