It sounds as though you are just getting started in Genealogy? Since you are not offering any information except name, birth year, and death year and place of death. I am going to give you a list of things to search on, and tell you where to find these things, in case this will help you or others. #1. The first census year taken when Clark Martin was alive would be 1860, however if he was a 2 year old slave at that time, he would not have had a surname. If his parents, or mother at least, had already been freed, he might be listed. Slaves were not given surnames until after they had been freeded, called "manumission", or until the federal government, end of Civil War (after 1864) freed them as a whole. However, I have seen in census' in New York City, for example, even in the 1790 census, were slaves were listed on the census, with first names, under the owner's name. For example: John Jones Betsey #2. The next census is 1870 and your Clark Martin should be listed, he would be 12 yrs old. He should be with his parents, or mother only, or perhaps he is out with a different family either related, or perhaps he is 'working out' as a live in farm or domestic laborer. I am Not sure if RACE is shown on the 1870 census? If so, that would help to narrow the search down. To access the 1860 and 1870 census you can go to your closest local Public Library, you can call them first by telephone and ask if they happen to offer a computor program online called "HeritageQuestonline", if so, you go to the library and sit down and search the 2 above mentioned census. The other way to access them, is to find your local, nearest Family History Center, which is owned of the LDS church, but is not a religious place, it is open to the public for genealogy research. That place offers, Free of Charge, access to www.ancestry.com which will allow you to search all the census years. The LDS church, thru FHC made a policy across the USA that every FHC should have FREE use of www.ancestry.com . You must go within their working hours and use their computor, but it can be done. Another way to access census is to pay www.ancestry.com a yearly fee to access the data from your home computor, anytime you need it. Obviously this is nice. Another way is to join www.godfrey.org for $35.00 per year, at home, you can access many census years, but not ALL the years. There are also several census years which are FREE and ONLINE, so you can look for those by searching at www.google.com , I have found many 1850 census records that way. #4. the 1880 census is FREE and available to be searched online at www.familysearch.org . Click on: 1. search for ancestors 2. click on census 3. specifiy 1880 US census 4. type in Clark Martin born 1858, give 2 year plus and minus to the age, incase it was off slightly, and put in the RACE, which should narrow it down. If that does not take you directly to HIM, then leave off RACE, perhaps he was not recorded as Black, don't let that throw you off his trail, take everything into possiblitity. Please write back with your results so we can all help you further, we are all helping each other here, that is the real purpose of the mailing list. My ancestors are: William M. Martin b. 1826 NC, went to Henderson Co TN in 1853, died there in 1870, his widow and children left there in 1878 and settled in Navarro Co TX. His son was Joseph Allen Martin b. 1857 TN, who married Nancy Elizabeth Doolen of Navarro Co TX, they went to Sunset, Montague Co, TX and raised a family. Their son was Joe Alfred Martin b. 1899 Sunset, TX and he worked for the Lone Star Gas Co in South Oklahoma, and later in Vernon, Willbarger Co Tx for 43 years. He retired in 1962 and moved to Marlow, Stephens Co OK, he died in 1968 at Marlow and is buried there. His only child was my father, Billy Joe Martin b. 1925, Duncan, Stephens Co OK. My father was raised in California from birth onwards by a step-father, and never met his own father until 1941 at Vernon, TX at the Lone Star Gas Co office, where he was told to go back to California, and not to visit Texas again.
