My husband has a gggrandfather James MARTIN Jr. He was born in KY abt 1820 and moved with his family to Ind where he married Sarah Jane Trader 4-6-1846 Parke co Ind . Next he and his wife and children were found living with his parents in the 1850 Livingston co MO census . Both of his parents died in 1857 and since then have lost all contact of James jr, except for the fact that his wife Sarah Jane remarried a David STARR in 1883 Vigo co IND. Am trying to find James and his family in the 1860 and 1870 census , problem it that could be anywhere. Especially trying to find out when and where he died. Has anyone come across this long lost relative? Any Help and Suggestions at this point would be gratefully received. look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Lara Cummings Martin

Many Martin's come up as hits for this site. It is possible an ancestor has unclaimed money in his estate. because there are so many hits for the surname Martin, you have to use first and last name. http://www2.state.oh.us/com/unfd/thqry1.htm Ohio Department of Commerce, Unclaimed Funds Division

Hello, I've just received a wonderful new book entitled, The Tribes of Galway" by Adrian J. Martyn. People can obtain the book through Mr. Martyn at 37 Cresent View, Riverside, Galway City, Republic of Ireland and he can be contacted through his e-mail address listed below. I've included a summary of the book for your review along with information on the author: "Na Tuatha Gallimhe/The Tribes of Galway" by Adrian J. Martyn is the first book to deal in-depth with the fourteen merchant families that made the town of Galway famous. Though many books and articles deal with the history of the town and county, this is the first book by a member of one of the Tribes which explains the origins, history and descent of these families. They were as follows: Athy, Blake, Bodkin, Browne, Darcy, Deane, Font, French, Joyce, Kirwin, Lynch, Martin, Morris, and Skerrett. These families, who settled in the town between 1261 and 1539, made their fortunes by trading goods from Ireland to England, Spain, France, Portugal and the West Indies. In latter years, they became soliders, landlords and rebels, but such of them as are left in Galway are now somewhat vauge as to their history. Famous members of the Tribes covered include John Deane, who discovered the identity of one of the executioners of King Charles I; Mayor Andrew Morris, who was forced to execute seventy survivors of the Spanish Armada in 1589. John Blake Fitz Henry, who almost totally wiped out the Athy Tribe in 1440; Germyn Lynch, entrepreneur extraordinary, who worked as a merchant in Iceland, a goldsmith in London and a Keeper of the Irish Mints (from which post he was fired three times); the pro-Nazi William Joyce, AKA Lord Haw-Haw; Margaret Athy, who founded a monastry in Galway while her husband was in Spain; Captain Richard "Nimble Dick" Martin who through all sorts of legal trickery ended up owning most of Connamara; Geffrey French, who arrived penniless in Spain but died as a Knight of St. James; Geoffrey Browne, who tried to sell the town to the Duke of Lorraine; Captain James Blake, who was a triple-agent for the Irish, English and Old English in the 1590's; Rev. F.X. Martin, who faced imprisionment and a bill of almost a quarter of a million for holding up a construction site in Dublin for archaeoligists to survey. Mr. Martyn provides a four-page overview of the history of the Tribes and the town, before tackling the different families. The book also contains a four-page chronology of the history of Galway town from 1124 to 2001, and an appendix dealing with eighty of the Non-Tribal families that settled there from the 1200's to the mid-1600's. The latter group contains such families as Begge, Bermingham, Branegan, Carey, DeLapp, Fallon, Kenny, Lang/Long, Leonard, Merrick, Nolan, O'Halloran,Quin, Sepishend, Tierney, and Webbe. Adrian J. Martyn was born in Galway in 1975, and is a professional genealogist and writer. Among his future projects is an expanded book on the Tribes, plus a book on over five hundred surnames of Co. Galway which he hopes to publish next year. He has been working on a book on the history of his own family since 1996, and hopes to have it finished within a few years. He can be contacted at martyn@netaccess.ie, or 37 Cresent View, Riverside, Galway City, Republic of Ireland. The book costs $20.00 per copy (including post and package) and is available from the author."

Rita, Thank you for that idea. I knew that the Coffmans could have been Mennonites but didn't look for the Martin any place except Missouri where I had proof they once were and in Tennessee where all the following generations of the Martins went and still are. I will check out that lead.
