Karen - fortunately I have a lot to share on this family and can only tell you what I have. And the explqnation of why I have it. Many internet geneologies say that my Capt James Martin who died in Amherst co Va leaving a will in 1778 was the son of the first generation below ABRAHAM MARTIN I checked out this line very very well before I filed it and my James DOES NOT BELONG TO ABRAM but I kept my research anyway. Am conviced that most of the very early Martins in Va. were related and almost all came from the merchant Martins of Bristol England and another branch traded out of Ireland THE LINE YOU WANTED AND WHICH MAY HELP A LOT OF OTHER MARTIN RESEARCHERS Abraham Martin b 1642 Galway Ireland d 1711 York co Val md Rebecca Bell a. john Martin `2 b c 1683 md c 1702 Eliz or letitia Lewis (possibly Clark) b. James Martin 2 b1685 Virginia d 1709 St Peters Parish New Kentco Va. he also md a younger Rebecca Bell and had 3 daughters Bethia,Unity and Anne whose births are recorded in St Peters Parish New Kent. OVIOUSLY NOT MY JAMES MARTIN who was born in 1799 in Va. and since these 3 daughters were born in 1703-1708 IMPOSSIBLE. The moral of this is don't follow internet published geneologies without proving it for yourself. c. William Martin 2 b 1687 Va. d Jan 30 1709 See St Peters Parish New Kent he md Mary--------- d. Samuel Martin 2 b 1689 Va. nothing more known 3. Jean Martin 2 b c 1691 Va. md c 1715 Mathew Moore ------------------------------------this complete the second generation
