Posted on: Bowie County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Bowie/487 Surname: Martin ------------------------- I am trying to locate information on the parents/siblings of John Wesley Martin, born 7/24/1840 in Helena, AR. He is listed on the 1860 Bowie County, TX census with his sister, Harriett. He eventually moved back to GA, where the family was originally from, and married Mary Elizabeth Lang in 1867. One of his 5 children, William Joseph Martin, died in TX in 1859. I believe at one time was living with Harriett, John Wesley Martin's sister. If anyone has any information on this Martin line, please email me. Thanks.
