Fran & Emma: I read your posting on the above person, and I would like to know more about him. I am trying to find 3 persons named Martin. George W. Martin, William Martin, Sr., and Thomas S. Martin. These three men were mentioned in a probate document as being appointed the guardians for three COX children. This was in Livingston County, MO. in 1843. Does your Wm Martin have ancestors that lived in that area during the 1840's? Then the families moved to Jack County in 1876, and settled in Gibtown, TX I have been led to believe these COX children 's mother was a Martin, and that was the reason they were chosen as their gaurdians when their parents died. Please let me hear from you about these people. Thanks,
