Sorry Janet, Beg to differ. There are 6 James Martin's in the cemetery book. (1) James: b: 29 Sep 1950; d: 29 Feb 1952; burial at Breen Cemetery (2) James A.; b: u/k; d: u/k; burial at Cook Cemetery; Headstone notation: Co B 23 VA Inf (3) James H.; b: 1870; d: 1950; burial at Elton Cemetery (4) James H.; b: 04 Apr 1836; d: 02 Jul 1901; burial at Halidon (the death date is wrong for this James, see below) (5) James L.; b: 23 Nov 1865; d: 28 Jun 1925; burial at Cook cemetery (6) James Otis; b: 12 Nov 1924; d: 02 Apr 1990; burial at Halidon Cemetery. James Henderson Martin was the son of Shad & Elizabeth and was married to #1: Elizabeth Fox and #2: Delilah Lowe-Newcomb (she and James married on 20 Mar 1902 in Summers). She had 5 children with her first husband, Robert Newcomb (John W., Martha F., Emily Alice "Emma", James R. and Rosa E.), no children with James. James' only living child was Louisa B. Martin-Marion, my great-great grandmother. Elizabeth and Delilah share a headstone at the Halidon cemetery (Delilah isn't listed in the Summers Co. cemetery book but if you see Betsy's headstone and look at the back it's right there.) Delilah was born 17 Jan 1847 and died 22 Jan 1913 in Green Sulphur. The reason I know that James didn't die in 1901 (the date listed in the cemetery book is Elizabeth's death) is that in the 1910 census he is listed: Summers Co., WV, Green Sulphur Dist., pg 194b, #132/133, age 73, married 8 years, Farmer (Delilah is in household with him) and in the 1920 census he's listed: Summers Co., WV, Green Sulphur Precinct, pg 172a, #33/31, age 82, Widowed, Farmer with his step-daughter, Emma, age 41y. She never married but did have a daughter, Mary. She died 29 February 1940 of Influenza and is also buried at Halidon. She's living with Mary and her husband in the 1930 census and there is no mention of James anywhere in the census. I would love to find out exactly when he died as he was CSA and is "entitled" to a headstone. Just know it was between 1920 & 1930 sometime. Thanks!
