This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XNB.2ACI/463.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I've never researched this line, so as yet can't be much help to you. Skimming the recent posts, the name kept niggling at me as familiar, so I finally looked in my records to see who W.H. Martin was, then reread the posts and noticed the apparent marriage discrepancy. As was so common in that era, he was named after someone famous - in this case Wade Hampton, the Confederate officer, SC governor, & Senator. I'm sure there are a number of Wade Hampton Whomevers scattered across the U.S. in the decades following the Civil War. This also brings to mind my aunt's grandfather, Sterling Price Martin, of course named after Confederate general Sterling Price. Am leaving on vacation Monday, but will keep all this in mind and post anything I run across.
