Joann, my guess is that, if you have a Mary Martin b. about 1800, and her mother is named Susie in Franklin Co., then she is probably a daughter of Robert Martin and Susannah Robinson. This Robert Martin was the son of Hugh Martin. Hugh supposedly died in Clark Co., Georgia in 1815. I've traced this Robert Martin in Franklin County only to 1804 in the tax lists, but he does not appear in the 1805 list. Neither does Hugh. Do you think this fits?

Marla, My computer has been on the blink, so I just picked up my e-mail for two weeks, today. I am also interested in the Martins. I have a Mary Martin that married Tunstall Ferguson in about 1819. Tunstall lived in Pittsylvania County. Mary died after before 1822, and her daughter was raised by her grandmother Susie Martin of Franklin, Virginia. Mary had at least two sisters, Betsy and Deliah. I have been trying to find these family. I found the a John Martin married Susannah Joetz 1 Apr 1782, in Pittsylvania County. Could this be one of your John's? I also have Robert Martin married to Susannah Robinson on Dec 16, 1799 in Franklin Co. I found both of their wills and apparently they had no living heirs. There was also a Robert Martin married Susannah Ray Feb. 13. 1798 in Franklin County. I have not sure if this was a another Robert or the same one. I also found a Isham Martin married 15 Dec. 1789 in Pittsylvania to Sausannah Covington. Do any of these connect with your information?

Okay this is what I have found out so far.Hezekiah Martin and Matthew Martin were seen on the Nelson Co.VA census records in Nelson Co.VA 1810.Jesse Martin was seen on the Amherst Tax records late 17 hundreds.Hezekiah Martin and his father Jesse Martin moved to Ogelthorple ,Ga.Billie Lewis thinks that Hezekiah and Matthew were brothers as Matthew Martin named one of his sons Hezekiah Martin in Franklin Co.VA.Jesse Martin left a will in Ga.naming Hezekiah as his son.He also mentions leaving money to other heirs but the will does not mention who the other heirs were.Jesse Martin was born about 1750.Matthew Martin being born abt 1773,Billie Lewis mentions that Matthew Martins son Hezekiah does not know who Matthew Martins parents were.As he reported the death.If it can be proved that Hezekiah Martin and Matthew Martin were brothers then Jesse Martin who died in Ga would be the father of Matthew Martin.Any help would be greatly appreciated.As I stated before Joseph Jerrald/Jarrell aged 21 seen on the 1850 census record in Franklin Co.VA.with wife Elizabeth believe she was Elizabeth Martin next door to them is John Jerrald/Jarrell aged also 21 wife Anney Martin as they were married in Floyd Co.VA 1848 Elizabeth and Anney Martin were the daughters of Matthew Martin born 1773 he married Edith Staton.Now Joseph Jarrells children Samuel Jarrell married Martha Underwood ,his son Dennis Jarrell married Ellender Underwood,his daughter Lucinda Jarrell married Noah Underwood Martha ,Noah ,and Ellender were all the sons and daughters of Samuel Underwood and Rebecca Hollins/Holland.So you can understand why I would like so much to have more info on the Martin family to tie it all in.Thanks in Advance for any help given.Gloria ps Joseph Jarrell had an America Jarrell age abt 9 living with him and Elizabeth on the 1850 census record in Franklin Co.VA I can find absolutely nothing on her as she is not seen on the 1860 census record with them.I did find a Civil War pension on Joseph Jarrold Elizabeth Jarrold filed for it in 1889 she was living in Floyd Co.VA.Joseph died in 1863 in the Civil War.and on the 1870 census Elizabeth Jarrell is a widow then on the 1880 census in Franklin Co.VA Elizabeth and children are living right beside Hezekiah Martin son of Matthew Martin. ~Wehali Usdi~<Look not at the Eyes but at the Soul> ----- Original Message ----- From: "m.moore1 " <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 6:37 AM Subject: Re: [VAFRANKL] Hudson Martin Nelson Co .VA > > Thank you, Gloria.

They was called to jury duty to hear the following case: "MICAJAH STONE, late of the County of Patrick, Labourer, who was heretofore indicted of murder and thereof arraigned, and plead not guilty, and for his trial put himself upon God and this Country, was again led to the bar. Whereupon came a jury, to-wit: Edward THOMAS, Harden H. MOORE, John SCOTT, John MARTIN, Golihue MOORE, Henry HART, Edward MURPHY, WIlliam BOOKER, James MARTIN, Joseph VARNER, Bailey CARTER and Gabriel DEHART who say that defendant is not guilty of the felonious killing of Richard STONE in the indictment named because he was a lunatic at the time of such killing. Therefore it is considered by the court that he be discharged and acquitted. At the further order of this Court, being satisfied that the said MICAJAH STONE is a lunatic, that he be remanded to prison, and to be taken before the Justices of this County and examined by touching the state of his mind and the propriety of sending him to the lunatic hospital." (Note: Richard Stone is the father of Micajah Stone.) I see that there is also a Giles MARTIN living in Patrick County and who is serving on the jury, April Term, 1816.

Do you know if any of your John Martins was an attorney in Richmond, VA during 1855? Or perhaps part of that family from Franklin? Thank you in advance.

Gloria, thank you for the information. No doubt you've done a lot of research here, and right now, I don't think that I can help. However, I'm wondering if you've checked Orange Co. VA records at earlier dates? That's what I'm going to do and hopefully, will be able to connect some of these Martins. Good luck, Marla
