My Martin family lived in Wilson County TN. James Martin married Mary Eason in 1825 in Wilson Co. His brother, Robert B. Martin married Cynthia Hagerty, Mary Eason's 1st cousin. Both Robert and James died in Wilson Co. sometime after 1870. James& Mary was the parents of Joseph Burton Martin. Mary died abt 1829. James married Harriet Hagerty, sister of Cynthia. They had 7 children. Lafayette, Mary, Lucy, James, John, Harriet and Madeline.
Hope to make a connection to other family members.
Hi there my Martins come from London but could have originally come from Ireland. I have hit a brick wall with my great grandmothers father. I can't find him anywhere before being married. If anyone has Martins from the London/Surrey area I would be interested in hearing from you.
Hi, my Martins are from Oklahoma and Texas via Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina. I am working on getting them across the water. Let me know if you think we might have a connection.
I got a little ahead of myself and jumped back into house chores. Here are a few of my earliest identified Martins. I am still working on verifying sources so this information is based on data passed down to me from a family member.
John Martin born 10 Oct 1778 in Virginia; married Sidney Whitley in Washington County ,Virginia on 4 Dec 1804 and died in Monroe County, Kentucky on 31 May 1846.
David Martin (father of above John) born 1742 in Virginia, married Hannah and died 26 Aug 1824 in Cumberland County, Kentucky.
William Martin (father of above David) born about 1722 in Virginia, Married Elizabeth Lochram on 3 May 1757 in Virginia and died 24 Oct 1776 in Albermarle County Virginia.
I have rather sketchy details regarding a Martin ancestor. "Brother R. Martin" was a Methodist minister in Key West, Florida from 1883-1885, so my grandmother told me. So far, I have not been able to find him. I assume he was Robert and have found a few Robert Martins to begin a search through. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Hi Friends,
My Martin ancestors came from Hall County, Georgia. There are several families here and in the surrounding counties who migrated from SC. We aren't sure "who" and "which" are related... To make it more interesting, my Susie Martin ancestor married a Jones!
My mom's Grand mother was Maudie "Martin"/ Kidd/ Daughter of James Knox Polk Martin
Maudie Martin was born in 1890 she married William Harvey Kidd They are both out of the whitley, KY area
James Knox Polk Martin 07-12-1843 dob 1922 DOD
He was married to Silvania Lovett
any one make a connection please say hi to me
I am looking for information on John Martin and Thomas Martin, brothers who were married to Williams daughters of Daniel Williams. Daniel Williams was my GGGG Grandfather and he died in Newberry Co., SC 1825. His Will lists John Martin and wife and Thomas Martin and wife, but does not list their names. Hope to find some connections. Tina
Our Martin's were most from GA to Texas (Cass County).. but I am looking for William Martin b:1844 GA married a WILLANTA or Milanta ??? sometime in Texas. Looking for his parents and her family. They had a daughter Ida Virginia, William, Emma, Colquitt, Ida married a William Preston Hall Cass County Texas. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
My Martin brick wall is Thomas T. Martin b. 1790s in Va. married abt 1820 to Keziah/Kissiariah (unknown last name) b 1803 in SC. She was rumored to be full blooded Cherokee. Speculations are that he is descended from Brig General Joseph Martin. They relocated to Fort Smith Ark by 1820 and were first settlers there. Their children were born there and by 1838-9 they moved to Texas where he died in 1840s. If any of this makes connections with yours, I have some suppositions as well as some facts from them forward via their daugher Emaline Martin Morgan.
Hello! I have members of my Fox family that married into the Martin Family from Albemarle and Amherst counties Virginia. The Martins were very close to Samuel Fox and family during the 1770s in that area.
Hello,
I am looking for descendants of Edwin Martin and Mary Gransberry. They had two daughters that I know of, Fannie I Martin and Ethel A. Martin. Both were born in Reno Kansas. This family moved to Bent Colorado after 1915. They are listed in the 1920 census in Caddoa Bent Colorado, the trail has now run cold.
