You can say that again. In looking over that last message, think that the clerk of the court has two different men labeled as John Martin Jr. I don't think that I've ever seen anyone designated as the third III before--except if he's from a prominant family--which I don't think that there are any in our little group in Franklin Co. I looked for Archibald Reynolds in the 1810 Census, but didn't find him. At least this James Martin has his children all accounted for. According to what I've seen, John Martin Sr. had a will--but I don't know if it is in the FC Will Book or not.
