I am trying to determine the parents of Elizabeth L. MARTIN (b. 22 Sep 1829,NC ; d. 1911, Guilford Co.NC, buried Buffalo Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Greensboro, NC). Married 29 Dec 1853, Guilford Co.,NC to Nathaniel G. OZMENT (b. 23 Feb 1817, Guilford Co., NC; d. 22 Mar 1883, Guilford Co., NC, buried Buffalo Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Greensboro, NC). The 1850 census, Northern Dist., Guilford Co., NC, lists Nathaniel OZMENT (single) living with parents Howard and Elizabeth (LeCompte) OZMENT on their farm located adjacent to Alexander MARTIN, a well-known citizen in the county at that time and who was later Governor of the State of North Caroline, if I'm not mistaken. Will anyone descended from this Alexander MARTIN and having his family genealogy, please check to see if there is possible connection to my Elizabeth MARTIN. Reply to me by direct e-mail. I will then provide my postal mailing address for further private correspondance. Also, the 1870 and 1880 censuses, Morehead Twnsp.,Guilford Co., NC, list a female ("sister-in-law" of Nathaniel OZMENT, "sister" of his wife Elizabeth) named "Francis" (sic) MARTIN (b.1836-1838, NC) living in same household with Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Martin) OZMENT. Nothing more known about "Francis". The 1900 census, Morehead Twnsp., Guilford County, lists Elizabeth L.OZMENT, "Wid.", living alone (dwelling 200). Listed as place of birth for her and mother and father --North Carolina. If anyone has ANY information about these individuals or families, please contact me at my personal e-mail address. Any help will be appreciated as I am still trying to find this very important connection in my research. Also, does anyone know where I can locate a copy of the book entitled THE FIRST GUILFORD COURTHOUSE AND ADJACENT LAND, authored by Raleigh C. Taylor (January 12, 1953) ? Dwight W.