It is possible that I have found my Thomas T. Martin's family. Joseph and Patsey(Martha Bailey) from Va. Found a great resource in the book of Virginia/West Va Revolutionary War Pensions online, listing the places they lived and their children: Stephen b.11/28/1779, Susanna 5/8/1787, Morning/Moaning 8/1/1789, Joseph 9/7/1791-2, Thomas 5/26/1795, Martha/Patsey 5/27/1798 (m. John Perdue). In 1839 Stephen, Susanna, Morning, Joseph reside in Patrick Co. Va dau Patsey res Rockingham Co NC Son Thomas then res "somewhere in the West"... P 179-180.
The book is a preview on Google Books Online but many Martins are present. If you need genealogy info verification, the info does help.
Now if we could find Kessariah/Keziah SC...
Cindy, in looking for Kessiah check records in Spartenburg, Cherokee and Greenville Co, SC. That is where the Cherokees had their land by treaty until was taken away.. Really it extend west from a line just about the line of Cherokee Co but records sort of scattered as counties were formed and county lines changed.. areas called Districts back them too
Looking for Samuel Martin b Nov 1798 in VA. Later to Greenbrier Co., VA/WV where the family has been for 200 yrs. Samuel was probably the son of Robert Martin and Mary Craig who left Augusta Co., VA and settled in Nicholas Co., VA/WV about 1803. I have Samuel and his kids, grandkids,etc well documented, so I'm looking for anyone that descends from this family and any info on Samuel before 1820.
Hi Martin followers! Since my last post several things have changed. Thomas Tilman Martin is NOT the son of Joseph and Patsey Martin as I posted last Feb. He is the son of a Joseph Martin, wife unkn. b. ~1772 probably Albermarle Va. This Joseph was in Wilson County Tn before 1800 and had several children there. Thomas T had brothers James, John, William Moon, as well as sisters Elizabeth and Martha. In total, there were 18 children, many as yet undiscovered. The previously mentioned children moved to Arkansas about 1819-20 and Joseph had his remaining children there and died there.
Recent evidence shows part of these children were also in Georgia, dying in Olgethorpe Co. Many went on to Texas and Oklahoma by 1850.
Recently 2 family members did DNA and we are related to Cluff or Clough Martin, John Henry Martin of Missouri? Hudson Martin and closely compare to several groups in the study.
I believe several of you are of the same lines from the postings I have seen. The names and instances posted by Cheryl Hoover Davis, Betty Vaughn, Shay Farnsworth, Judy Kinney, Candy Kammerman and maybe others seem as though you might also be of this line.
I will be happy to share whatever our group and our researcher has found with you, if you wish. I can be reached by email cjhanrahan@sbcglobal.net if you are one of these named persons and would like to discuss what we have found...and share what you know.
We are debating at the moment if Joseph Martin's father might be Shadrack Henderson, also know as Shadrack Martin. Do any of you have this odd situation in your lineage? Maybe you can clear it up for us.
I look forward to sharing information with you. Once I learn to add stuff here, I will also post it here for you.

I found this information on Ancestry.com regarding Thomas Martin's Will 1816.
He had a wife with the last name Williams and his brother John Martin also had a wife with last name Williams. Both Thomas and John Martin were mentioned in my GGGG Grandfather, Daniel Williams' Will. The Williams' daughters' names were not given. I am searching for descendants of these two Martins.
Will of Thomas Martin (signed 3 Jan 1816, proven Mar Court 1816) named 8 children. The sons (not necessarily in age-order) were Samuel D., Isaac, Joseph, John, Thomas, and Daniel; daughters were Abrilla and Drusilla. Joseph Martin was executor along with widow-Ruth. That guarantees that Joseph was of legal age in 1816 (born by 1795). He'd have been the oldest of the sons still resident in Christian Co KY. Joseph Martin married Jane Rager, whose family thoughtfully kept a Bible. Joseph (28 Dec 1789 - 4 Nov 1869) was born in Wilkes Co GA, died in Todd Co KY. QED: Thomas and Ruth Williams Martin lived in Wilkes Co GA at the time of the 1790 census. As did John and Drusilla Williams Martin
Cindy, I am looking for info on the MARTINs of Wilson CO, TN. My ancestor is James Martin born about 1803 in NC or VA (census info varies)... I know he had a brother named Robert B. Martin (b. abt 1801) My James Martin married Mary Eason in Wilson County in 1825. Thier son Joseph B. Martin was born 18 Dec 1825. Mary died abt 1827 and James married Harriet Hagerty in 1830 in Wilson Co. Robert B. Martin married Cynthia Hagerty sister of Harriet. They were the daughters of Patrick Hagerty and Elizabeth Eason. The Hagertys and the Eason families came from Gates Co, NC. by 1800.
