Hello, Do you know anything about John's son, James? My ancestor, James L. Martin, was in Jasper in the early 1800s, marrying there in 1821, but I have no information on his siblings or parents, except one reference to his father being J. Mather Martin, which has yet to be substantiated. If John A. Martin died in 1809, he would have been old enough to be the father of James L. Martin, who was born ca. 1790, SC, and died ca. 1851/1852, Barbour Co., AL. Any possible connection?
