I have other data that I'll be glad to share. My primary goal is to learn the parents and sibilings of this John Martin and of this Susanna Ourie/Urey. Any help you can provide will be most welcome. John MARTIN was born ca. 1774 in "Little York" Co., PA; d. ca. 1848, possibly in or near Fallsbury Twp., Licking Co., OH. He was born "...of Irish parents who immigrated in an early day", perhaps about 1740-1770. That characterization in quotes from "Valley of the Upper Maumee" River", is largely correct. They probably were Scots-Irish [Martin family oral tradition] who originated in Scotland and then immigrated to Northern Ireland, then to SE Pennsylvania. John married Susa[nna] OURIE/ UREY/ ULREY/ URY/ ORY ca. 1797. Her family most likely lived in PA, probably in or near York or Lancaster Co. Susanna was born ca. 1776, died ca. 1818, in PA or in Belmont Co., OH. John married Margaret Messencope, daughter of Christopher and Magaretha Messencope on 11 Feb 1819 at Belmont Co., OH. John Martin was recorded in the census in 1820 at York Twp., Belmont Co, OH. He was shown on the Tax Roll in 1825 at Guernsey Co., OH. He was named in a land contract on 30 Dec 1826 at Marietta, Washington, OH. [John may have bought land through the Federal Marietta Land Office.] John was recorded in the census in 1830 at Beaver Twp., Guernsey Co., OH. For some reason, he and Margaret Messencope lived on 15 Oct 1830 at Ohio Co., VA according to court records. John Martin was named in a Deed on 10 May 1831 at Guernsey Co., OH. He was named in a land contract on 23 Jul 1833 at the Federal Land Office, Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, for land in Licking County, Fallsbury Twp., OH, the E 1/2, SE 1/4, Sec 19, T4, R 10. He was named in a land contract on 18 Dec 1833 at Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, for additional land in Fallsbury Twp., the SW 1/4, SE 1/4, Sec 19, T4, R10; and on 15 Jan 1836 at Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, additional land for that farm, the NW 1/4, SE 1/4; Sec 19,T4,R10. He appeared on the census of 1840 in the household of Jonathon Martin [one of his eldest sons] at Fallsbury Twp, Licking Co., OH, suggesting that John was physically infirm. From court records, it appears that John may have died around 1847. No death record nor burial site has been found (19 Nov 2004). John and Susanna had nine children born in PA; names and birthdates are known for seven: i. CHILD 1 OF 2 UNNAMED CHILDREN was born between 1797 and 1820. He/she died before 1820. ii.

He died on 5 Feb 1873 at Cadiz Twp., Harrison Co., OH, at age 73. He was buried circa 7 Feb 1873 at Cadiz Union Cemetery, Cadiz Twp., Harrison Co., OH together with his wife Susanna who lived 1800-1884. iv. MARGARET was born circa 1800 at PA. She married John Morrison, son of William Morrison and Malinda SurNmUnk, on 22 Dec 1821 at Harrison Co., OH. She signed her name as "PEGGY MARTIN." She died circa 1836 at probably Noble Co., OH. She was buried circa 1836 at Old Sharonville or Crum Ridge Cem., prob Noble Co., OH.

