Mar 1856 d. 28 Feb 1916 may have been a decendent of the pioneer Martin Honaker that came to Russell County in 1793, that one was b. about 1770 d.about 20 Aug 1848. Martin b. Mar 1856 married Frances L. Rose b. Feb 1856 d. 19 Jan 1921 from Tazewell. They were married on 26 Apr. 1875. She was D/O John Rose b. 1831 & Elizabeth Hale b. 1831 who were married 12 Sep 1850. John was S/O Samuel Rose & Margaret Cantrell. Elizabeth was D/O James D. & Jane ? Hale. Florence seems to be on the 1910 Census in New Garden with her father and perhaps step mother, her name is difficult to read, if this is indeed her she was b. 1901. The 1900 Census list Martin with Francis and these children: Nicholas b. Dec 1885, Melvin H. b, Mar 1888, Geo. W. b. May 1893, Catharine J. b. Aug. 1877. Catharine is a widow. And Cora b. May 1885. Catharine later m. a John Sims.25, of Scott Co., VA on 22 Oct 1897. The 1930 list Arthur with Florence and the following children, Alvin b. 191! 7, Rochelle b. 1921, Rosealee b. 1923, Helen b. 1927 and James b. 1929. Please keep in mind that all this is just a basis to begin. Nothing has been documented. Hope this helps. Pauline
