Sue, I'm responding not to your message but to your name. My Waggoner immigrant was Hans Wagner, from Germany, who arrived in Philladelphia (we think) on the Plaisance in 1732. He spent some years in PA before moving to SC. There were several Martins on the Plaisance, some of whom stayed in PA. Hans's first wife seems to have been a Martin, and they had a son named John Martin. Don't know if it's the same family as the one Hans came over with. Do you have any Martin ancestors from PA about this date? Doris Waggoner Seattle ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Sorry, Doris, but my husband's earliest known Martin was a John Martin born about 1845 in Ireland [or at least his parents were born in Ireland]. He also has English Martins who came over in 1600's, but no German ones. I know there were a lot of Martins in VA and WV, but don't know if they were Scottish or German. Good luck, Sue Martin Doris R Waggoner wrote: > > Sue, > > I'm responding not to your message but to your name.
