Hi I am new to this list. I am looking for parents and siblings of Samuel Houston MARTIN b. abt. 1814 in TN. According to the 1880 census his father was from NC and his mother from TN. He was marr. on Nov 2 1839 to Rebecca Bryant in White Co TN. Rebecca is the dau of James BRYANT and Jane GENTRY. He (I think) was Hustin MARTIN in the 1840 census of White Co TN. It was the correct age for he and Rebecca and no children listed. Their first child was Amanda b. in 1841. In 1850, they were listed in the Jackson Co TN census. In 1850 they were listed in the Putnam Co TN census. Samuel d. in 1891 in Putnam Co and Rebecca d. bet. 1900 & 1910 in Putnam Co. Rebecca and Samuel's ages changed with every census. They were born somewhere between 1812 and 1824. I think they were both born 1814. Their children were James Washington, John Vance, Jesse Lafayette, Johial/Jahial, Amanda C, Martha A, Mary Sophronia, Rebecca, Millie Frances, Manner/Minerva Jane. I would appreciate any help anyone has to offer. Thank you Peggy -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
