I am searching for the parents, siblings and any related lines to Samuel Houston MARTIN b. bet 1814/1820. I have no birth record and the census is inconsistent. According to the census he was born in Tennessee and his father was b. in NC and his mother in TN. On Nov 2 1839 in White Co TN, he married Rebecca BRYANT, dau. of James BRYANT and Jane GENTRY, The 1840 census for White Co has a Hastin/Hustin MARTIN with 1 female in the HH. Both are of the right age to be Samuel and Rebecca Bryant MARTIN. Plus they are in the same neighborhood of other family lines. IN 1850 they are in Jackson Co TN. In 1860 they are in Putnam CO TN, where they lived the rest of their lives. Samuel died in 1891 and Rebecca after 1900 but before 1910. I do not know for sure where they are buried. There are no headstones with their names on it.

Johial may have been named Johial Epheriam. All the children were born in TN except Johial. The census says he was born in AR. I do not know what Samue and Rebecca were doing in AR between 1850 and 1860. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Any correction or addional information to this family would be considered to be great news. I do not have documentation for everything but believe Names to be correct. thank you -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