If you have any interest in the following persons, I'd surely like to correspond with you. I have other data that I'll be glad to share. My primary goal is to learn the parents and sibilings of this John Martin and of this Susanna Ourie/Urey. Any help you can provide will be most welcome. John MARTIN was born ca. 1774 in "Little York" Co., PA; d. ca. 1848, possibly in or near Fallsbury Twp., Licking Co., OH. He was born "...of Irish parents who immigrated in an early day", perhaps about 1740-1770. That characterization in quotes from "Valley of the Upper Maumee" River", is largely correct. They probably were Scots-Irish [Martin family oral tradition] who originated in Scotland and then immigrated to Northern Ireland, then to SE Pennsylvania. John married Susa[nna] OURIE/ UREY/ ULREY/ URY/ ORY ca. 1797. Her family most likely lived in PA, probably in or near York or Lancaster Co. Susanna was born ca. 1776, died ca. 1818, in PA or in Belmont Co., OH. John married Margaret Messencope, daughter of Christopher and Magaretha Messencope on 11 Feb 1819 at Belmont Co., OH. John Martin was recorded in the census in 1820 at York Twp., Belmont Co, OH. He was shown on the Tax Roll in 1825 at Guernsey Co., OH. He was named in a land contract on 30 Dec 1826 at Marietta, Washington, OH. [John may have bought land through the Federal Marietta Land Office.] John was recorded in the census in 1830 at Beaver Twp., Guernsey Co., OH. For some reason, he and Margaret Messencope lived on 15 Oct 1830 at Ohio Co., VA according to court records. John Martin was named in a Deed on 10 May 1831 at Guernsey Co., OH. He was named in a land contract on 23 Jul 1833 at the Federal Land Office, Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, for land in Licking County, Fallsbury Twp., OH, the E 1/2, SE 1/4, Sec 19, T4, R 10. He was named in a land contract on 18 Dec 1833 at Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, for additional land in Fallsbury Twp., the SW 1/4, SE 1/4, Sec 19, T4, R10; and on 15 Jan 1836 at Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, additional land for that farm, the NW 1/4, SE 1/4; Sec 19,T4,R10. He appeared on the census of 1840 in the household of Jonathon Martin [one of his eldest sons] at Fallsbury Twp, Licking Co., OH, suggesting that John was physically infirm. From court records, it appears that John may have died around 1847. No death record nor burial site has been found (19 Nov 2004). John and Susanna had nine children born in PA; names and birthdates are known for seven: i. CHILD 1 OF 2 UNNAMED CHILDREN was born between 1797 and 1820. He/she died before 1820. ii. CHILD 2 OF 2 UNNAMED CHILDREN was born between 1797 and 1820. He/she died before 1820. iii. SAMUEL was born on 1 Apr 1799. He was baptized on 30 Aug 1800 at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, York, York Co., PA. He married Susannah Worley, daughter of Thomas M. Worley and Mary Walker, on 15 Aug 1822 at Harrison Co., OH.

I am looking for any help or suggestions in trying to locate the death and family of MARGARET SKIES. She was born in Pennsylvania about 1825, and by 1855 lived in Pawtucket, Bristol County Massachusetts where she married MICHAEL McGUIGAN, aka GOODWIN. The family moved from Massachusetts to Wisconsin in the early 1860s, but I believe Margaret may have died some where along the way. In 1870 Michael was living in Milwaukee with two older children, and three younger children were living in Menomonee, Waukesha County, Wisc. with JANE S. DELANY. I believe JANE S. DELANY, born in Pennsylvania, was a sister of MARGARET SKIES. Jane had also lived in Pawtucket, Mass. with her husband EDWARD DELANY, and their first son, WILLIAM DELANY was born in Pennsylvania. Another family member was MARY E. HARTLEY or HARKLEY, b. in Pennsylvania. She lived with Jane Delany and her family in Wisconsin also, and was called "a niece" of Jane's. I found the following few families in 1850 Pennsylvania: Allegany County, Pennsylvania: John Skees, 24, with a James (6) and Edward (21) all born in Pennsylvania John Skees, 70, with a Sarah (43) both born in Pennsylvania Chester County, Pennsylvania Jane Skies*, 71, with a James (39), Harman (37), John (32) all born in Pennsylvania *Although indexed as Skies, the name appears to be Stiles on the census Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Albert Skees, 57, with Emily (43), Emily (13), Lucy (10), Sarah (8), John B. (6), Reufield (4), all born in Pennsylvania Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, Spring Garden Ward 2 Margaret Skeis, 16, born in Pennsylvania, living with Gideon and Mary Pritchard, both born in New Jersey. Washington County, Pennsylvania: John Skeys (21) with a Margaret (21), living with Nathaniel McCash, 73, all born in Pennsylvania Would appreciate any help to find the parents of Margaret, or her death, or family, or any suggestions about this surname.
