Linda, This isn't MY line, but it is the line of my fiancee. I found a lot through Google.com--go to www.google.com -- and then put Martin Genealogy in the search spot. Anyway, compliments of Sue Moore and others,Isaac Martin b. 1812 in Harrison Co. Va, the son of Levi (b ca 1780 Hampshire Co.,Va, d. 8 Aug 1853 in Harrison Co. Va.) m. 9 Mar 1805 in Harrison Co. Va Elizabeth Bennett (b. ca 1785, d. 1866, Harrison Co. WV. (I'm not sure when Va split off WV.) Levi was the son of George Martin,Sr. who is supposed to have come from Ireland in the middle of the 1700's. He was married to an ANN. Could you give me a little more information about James T. to add to my files? My bro-in-law (as of Sept 8th this yr.) gave me a lot of stuff he had accumulated. Among the papers was a note on the: Martin Cemetery: Simpson District Directions: On head of Smith Run of Simpson Creek on Wm. Brown farm. Hutchinson Coal Co. Land. Readings: Taken by Guy Tetrick of Harrison County. Visited site in June of 1989. Bodies have been moved a short distance from original site, on the same land. It is to be fenced in and cared for. Only one stone remaining. Joseph Johnson aged 51 years died August 12 1853 Levi Martin aged 75 yrs. died August 8, 1853 Florinda F. Martin aged 6 years 13 days died July 30, 1851 dau. of J.B. & J. (These initials are to identify the parents, but I'm not sure who they are.) George W. N. Martin aged 13 yrs 3 mo 18dys d. Aug 8, 1851, son of J.B. & J. Janet Martin aged 44 yrs 8 mo 22 dys died Aug 11, 1851 (Bad year for disease, wasn't it!) wife of J.B. (Guess she was the mother of the preceding--poor J.B.) There were a few others. On another sheet however, I have a list of Isaac's children taken from the bible of Isaac Martin, in possession of Mrs. P.M. Long, 369 Washington Ave, Clarksburg, WV. This was written in 1930. They are as follows: Edward A. 1833 Lucy C. 1835 Frederick 1836 Phoebe Ann 1838 Emily J 1839 Mary E. 1841 Abia M. 1843 William Dexter 1845 Montreville 1847 (died small) Jennett Scott 1849 Frances 1851 Sarah Ella 1853 James Thomas b. 5/22/1855 m. 5 Mar 1882 Bettie Umble in Illinopis Benjamin R. 1857 (d. 1886, single.) I guess that's about all I have at the moment. I have to go through Jud's papers in more detail--I think there is something about Florinda in there, but I can't find it at the moment. I guess we're going to be cousins through marriage?
