I'm | new to genealogy, but find it fascinating. Here goes my line as I know | it: | | Linda Ann Starnes (TN, 1947) and Buford William Cyphers, Jr. (VA, 1941) | | Dorothy Ann Isley (TN, 1927) and David Douglas Starnes (TN, 1928) | Maude Elizabeth Martin (TN, 1890) and William Decatur Isley (TN, 1884) | Henry K. Martin (TN, 1850) and Sarah Malinda Ladd (TN, 1873) | William Martin (TN, 1820) and Sarah A. Martin (TN, 1824) | | William's mother ?? or Sarah's ?? was the daughter of Henry Ketron (VA?, | 1775) and Susanah Sluss (VA?, 1779). | | I have pages from a family Bible showing these Martin/ Ketron | relatives. It was really neat to see these pages dating back to 1775. | I found the 2 pages among my grandmother's papers. | | Perhaps this will interest someone researching the TN Martin line | Linda Cyphers | Yorktown, VA