Betty, yes this is sounding possible. Joseph the father was on Tax list of Cpt. Crawley in Tn 1803, Cpt Blalock's district 1804 w/200 A. on Barton's Creek. 1805 is on Cpt Martin's tax list w 220 A . He was on Cpt.Martin's tax list 1806 for 100A and in 1807 for 140 A on Sinking Creek. He sold land in 1810 to John Randolph in town of Lebanon. He had children named James b. 1807 but m. Elizabeth Ann Combs, Thomas T. b. by 1800 m. Keziah Bradley b. 1803 SC, William Moon b.1803 m. Levinia Sherrill, Elizabeth b. 1805 m. Issac Taylor. Ruben E. b. 1819 m. Harriet Bean, Malinda b. 1817 m. John Rutherford, Martha b. 1812 m. Anthony Alvis Reed. He sold his land in Tn about 1811 and was in that War 1813 at age 41. He then moved into Ark in 1820s. He may have been in Ga or NC before he went to Ark. We know Thomas, James and Wm were buying land in Ark by 1820. Joseph is in Ark by Tax list in Pope Co Ark in 1828.
I don't know about Robert but there are several years after Thomas T's birth before children became an annual event that were not marked as births. Where was Robert B born ? There were many repeating names. In Ga and NC there were some Vaughans that Martins married. Might have been Hudson or Cluff Martin, I don't recall off the top of my head.
I'm going to send your info to our group and see if anyone can figure it out and get back to you.
Tina, I see the timeline might be right but again, I need to check with the Martins to be certain I can answer you correctly.
I wish it were clear for all of us.
I'll be back to you soon as I check the facts. You can Email me if you wish for copies of all I have.
Question for the Group: Sampson Martin SR was born in 1805 in spartenburg,SC and his children were James Knox Polk Martin,Sampson Martin JR, Mary Martin, Catherine Martin, Jane Martin Telitha Martin and Finaly Elizabeth Martin. Do these connect to any other trees out there. I have gone as far as i can with the Martins side and need help.
James Knox Polk Martin B 07-12-1843 in Waren TN -D 12-29-1922 in Whitley KY was my moms Great Grandfather.
His daughter Maudie Mae Martin B 04-1885 In Whitley KY Married William Harvey Kidd of Whitley KY
I have records indicating that James Knox Polk Martin was married to Silvana Lovitt 10-12-1865 But again this is where the information stops. anyone???
Hello, I am new to researching ancestry so any suggestions will be well recieved and appreciated! I am looking for information on Ida Lee Martin born in Maries co, Missouri. She was at least 1/2 cherokee. Her parents William Clayton Martin and Lydia Ann Carnes. William's father was John Martin born in NC about 1817. I believe that they came to Missouri in early 1830's from NC by way of Tennessee. Not sure how long they were in Tn or what area. Also not sure what area of NC they came from. I have a little more information to share if this is sounding familiar to anyone.
Betty, I'm still gathering connections with Joseph and John Martin. Still supposing Joseph is father to Thomas T, Wm Moon, James, John and others. Was wondering if you can share what and how you think Robert is related and about the Joseph B you mention? Did any of your Martin family have DNA done? If not, is there anyone descending from the Martin line that would have it done? What can you tell me about the John Martin of Wilson Co? We think he could be Joseph's father but need more dots to connect them...
Also, Marianna Isgrig: Tell me about your John Martin too. There are so many John Martins that we need to be certain that we eliminate those NOT in our line.
