Jack, your James Martin is, no doubt, in the same family. I'm trying to sort out the Martins, but it'll take a while. I'm wondering if you could tell me the name of their first born son?

I have a James Martin, born about 1813 who married Agnes Saunders before 1838 in Franklin County. Could there be a relation here? They had a daughter, Mary V., who married Noah Underwood, my great grandfather. Any information you may have which may connect my Martin to yours would be appreciated. Thanks J. B. A.

The 1782 Henry Co. VA has a James Martin, 2 John Martins, and Hugh Martin. One of the John Martins was comparitively wealthy, he owned 9 horses, 23 cattle and a dozen slaves. Tax lists suggest that he lived on Riding Creek, and the 1810 census has John with 23 slaves. One Deed record shows that he owned 700 ac near the Lynchburg Road & Chestnut Crk. which he sold to Robert Hunter. This John Martin, Sr. appears to have had a son, John Martin, b. abt. 1755 (executor of his estate, also the same one that shows on the 1782 Henry Co. Tax List), and a daughter Sarah, b. about 1750 (who married Robert Mason.) Other sons appear to be Hugh Martin, b. abt. 1740 (who married Margaret Woods) and James (as above) who married ???. There are other children. John Martin Sr. died in 1813 in Franklin Co., VA. I'm looking for additional information on this John Martin and his sons. I'm happy to exchange information with anyone interested. Marla
