Catherine MacDonald mar. Howell Harris Martin
Surnames: Martin Bethune Myrick Harris Pemberton Parker McAuley Stanback Howell Dunn Kilpatrick Denton MacLeod Campbell MacDonald
I am hunting for information on the following MARTIN ancestors and
relatives from the areas in and around Moore and Montgomery counties
in North Carolina. Catherine or Katherine McDonald or MacDonald married Howell Harris Martin. I have a little more information (ancestors and siblings of Murdock Martin and more on the descendents of Atlas Jones Martin) on some of these
families, but I was afraid my post was getting too long! If anyone has
any questions or anything to add or correct, please let me know. I
would love to hear from you if you are connected to this family!
Thanks. Fredreica [email protected]
I. Murdoch or Murdock MARTIN, b. Abt. 1759, Isle of Skye, Scotland;
d. 1824, Moore Co, NC., son of John MARTIN (Capt.) and Marion "Sarah"
MACLEOD. He married
Flora BETHUNE, daughter of Angus BETHUNE and Christian CAMPBELL. She
was born 1765 in Isle of Skye, Scotland, and died December 24, 1840 in
Moore Co, NC. Christian Campbell's parents were Donald Campbell of Scalpay and Katherine MacDonald. The children I have found were:

A. John Bethune MARTIN, b. Abt. 1791, Moore County, NC; removed to
Holly Springs, Marshall Co., MS, bef. 1840; d. Aft. 1850, Monroe,
Ouachita Parish, LA, while living with his daughter Mary Bethune
Martin, wife of Robert Dortch. He married
(1) UNKNOWN. He married (2) NANCY HILL HARRIS August 24, 1824 in
Montgomery Co, NC, daughter of ARTHUR HARRIS and MARY MYRICK. She
was born 1795 in Montgomery Co, NC, and died March 16, 1844. John B.
Martin was Clerk of County Court for Montgomery County (at
Lawrenceville) before he moved to Mississippi to farm.

Carolina; d. May 25, 1908, Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. Married
Harriot or Harriett Shields, daughter of John Shields of Moore Co., NC
and Elizabeth Pauling of Orange, SC. I have much information on their
descendents.
2. Alexander Farquhar or Ferquard Martin died Of Yellow Fever at
Mazatlan while
on his way to Mexico.
3. Margaret Harris Martin was born 1826, died 1898 and married
General
Jesse Johnson Finley or Finlay 20 Nov 1845 in Marshall County,MS. He
was a very inportant man of the time so there is much information on
him on the internet. He is buried at the Evergreen Cemetery which, I
believe, is in or near Gainesville, Fla. Their children were:
a. Emily born 1846, died in infancy
b. Arthur born 1847, died in infancy
c. Charles Alexander Martin, born April 22, 1849 in Mariana, Florida,
died about
1928 and married Arabella Moncrief in April 1873.
Notes for GEN. Jesse J. Findley from pp. 46-47 THE FAMILY by Daniel
Allan McDonald: He was a hero of three wars: The Mexican; The Seminole
and the
Civial War. He was a judge and Congressman who is probably
remembered more for another reason than his military exploits.
He
introduced a bill into congress to reduce letter postage from
three to
two cents.
