Everyone on the list has been extremely helpful this month in educating me on exactly who and what the Germanna maillist encompasses. Now that I understand, I want some Germanna ancestors. I think my best hope is the Martin family. I am specifically interested in finding if there is a researcher on the list who researches the Martin family In Virginia during the 1700's--that is the Martin family who were associated with the Germanna Colonies. I am interested in websites, books, and ideas to get me started. I will be volunteering at my local LDS FHL from 10-2 on Saturday, so if we are not very busy, I should have time to browse for my own research. I have a Nancy Martin in southwestern Virginia (Christiansburg/Roanoke area). Her son described her to his children and grandchildren as a short, feisty, plump, buxom, dutch-Irish woman. I am hopefully interpreting the Dutch=Deutsch. I believe her father to have been John Martin born 1799 in Bedford County, Virginia. His wife was probably Catherine Williams also of Bedford County. In the first half of the 1800's I find this family to have been prosperous--owning enough land that they were able to share with Nancy's husband and their children. Nancy's brothers seemed to have been prosperous as well. John and his family probably moved to southwestern VA around 1838. Is Bedford County a likely place for Germanna settlers to have moved to in the second half of the 1700's? Does anyone know if there were Martins who did so? I am just hoping to get a little head start on this new idea that I am kicking around. Thanks ahead of time for any help. marsha in WV

I would like to connect with anyone who has a Moses Edward CREWS married to a Catherine MARTIN - possibly in MO before 1886 in their database. The only child of this marriage that I know of, and there are most likely more, is Laura Francis CREWS b. 1886 in MO. My records have Moses Edward CREWS birth abt 1858 and his death abt 1933 and Catherine MARTIN birth abt 1860 and death abt 1944. Any help or impute is most appreciated. Kathleen

David, this is the notations that I have on this Shadrack Martin in my files. Nelda Martin Kyzar The first known ancestor of this Martin family is Shadrack [Shadrach]. His birth date and location [about 1735, either in Virginia or Great Britain have not been documented. Shadrach Martin lived in St. Peter's Parish and attended St. Peter's Church (built in 1701) in New Kent Virginia. He moved with the family from Virginia to Laurens County, S.C., prior to the Revolutionary War.

Do either of you have any notations regarding Shadrack/Chadrick Martin 'thought to have been born" same time frame as James in Ireland, perhaps? His wife was named Jane, surname unknown to me. They ended up in Little River Settlement in lower SC. DSPW@webtv.net

My husband's grandmother was Pearlie May Martin who married Dennis Harrison Sigmon. They died in the late 1940's in a car accident. Any connection? I believe Pearlie's brother married a Sigmon also.

Lottie Sorry, but I don't have a place in Alberta. But, Gloria's father Charles was born in Selby, Ontario, Canada. Judy

Hi Edith, It does sometimes feel like looking for a needle in a haystack doesn't it ! All my Martin's lived in and around Donnington Wood, Shropshire, England - so I think we can safely rule out any connection. I know how frustrating it can be when you have no way of verifying information. I think sometimes you have to rely on good old fashioned intuition ! I don't blame your relatives heading for Tennessee. I spent a very enjoyable two weeks touring Georgia, Tennessee , Mississippi and Alabama - I think it was the best holiday that I have ever had. My favourite place was, I think, Atlanta - I just loved it there. I intend to go back next summer after I finish my law degree - as a treat after 5 years hard work !!!! I left it a little late to begin my studies and consequently have been studying part-time whilst also working full time. I must be mad ! Happy hunting and let me know how you get on.

Heather, I have nothing on my William as to dates of birth or death. However I show one of his son's was born in 1887 in Palmer, Missouri.(Washington Co.)

Hi Edith, I have two William's in my family tree - my GGG Grandfather was married to a Jemima Lees and my GGGG Grandfather married a Rebecca Millington. However William and Jemima had a son, also christened William who was christened in Donnington Wood on the 14th October 1857 - I have no other information that that at present.
