I have a Jacob Martin b. 1846 as son of James Lacy Martin b. 11 May 1818 d. 2 June 1906; married abt 1841 in Sevier Tenn to Mary Evans. Children of James Lacy Martin and Mary Evans were Mary M. b. 10 July 1843, Jacob b. 1846, Martha b. 1848, Soophia Olive b. 1851, and James Richard b. 1853. I hope this will help someone. I have no further info on Jacob Martin but I do have information of other Martins in his line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy McCarns" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 1:35 PM Subject: Re: [MARTIN-L] Descendants of Jacob Martin of Wilson & Carroll Co., TN > My ancestor, as far as I can figure out, is Ralph Martin who married > Elizabeth C.
