My Issac Martin was from Indiana and then La. ( 1820-1870) However, I notice that you have an Elrod in your tree, it looks like one of the children married an Elrod if I understood correctly. All Elrods are related. Their tree is well researched. I am going by memory here-- The first Elrod in the US was Christopher in the 1660s. They were Germans and Moravians back in Moravia or part of Germany. There are diaries writen by several of them, and one of them is mentioned in some type of very early type of congressional record-- it mentions the Elrod testifying that they would not fight but would supply food and beef to soldiers. My mother was an Elrod. Some somehow we are atleast very distantly related. Karen Moore Kerr __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