Some of the Martins went to Ky, then to Tn, then to Ga and Al, then Ark and Tx Some went from Ky to Ohio to Missouri... Who knows which were where and when? Hopefully, we leave a far more clear trail when we go.
I am in the process of proving my lineage back to the Irish immigrant, William Martin (29 Mar 1718-16 Jan 1780). He died in Cocolamus, Juniata Co., PA. His wife was Margaret (26 Apr 1721-23 Dec 1796). She, too, was born in Ireland and died in Cocolamus. He was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War having served under Capt William Butler 2nd Battalion.
Their son, David Martin (24 Oct 1745-19 Apr 1805) is said to be the executor of his father's will. If at all possible, I need to obtain a copy of that will, or at least the parts that show his heirs. David was born in Cumberland Co., PA and died in Fairfield Co., OH. He was married first to Grizella McMeen (1748-1780) with whom he had three children. She was born in and died in Cumberland Co., PA. I would also be interested, if possible, in obtaining a copy of David's will if there was one. David was also a veteran of the American Revolutionary War with his service being with Capt. Hugh McAlister's Co.
Also, I need to prove the connection between David and his son, William (11 May 1772-6 Nov 1852). William was born in Fermanagh, Cumberland Co., PA and died in Carroll Co., IN. He was married to Phoebe Larimer (15 Jun 1766-15 Jun 1836). She was born in Cocolamus and died in Carroll Co., IN, too. It may be possible that this connection may be in spelled out in the will of the elder William, above. The younger William fought in the War of 1812 as a Lieutenant in Capt. William Sumner's Co.
Any help from fellow Martin researchers would be appreciated!
I am trying to look for info on John Pigg Martin b. april 23, 1777 , Henry County, Virginia d. July 2, 1867 in Smith County, Misssissppi. Looking for his parents! That would solve a huge mystery in my Martin lineage. Are you a distant cousin???!! Do you have any info on these Martins? Thanks i always KNEW Martin's were special people
I am researching my Martin family line. Unfortunately, My grandmother died at a very young age and nothing of her family history was preserved. I have only a few facts to go. First, her family was involved in the patent of Long Johns, also she originated from Boston. If anyone has any leads that may be able to help me, I would appreciate the info. I am really stuck at this point with guessing her family members names, at least until the 1940's census.
Welcome to the group! Can you explain what the patent of Long Johns was? Also if you could provide your grandmother's name, birth date/place, etc. then there might be those here who could give you some leads.
The patent was for Long John Underwear. I am waiting to get a copy of the patent. Our family sold the patent and from some general research a Frank Stanfield takes credit for the creation. My Grandmother's name is Joan Phyllis Martin, bod 6/15/1935 and born in Boston. She died on 6/12/1971 at the age of 36. She married my Grandfather Harold Murch Fuller on 10/10/1955 (age 20) in Maine. She had three children, 2 boys and 1 girl.
Just to report back...I was able to obtain more information on my line and actually found some living ancestors that I will be meeting next year at my wedding. Has been an amazing journey researching this line!
My Martin family begins with Tarlton Martin who married Mary Walton in Washington County, VA. I know most of their children, and that Tarlton died in Warren County, MO. Have not figured out his parents or where Mary died.
Looking for information on Mary "Polly" Martin born in TN 1809. Part or full Cherokee. Married Hayden Gregory Wayne County Kentucky. Some of their children moved to Crawford County, Arkansas. I have that information, but no one seems to know about Mary's family.
Looking for information about the Martin family from Fauquier Co. Virginia. My grandmother was Anna Martin Keady (1897-1980), her father was Wade Hampton Martin (1867-1937), his father was James F. Martin (1820-1883). Not much is known about James except he was a laborer and shoemaker in Warrenton VA, was married to Emily Brown and had many many children. I've been unable to locate where he is buried, where he was married or much information about his early life or his own parents.
