D. and Lena Boyce, Boyce, Betsy Patterson, 1831-1879, Boyce, Laura C. 1862-1878. Did not see any Pugh listed but several Pattersons if you could be more specific on names (or I can send you all of them if you need them) I'll be happy to take a look.

Could you please tell me if the names John Bethune Martin, John B. Martin, John Martin or J.B. Martin; Nancy Hill Harris Martin, Nancy H. Martin (wife of John Martin); Arthur Martin or Alexander Martin (sons of John and Nancy Martin) appear in any index of any cemetery record book? John Martin and his sons, Arthur and Alexander were living in Holly Springs in 1848. Nancy Harris Martin died about 6 March 1844 or 1846. According to family records, Alexander F. Martin died of Yellow Fever at Mazatlan while on his way to Mexico. I do not know why or when he was going to Mexico or if his body was brought back to Marshall County for burial. Family records also state that his brother, Arthur H. Martin, was killed in action while a Captain in the Confederate Army. I do not know the date or place his death occurred or if his body made it back to Holly Springs. Any help finding the burial location of any of these Martins would be so very greatly appreciated! Thanks. Fredreica [email protected]

Can someone please do a look-up in "Settlers of Shelby County, TN," and adjoining counties (includes Marshall and DeSoto Counties), Bernice Taylor Cargill and Brenda Bethea Connelly, editors, published 1989? I am looking for any information on my ancestor, John Bethune Martin, who removed from Montgomery County, NC. to Holly Springs, Marshall County, MS by 1848. However, later census records for his daughters list their places of birth as TN. One daughter, Mary Bethune Martin, married Robert Dortch and they lived near Bayou Disard in Monroe, Ouachita Parish, LA. Her second husband, James Lamme Meigs was from TN. Her sister, Margaret Harris Martin, married General Jesse Johnson Finley of TN. They later settled in Florida. John Bethune Martin's wife was Nancy Hill Harris, daughter of Arthur Harris and Mary Myrick. I believe some of her Harris family settled around Memphis. Thanks for your help! Fredreica
