This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Martin, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/yBC.2ACI/538.1 Message Board Post: I am a descendant of Thomas Martin and Ann Moorman, the daughter of Charles Moorman and Elizabeth Reynolds. This Martin line is through my proven lineages of Moon, Roundtree, and Welborn Families, who came from Martinsville Virginia to North Carolina, and then settling in Piercetown (now Williamston), Pendleton district South Carolina in the late 1790s. In the HISTORIES OF ANDERSON COUNTY.. by Vandiver, it claims that Thomas Martin (the Grandson of Thomas Martin and Ann Moorman) and wife Hester Roundtree arrived with their children from Virginia to Piercetown in 1789, but my great uncle Gene Welborn, who is a noted author and genealogist, has published later findings to reveal through the North Carolina births of the elder children that these Martins that they did not arrive in the Pendleton until the late 1790s. Both of these sources go on further to write that Jacob Martin, the eldest son of Thomas Martin and Hester Roundtree, married Cathrine Martin, his first cousin from Edgefiled , the daughter of William Martin and Margaret Rowan. (My 3rd great grandmother is Mary "Polly" Martin m. Thomas Welborn, the sister of Jacob.)_ Within my own research, the parents of Thomas and William Martin are Charles Martin and Martha "Patsy" Moon. Charles Martin was born 1745 Albemarle County Virginia and died 1808 Abbeville District South Carolina. Charles Martin (1745-1808) is the son of Thomas Martin (1714-1792) and Ann Moorman . My studies show Thomas Martin (1714-1792) is the son of John Martin, Sr, (1683-1736) and Leticia Lewis.I also have John Martin, Jr,(b.1710) as their son m. Mary Unknown m2. Mary Scott m3. Ann Farish. I am seeking information on the son of John Martin and Annie Thompson, Phares Carter Martin. I believe that Euseba? Martin, the daughter of Phares and (one of his four wives) to be Adaline Martin Walker (abt 1830 to 1876) who was the wife of Burton Chesley Walker (1823 to 1880) of both Abbeville and Edgefield South Carolina.Adaline Martin Walker is also my 3rd great grandmother through another unrelated Welborn line. Any info on this is greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me at cobesmom@yahoo.com. Its sounds like we might both be able to help each other.
