Good morning list, In researching my Martin line from Wayne and Pulaski Counties, Kentucky, I have my line traced back to John Martin Sr. with the help of other researchers Information that I have been given by other researchers is that his full name was John William Martin. His father is supposed to be Samuel Martin and his grandparents may be Benjamin Martin Sr. and Elizabeth Lindsey. I have my own line as Lola Mae Martin (grandmother, b 1902 Pulaski Co., Ky), Hiram K. Martin (b 1870 Pulaski), William Perry Martin (b 1842 Wayne Co., Ky), William (b 1817 Tenn?), John Shelby Martin (b 1780-1785 Virginia), John William Martin (b 1755-1760 Franklin Co., Va). Some of this informatin is in the book "A UNIQUE FAMILY" written by W. P. Martin of Eubank, Ky. This W. P. (William Perry) Martin (b 1858) is the nephew of my William Perry Martin. I do not have a copy of the book (darn it). The information that I was given is that John William Martin's wifes' name was Susannah Mary Meador, and they were married on 8 December 1782 in Franklin County, Virginia. John William and Susannah Martin and their children end up in Wayne County, Kentucky. John died prior to 1840, Susannah died prior to 1830. I have their children listed as Tobias, Benjamin, James, Samuel, John Shelby, and Jeb/Job. 1810 Wayne County, Kentucky Tobias Martin - three males under age 10, one male age 26-45, one female under age 10, one female age 26-45 Benjamin Martin - one male age 16-26, one male age 26-45, one female under age 10, one female age 10-16, one female age 26-45 James Martin - two males under age 10, one male age 26-45, two females under age 10, one female age 26-45 Samuel Martin - one male under age 10, one male age 26-45, one female age 16-26 John Martin - one male under age 10, one male age 16-26, one female age 16-26, one female age 45 and up 1820 Monticello, Wayne County, Kentucky John Martin Sr. - one male age 45 and up, one female age 45 and up Benjamin Martin - one male under age 10, one male age 45 and up, one female age 26-45 Capt.
