Richard Martin married Francis (Franky) Turner, 1883 in Caswell Co., died ca 1887 in Wayne Co. Who was the mother of his older children; when and where did he marry her? In VA.? One of the older children was Elizabeth "Bettie" who married Nicholas Powell. Nocholas' brother Starling was named guardian of Richard, Jr., ca 1791/92. Was there a connection between the Martin and Powell families? I'll appreciate any help I can get with identifying Richard's first wife. Respond to me at <almb@sw.rr.com>. MBM
