Sarah Martin is named as a daughter in the Charlotte County will of Edward Elam, dated 1 January 1809, and referred to again in the estate settlement only as "Sarah Martin." I would like to find the name of her husband. Edward Elam's other children have marriage records ca. 1786-1812 in Lunenburg, Mecklenburg & Charlotte Counties. Does anyone have record of a marriage, ca. 1786-1809, between Sarah Elam and a Martin?

To William Disbro and others, court records from Charlotte County and other VA counties can be obtained through your library from the Library of Virginia on interlibrary loan, or through your nearest Family History Center of a Church of Latter Day Saints. The LDS is faster; a small charge is involved. They have records from all over the country and world, for that matter. Ward H. Oliver
