Have posted for this family before, but may have new people on the list, so here it is again: I am having a hard time locating the Ancestry of Thomas Martin b.? who married Sarah Cummings. They lived in Kirkdale, Durham twp, and had the following children: 1. Jane b. 1826 m. Philip LYSTER (THIS IS MY LINE & HAVE A LARGE DESCENDANCY0 2. Emily b. 1827 m. George FEE 1868 & m. (2) Thomas MONTGOMERY (Have some descendancy on this line ) 3. Sarah A. b. 1828 m. JONES 4. Thomas b. 1830 m. Ruby JUDD (Have quite a lot on this line) 5. Lorenda or Lucinda Harriet b. 1831 m. Martin WAKEFIELD 6. Edward William b. 1833 m. Esther LYSTER (In 1877 was from New York) 7. Leah b. 1836 8. Elizabeth "Eliza" C. b. 1837 m. MCCURDY 9. Henry b. 1839 10. George b. 1842 11. Esther Mary or May b. 1844 m. ATKIN of Hartford, Conneticut, 12. Albert b. 1848 Sarah Cummings died age 56 in 1858, was born in Wheelock or Lyndon Vermont and came to Canada with her parents Adams and Leah HUBBARD CUMMINGS in 1816. The local history says that Thomas Martin came up the River from Boston, US and landed on an Island in the St. Francois River. That Mr Stevens went and offered him some land, and he decided to stay. I would think it possible that he may have been married prior to this and his wife may have died, so he may have had children prior to the children with Sarah Cummings. These children, if any, I would love to hear from. Sarah Cummings also was married to a BROOKS and had a son Adams Brooks who may have married a CLAMPETT. Thomas Martin and his children were said to be of UEL Stock. Thomas Martin may have remarried. The sons of Thomas Martin, Albert, George and Henry would have been the right age to have joined the Cival War, if there are any people out there that know of the Durham Twp residents that joined up. I would love to hear from anyone that could help me with this family. Descendants would be wonderful. Thanks, Bonny
