Janet and Herb, I did not see Herb's original post, but this is my Martin line. Here is what I know of Azariah's parents thanks to my father and Larry Martin, a distant cousin still in Illinois. (Larry, please feel free to add and correct.) It's kind of confusing because names were passed on. I hope to have all this up on a web site someday. I am still looking for verification of John (James)' birthplace and ancestry if anyone can help. Cheers, James A.
