Cindy, I think you meant this for Twila, but I also have Martin's as follows: Johannes (John) MARTIN b. about 1730, unknown where. He purchased land in Fayette Co, PA in 1785. His wife was Anna Margareth -----? Children: Anna Elizabetha b. abt 1754, married Ludwig SCHICK, John Jr. b abt 1757 m. Appolonia BUCHER, Anna Barbara b. abt 1760 m. George BUCHER Sr, Anna Catharina b. abt 1764 m. Bernard NOGLE and Christiana b. abt 1767 m. Caspar YOUNG. Children are all listed as heirs of Johannes in a deed in Fayette Co, PA in 1838. I don't know where Johannes lived before buying the land in PA. but thought he might have been in VA. I have a YOUNG family, not connected to Caspar (that I know of), who were in Berkeley Co, VA. They were also Germans originally named JUNG. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely Carol Wilson At 08:49 AM 9/22/97 -0400, you wrote: >What area of Virginia are your Martins from?
