Thanks William for the reply. There were several Jackson Martins in al. One was Benjamin G. Martins son Jackson Martin in Montgomery co. There was one in Barbour co., Pike co., Coosa co. and Geneva co. and probably more. If you ever run across a Sylvester Martin in Ga. and N. C. let me know please. I know where he was at in al. after 1847. Gosh thats a long time ago. Thanks Barbara