My earliest known ancestor is Charles William MARTIN born about 1784 in Magdeburg, Prussia now Germany. Charles, believed to be of black African descent, came to England via France in 1800 and joined the British navy. He served on HMS ACHILLE at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. He married Priscilla SHERKEY in 1813. On discharge from the navy in 1815, he settled in Priscilla's birthplace of Frome, Somersetshire, England. Charles died in 1824. Looking to trace my earlier ancestry by Y-DNA testing with FTDNA and conventional genealogical research.
James Madison Martin was my great grandfather, born in Lawrenceburg, Tenn in 1832. Moved to Dent Co. MO around 1860 with his wife Elizabeth Ivey. He had 16 children, 8 with Elizabeth and after she died he married her sister Mary Agnus Ivey and had 8 children. The last child was my grandfather, Charles Mogust Martin. Would appreciate any info about the Martin family in Tennessee.
I am looking for info on the Martin families in Davidson and Wilson Counties TN from 1800 to after the War. Is Thomas C. Martin the son of Brice Martin and his he the father of Mary B. Martin who married Henry A. Ausburn/OsBorn?
I need to contact a researcher in Davidson County to lookl for deeds for me. Can anyone recommend anyone?
I am looking for information on my paternal grandfather's family. My grandfather, Robert Rufus Martin, was born in Clarke County, MS on March 25, 1887. He had a sister, Mae, and a brother, Will. I have no information on his parents and am looking to research the family line. At some point the family moved to Meridian, MS (Lauderdale County, MS). Any help would be appreciated.
Norma Wiese I am David Martin, Oklahoma and I may be able to give you some info . email me: dmartin49@hotmail.com . My Martin relatives were from around mississippi.
I'm looking for James Martin born in Kentucky 1856. He married Ida M. Watson in Louisville, Kentucky 1885. They lived in Galena, Kansas and adoted my grandmother, Virginia, abt. 1900. James stole the identity of Dr. Fred Lanoix in 1902 and practiced under said name. James performed at least 2 surgeries and the ladies died. He was arrested and died at the Wyandotte County jail in 1914.
Further to my message on my ancestor Charles William MARTIN born c1789s of Magdeburg, Prussia, there is a suggestion of an earlier connection with Charleston which I assume to be South Carolina. If he was of black African (or Native American) descent, he the MARTIN name would have been the slave owner.
Lille Amanda Martin 1893-1971 my father's mother is my link to the Martin Family - Lester W Galbreath
Our Martin family began with my 28th Great Grandfather in France with the birth of Martin De Tours in 1003 AD. At that point in history people did not usually travel more than a few miles from home and at first only had first names and no surnames, However the time came when people with the same name were becoming confusing so a second designation was added such as being referred to by their occupation, where they were from etc, Such as James the Wheeler, the son of James, or numerous others. His name was Martin and he lived in Tours France thus Martin Tours. The De in a name denoted the first person in a family line or a direct descendant from the first of a family. therefore Martin De Tours.
My branch of the Martin Family Tree descends through his son Martin De Tours Jr. born 1020 in Normandie, France.
I have a file on the Martins that landed in Virginia and migrated through Tennessee to Missouri to Texas. I also have a file on the descendents from Martin de Tours to Virginia. I would be happy to share information.
Looking for leads on William Martin and Ursula Samson. They are the parents of Samson Martin who was b. 18 Jul 1799 in Norton, Bristol, MA. He m. 22 May 1820 in Pawtucket, RI to Rebecca C. Collyer. He d. bef 27 Jun 1860. The 1860 RI Census lists Rebecca as widowed. Any leads or genealogical sources on the Martins in New England would be greatly appreciated.
Martin family from VA and TN. Hi, I'm looking for my future husband's relatives. Calvin Dennis Martin Jr. grew up in TN with his brother, Mark Martin, in the mid to late 50's and 60's. Their parent's names are, Calvin Dennis Martin Sr. and Thelma Gladys (Lane) Martin. They are from VA. I like to locate anyone who is related to these Martin family. Thanks.
Seeking information on the following Martin line....Marion, Tenn. via St. Luis to Austin, Texas......................................................................................................
Mary Molly Martin was born in Virginia about 1790. She is my great-great grandmother as determined by U.S. censuses from latter years. I am the great grandson of William Edward Martin and the grandson of James Marion Martin. Mary Molly.started having children in Virginia in about 1810.
