My ggggg-grandfather John A Martin received a 282 1/2 acre Land Grant from Gov. Jared Irwin in 1808, located in Baldwin County. Now, I recognize that the land was actually in what is now Jasper County and that the present day Baldwin County is not the same as that County which was later re-named Randolph, and afterward became Jasper...However, I am replying to your Inquiry in hope that you can identify Grandfather John and/or his Parents. He died in 1809 in Bulloch or Bryan County. His wife's name was Elizabeth and I believe she pre-deceased him. He had five known {or identified} children: James; Elijah; Rachel; Mary; & my gggg-grandmother Mercy. Elijah and Rachel may have been twins, since I have seen records indicating the same Birth-year for both, albeit there were no BC back then. They were adherents of the German Baptist Brethren, often called 'Dunkers.' Grandfather John was a Minister. If you can provide any connection, I would appreciate it... >From: e.g.lambert@att.net >Reply-To: martin@rootsweb.com >To: martin@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [MARTIN] MARTIN Digest, Vol 2, Issue 83 >Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 10:11:59 +0000 > >My Martin family was from Baldwin County [Milledgeville], Georgia--James >Thomas Martin who married Mattie Luvenia Vinson. > >-------------- Original message from martin-request@rootsweb.com: >-------------- > > > > > > > > Today's Topics: > > > > 1.
