My husband descends from John Martin who was born in Bedford County, Va circa 1799. He married Catherine Williams 30 Jan 1817 in Bedford County. Here is what my data base says about this couple: > James Williams is listed as surety on the marriage bonds according to > Hinshaw’s Volume VI . Baley Martin and Elizabeth Williams have > marriage bonds 1824, 9, 1. John Martin is surety and consent is given > by James Williams .

My data base gives as siblings for John Martin: > The parents of John R Martin are unknown. However, their children are > identified as family members via marriage and other > records. The children were: > Stith (1790 VA-) m Susanna Hackworth > Leander > Betsy m Valentine Barton > John R (1799 VA-) m Catherine Williams > Bailey (1804 Bedford Co VA-) m Elizabeth Williams > Lunez (1808 VA-) m Lawson Blankenship Do you have any reason to believe that your Moses Martin was related to this family?
