Dates are from History of Albemarle CO (VA), p 263, as given in information. Often, however, books with so much material may have slight errors. I believe some of your dates are off. Joseph son of Joseph I & Susannah Chiles was born 18 Sept.1740 near Charlottesville, Louisa, VA. He died 8 Sept. 1808 in Henry County, VA. He was mar'd. at least 3 times, (1) Sarah Lucas, (2) Betsy Ward, (3) Susannah Graves. I think that I have all of his children by the 3 wives, but who knows. I descend from his brother brother William Peters Martin whom I did an SAR Supplemental App. I joined the SOR under Capt. William Martin.

While General Martin was indeed an early leader in the State of Franklin, he later pulled out and with drew his support as he thought it would hurt his place as the Indian Agent. Most historians with Joseph credit for keeping the Cherokees out of the Southern Invasion. IF they had alined with the British, the results at King's Mountain, Cowpens, might have been different.

Captain Joseph Martin (1740-1808) was a frontier military leader and an early inhabitant and leader of the State of Franklin. In Lord Dunmore's War (1774) he was appointed Captain in the Militia of Pittsylvania Co., VA and served in the same capacity at the beginning of the Revolutionary War; he was later made Lt. Colonel. Many of the men who served with him, like their leader, became early citizens of the new state of Tennessee. This is extracted from The Draper Manuscripts by James R.

I would dearly love to have a picture of the cemetery or at least the coordinates of where Seth Manis is buried. It is said that he is buried 9 miles from Rogersville TN on the north side of Clinch Mountain. Bob Betty Hughes <[email protected]> wrote: No, but I think one of our SAR members does.