Her first child was Leanna Druzilla Martin (1810 – bef. 1880, Webster, Missouri) born in Virginia followed by another daughter Alice Martin (July 1813 – 1903, Austin, Tx.) born in Virginia again. Her first son was James D. Martin born in 1819 in Winchester, Franklin, Tennessee. Her daughter Sarah Ann Martin was also born in Tennessee in April of 1822 followed by Thomas P. Martin born about 1824 in Tennessee, and then another son Morgan Martin born about 1827 also in Tennessee. My great Grandfather William Edward Martin was born January 3, 1828 in Indiana. Her last child was Goolman (pronounced Go-olman) D. Martin born the 20th of March 1833 in Tennessee.
In the 1840 Marion County Tennessee census Mary Martin is shown as head of household (only the head of household in shown on US census prior to 1850) and living two households from her is john Tatum, her son-in law. Since her last child was born in Tennessee about 1833 and she is shown as head of household in 1840, her husband disappeared from the scene between those two years. She is not shown as head of household in the 1830 Tennessee census which would lead us to believe that one of the Martin males shown in the 1830 Marion Co. Tenn. census was her husband. As of the writing of this narrative I have not been able to determine which one it would be. Therefore as of this writing I do not know who my great-great Grandfather Martin was.
Hi is anyone out there I'm the last Martin lef I'm looking for my for my family I'm born and raised in atl GA but most of my is in Tennessee .we were called the hillbilly's Indians my great grand father name was judge John Martin.

Betty, I'm still gathering connections with Joseph and John Martin. Still supposing Joseph is father to Thomas T, Wm Moon, James, John and others. Was wondering if you can share what and how you think Robert is related and about the Joseph B you mention? Did any of your Martin family have DNA done? If not, is there anyone descending from the Martin line that would have it done? What can you tell me about the John Martin of Wilson Co? We think he could be Joseph's father but need more dots to connect them...
Also, Marianna Isgrig: Tell me about your John Martin too. There are so many John Martins that we need to be certain that we eliminate those NOT in our line.
Some of the Martins went to Ky, then to Tn, then to Ga and Al, then Ark and Tx Some went from Ky to Ohio to Missouri... Who knows which were where and when? Hopefully, we leave a far more clear trail when we go.

I am in the process of proving my lineage back to the Irish immigrant, William Martin (29 Mar 1718-16 Jan 1780). He died in Cocolamus, Juniata Co., PA. His wife was Margaret (26 Apr 1721-23 Dec 1796). She, too, was born in Ireland and died in Cocolamus. He was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War having served under Capt William Butler 2nd Battalion.
Their son, David Martin (24 Oct 1745-19 Apr 1805) is said to be the executor of his father's will. If at all possible, I need to obtain a copy of that will, or at least the parts that show his heirs. David was born in Cumberland Co., PA and died in Fairfield Co., OH. He was married first to Grizella McMeen (1748-1780) with whom he had three children. She was born in and died in Cumberland Co., PA. I would also be interested, if possible, in obtaining a copy of David's will if there was one. David was also a veteran of the American Revolutionary War with his service being with Capt. Hugh McAlister's Co.
Also, I need to prove the connection between David and his son, William (11 May 1772-6 Nov 1852). William was born in Fermanagh, Cumberland Co., PA and died in Carroll Co., IN. He was married to Phoebe Larimer (15 Jun 1766-15 Jun 1836). She was born in Cocolamus and died in Carroll Co., IN, too. It may be possible that this connection may be in spelled out in the will of the elder William, above. The younger William fought in the War of 1812 as a Lieutenant in Capt. William Sumner's Co.
Any help from fellow Martin researchers would be appreciated!

Hello,
I am researching my Martin family line. Unfortunately, My grandmother died at a very young age and nothing of her family history was preserved. I have only a few facts to go. First, her family was involved in the patent of Long Johns, also she originated from Boston. If anyone has any leads that may be able to help me, I would appreciate the info. I am really stuck at this point with guessing her family members names, at least until the 1940's census.

