Linda John Martin and Mary Keatley is as far back As I have been able to take the Martin Family. John Martin - Susanna Waggoner My greatgrandmother was Sarah Louisa Rachel Martin, who married John Alexander Gore. She died and was buried in Alamagordo, New Mexico on Dec 26, 1915 on her and John Alexander Gore homestead behind there home. Now whether the graves still exist to be found I don't know. (My mother had a brother that was stillborn and is buried out their homestead and I have no idea if his gravesite still exist anymore or not, or if it was move like the ones at Lilly, West Virginia was) I have a picture of their house. John eventually moved back to West Virginia and lived out his life with his son Silas Gore, who lived in Beckley. They went west with their daughter Ella Lea Gore, my grandmother and Louden Gilbert Lilly (my grandfather)who also went out west to homestead. They left West Virginia in 1905. John Alexander was living with my grandfather in the 1920 census. My grandparents returned in 1927 to live for a while down up a little ways from the Little Bluestone River. Later left that farm and moved up into Pipestem to a larger farm, where he died of the Flu at the Hinton Hospital on Feb 22, 1963. My grandmother Ella lived there with him almost to her last, when she was transfer to the Bluefield Santarian, in Bluefield, West Virginia. She died in 9 Aug 1960. John Alexander Gore, if I remember right died in the 1960, will have to look at notes. Both my grandmother and grandfather was born in Mercer County, WVA - Ella was born at Island Creek and Louden Gilbert Lilly was born at Camp Creek, WVA My grandfather parents were Capt Jonthan Lilly and Ruhama Gore (the sister to John Alexander Gore). Thank you for the information on the Flanning, Had very little on them. Any information would be appreciated. Sandy Moten Cocoa, Florida
