Dear WhitePaul, I don't know who your Margaret Martin was, but I would sure like to ride on the coattails of your query. Also in the 1820 census of Hall Co GA (ref Hall Co GA 1820 census pg 147) was: John Martin 26-45 one male <10 one female 16-26 one female <10 Who was this John Martin and family? Could he have been another son of your Margaret Martin? Could he have been the John Martin who was found in Jefferson Co FL in 1830 and 1840 with the same aged wife and children, as well as dying in Madison Co FL in 1850 at age 62, and noted as having been born in SC? What have you learned since you posted?