Hi Melissa,
Welcome to the group! Can you explain what the patent of Long Johns was? Also if you could provide your grandmother's name, birth date/place, etc. then there might be those here who could give you some leads.

Looking for information about the Martin family from Fauquier Co. Virginia. My grandmother was Anna Martin Keady (1897-1980), her father was Wade Hampton Martin (1867-1937), his father was James F. Martin (1820-1883). Not much is known about James except he was a laborer and shoemaker in Warrenton VA, was married to Emily Brown and had many many children. I've been unable to locate where he is buried, where he was married or much information about his early life or his own parents.

Prussian MARTIN
My earliest known ancestor is Charles William MARTIN born about 1784 in Magdeburg, Prussia now Germany. Charles, believed to be of black African descent, came to England via France in 1800 and joined the British navy. He served on HMS ACHILLE at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. He married Priscilla SHERKEY in 1813. On discharge from the navy in 1815, he settled in Priscilla's birthplace of Frome, Somersetshire, England. Charles died in 1824. Looking to trace my earlier ancestry by Y-DNA testing with FTDNA and conventional genealogical research.

Thank you for any information.

Prussian MARTIN
Further to my message on my ancestor Charles William MARTIN born c1789s of Magdeburg, Prussia, there is a suggestion of an earlier connection with Charleston which I assume to be South Carolina. If he was of black African (or Native American) descent, he the MARTIN name would have been the slave owner.
Any research suggestions would be appreciated.

Lille Amanda Martin 1893-1971 my father's mother is my link to the Martin Family - Lester W Galbreath
Our Martin family began with my 28th Great Grandfather in France with the birth of Martin De Tours in 1003 AD. At that point in history people did not usually travel more than a few miles from home and at first only had first names and no surnames, However the time came when people with the same name were becoming confusing so a second designation was added such as being referred to by their occupation, where they were from etc, Such as James the Wheeler, the son of James, or numerous others. His name was Martin and he lived in Tours France thus Martin Tours. The De in a name denoted the first person in a family line or a direct descendant from the first of a family. therefore Martin De Tours.
My branch of the Martin Family Tree descends through his son Martin De Tours Jr. born 1020 in Normandie, France.
I have a file on the Martins that landed in Virginia and migrated through Tennessee to Missouri to Texas. I also have a file on the descendents from Martin de Tours to Virginia. I would be happy to share information.

Seeking information on the following Martin line....Marion, Tenn. via St. Luis to Austin, Texas......................................................................................................
Mary Molly Martin was born in Virginia about 1790. She is my great-great grandmother as determined by U.S. censuses from latter years. I am the great grandson of William Edward Martin and the grandson of James Marion Martin. Mary Molly.started having children in Virginia in about 1810.
Her first child was Leanna Druzilla Martin (1810 – bef. 1880, Webster, Missouri) born in Virginia followed by another daughter Alice Martin (July 1813 – 1903, Austin, Tx.) born in Virginia again. Her first son was James D. Martin born in 1819 in Winchester, Franklin, Tennessee. Her daughter Sarah Ann Martin was also born in Tennessee in April of 1822 followed by Thomas P. Martin born about 1824 in Tennessee, and then another son Morgan Martin born about 1827 also in Tennessee. My great Grandfather William Edward Martin was born January 3, 1828 in Indiana. Her last child was Goolman (pronounced Go-olman) D. Martin born the 20th of March 1833 in Tennessee.
In the 1840 Marion County Tennessee census Mary Martin is shown as head of household (only the head of household in shown on US census prior to 1850) and living two households from her is john Tatum, her son-in law. Since her last child was born in Tennessee about 1833 and she is shown as head of household in 1840, her husband disappeared from the scene between those two years. She is not shown as head of household in the 1830 Tennessee census which would lead us to believe that one of the Martin males shown in the 1830 Marion Co. Tenn. census was her husband. As of the writing of this narrative I have not been able to determine which one it would be. Therefore as of this writing I do not know who my great-great Grandfather Martin was.
