Hi all, My gr-gr-gr-grandparents are said to be Abraham Martin b. abt 1814 in GA, married Elizabeth about 1835. Their children were George (b. 1836), Mary Virginia (b. 1834), Frances (b. 1844), William (b. 1846), and Margaret (b. 1849). Mary Virginia Martin (25 Jul 1834-6 Oct 1932) first married Mench/Minch Gray and had Pickens "Pick" b. 1854 (m. Ella Williams or Ella Bennett and had 16 children), Susan "Susie" H. Gray b. 1855, and James "Jim" Mench Gray b. 1858 (m. Annie L. White 6 Aug 1882 presumably in Cairo, Grady, GA and had either 9 or 10 children - but only six lived into adulthood). After Mench Gray did not return from the Civil War, Mary remarried to James Hezekiah Griffin (who had one other child by a previous marriage). Together they had Robert "Bob", Thomas Leroy "Tom" (m. Avieann Molena "Lena" Leavins and had 9 children), Walter Wilton, Lloyd, Mary Virginia "Setie", Eugenia "Sissie" (m. Taylor) and Elizabeth Sennia "Semmie" (Barber). I descend from James Mench Gray who we believe married in Cairo, Grady, GA and then moved to Pensacola, FL in 1903 where he died in 1914 after working as a well driller and starting a company that his sons took over after his death. If anyone connects with these Martins (and shirt-tails) please email! Sue Cancio
