James Martin , Sr. b. 1749 VA d. 1788 , married Obediance Bugg b. 1755. There is a line coming down from this couple which has a BAYLY MARTIN, as the son of James Obediance Martin. Because of the use of the name Bayley Martin in my family line, I am wondering if my family descends from this couple? Please reply with comments and corrections. Best regards, Lilly Martin, d/o Joe, s/o Joe, s/o Joe, s/o William M. Martin b. 1826 NC.
