    3. http://www.tnyesterday.com/ Hello, I wanted to say that my ancestors are listed at the above website. If you go to this website, and in the search box type MARTIN, then when the results come back, go to: Item #51: Freemasons Deaths 1848-1935 W. M. Martin died 9-26-1870 (Lexington, Henderson Co TN) Item# 74: Settlement of Insolvent Estates, 1867-1896 73-76 Thomas S. Lyles, deceased. B. J. Young and Liver P. White, admistraors. 8-21-1873. This is Barzilla J. Young b. 1815 NC, the brother in law of W. M. Martin b. 1826 NC. 235-236 George Martin, deceased. J. R. Wilkins admistrator, 5-30-1885. This George Martin 'might' be related to my ancestor, as my ancestor W. M. Martin did name his first child George Wesley Martin. This George Wesley Martin married Martha Virginia Cunningham at Lexington, TN, I believe she is the grandaughter of Ranson Cunningham of Henderson Co TN, one of the ealiest settlers there. Item #82. Mary M. Martin b. 1825 NC, who was formerly Mary M. Young, was the widow of William M. Martin who died 1870. In this item she is selling some land. Mary M. Martin and some of her children left to settle in Navarro Co TX as of 1878. Children: William B. Martin, Isabella Martin, Druzilla Martin, George Wesley Martin, Joseph A. Martin (my ancestor), Bailey Martin, Mary Caroline Martin, H. E. Martin (female), Ransom/Samson Martin, I believe the Young and Martin families came from Rockingham Co NC prior to settling at Henderson Co TN. There is a James Nathaniel Martin b. 1835 NC, he probably was a nephew to W. M. Martin, this James N. Martin probably fought in the Civil War in Henderson Co TN, probably fought on the Union side, since Henderson voted to stay Union. This James N. Martin also went to Navarro Co TX with the Mary Martin families. I would love to meet anyone who is interested in these Martin names of Henderson Co TN 1853 thru 1878. Best regards, Lilly Martin d/o Joe, s/o Joe, s/o Joe, s/o William M. Martin b. 1826 NC.
