Pat, I have been looking through my notes on the Martins, looking for the name Bonham. No luck. I do have a note of a Nancy Martin that died in Fayette Co. GA. in 1860. Her age is given as 84. Also a B. Martin who died in Warren Co. KY. in 1850. His age is given as 77. Both of these individuals were born in VA. In searching further, I found a land record for a Benjamin Martin. He bought land through the Marrietta, OH. land office in 1838 and 1848. If this is my Benjamin (and I am finding there are lots of Benjamin Martins), and he is related to Bonham, then that may be the direction that we need to look now. It sure is nice to have someone to bounce idea's off of. Until now I had not found anyone that was researching Martins in the PA., W.VA., and OH areas. marilee
