It depends on which Petry named Martin you refer to and what dates. The first of my Petry knowledge is Martin Petry, the Rev War vet who married Eliz. Rains. He was from Orange County, VA rather than from Orange California. Tell me about the modern Martin Petry. Melva Dean wrote: > Have you come across an Ann Raines that married a Martin Petry?
