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.

War Patriots Buried in Hancock & Hawkins Cos. 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.
