It is far from complete as yet, so may have more info before the book is finished. So far: MARTIN, JAMES H., born ca. 1818, NY, may be he who married on 14 Mar. 1844, Washtenaw Co., MI to OLIVE (CALLUM). James H. married on 2 May 1848, Shiawassee Co., to Mrs. JANE ANN (MILLS) BEARD, widow of Henry, and probably daughter of Isaac Mills of Burns Twp.
