Frank, The book is not indexed. I thumbed through it but didn't see anything on Martin even though I know they are there. I know the Martins were in this county very early. Below is some early censuses information that I have. I am looking for the family of J. B. "Buck" Martin who married Jennie White on 01 June 1879. Uncle Buck applied for a license on 14 Dec. 1878, The license was returned not executed on 31 May 1879. The same day, he applied for a second license. They were married the next day as shown above. Virginia I. Martin, 09/28/1858-06/27/1913, was the daughter of Thomas and Martha W. White. J. B. Martin later married Martha Catherine Cagle. 1820 Census, Hardin Co., TN Seth Martin 0001-001 John Martin 20001-0001 Jonathan W. Martin 11001-311 1830 Census, Hardin Co, TN Thomas J.
