Comment by jan moore on January 25, 2013 at 2:49pm: 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.

Comment by Prussian MARTIN on June 28, 2012 at 5:57am: 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.

Comment by John Keady on December 6, 2011 at 1:57pm: 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.

Comment by JOHN J YOUNG on December 4, 2011 at 4:32am: 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.

Comment by Fran Ellsworth on October 31, 2011 at 6:59pm: 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.

Comment by Melissa Malin on September 15, 2011 at 1:10pm: 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!

Comment by Melissa Malin on March 4, 2011 at 10:39am: 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.

Comment by September McCarthy on March 3, 2011 at 5:22pm: 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.
