Surnames: Martin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AiB.2ACE/1111 Message Board Post: Finally I appear to have located my grandmother's family on the Freestone County census 1880. It has Marshal Martin and wife Elizabeth J. and a number of children, among them my grandmother Harrit E. L. Martin, age 5, and her older sister Auguster L. Martin, age 13. This family eventually moved to Erath County, Texas and my grandmother married George Rufus Stracener in 1895. Neither lady spelled their name as on the census, but we know how names were mispelled back then. All were born in Tennessee except for Elizabeth J. who was born in N. Carolina. I know a few bits of information on this family, but none of it adds up to make sense for a complete picture. Any help greatly appreciated on where in Tennessee they came from or anything else.

They married about 1816 in NC or SC. The lady told Doyle that Rachel's surname was CHESTER. His computer crashed and he lost all his info and cannot find his notes with the lady's name. Josephine Yerby Ford, d/o John Randolph Yerby, s/o Amon and Rachel, also gave her Grandmother Rachel's surname as CHESTER in Yerby family records that she passed on to a neice before she died. There has been a conflict about Rachel's surname. Was it DODSON, McMILLIAN or CHESTER? Anyone know anything about that Bible record? I have an idea that the Bible belongs to someone who descended from James Franklin Yerby, s/o Amon and Rachel Yerby, who settled in Buffalo, Leon Co., TX about 1870. Related families include descendants of John S. and Nancy (Dodson) Jones who married into the James Franklin Yerby family, Benjamin F and Martha Eveline (Yerby) Pounds family, George R. and Frances (Yerby) Martin family, John Wm. and Mary Katherine (Taggart) Yerby family, Franklin Monroe and Nancy Ann (Simmons) Yerby family, and Thomas Lee and Lucy Ann (Yarbrough) Yerby family. All of us descendants of Amon and Rachel Yerby would like to find proof of Rachel's surname. If you can supply this info, PLEASE, contact me. I have been shaking the YERBY/YEARBY/IRBY Family Tree twenty- plus years searching for those who walked this way before me. All help appreciated. Hildred Carlson
