I do not know of a connection yet to your George Martin but I am looking for the parents of William Martin of early Franklyn township, Jackson County Ohio. The children of William were (my line) Jesse Martin, born about 1788 and married November 04, 1814 in Scioto County Ohio to Margaret (Mary) Ann Bowen (family migrated to Tipton Indiana in 1842), John Martin born 1784 and married to Martha J Beaty, Prudence Martin married to Tapely White, Mary (Polly) Martin (unproven but considered likely), married to Andrew Fleming, Rebecca Martin born October 21, 1792 in Green Co, PA, married June 24, 1811 to Hugh Gillinland (Hugh was born October 23, 1782 in Greenbrier Co Virgina (current WV), Rachel Martin born about 1794 and married 1815 in Scioto or Jackson CO OH to Johnathan Trexler (the family migrated to Jasper County Illinois about 1852), Sarah Martin born July 06, 1780, married to Levi Mercer; March 20, 1800 and Sabre Martin born about 1804 married to Lewis Spriggs.
All of William's children lived in Jackson County Ohio.
A family bible that belonged to Jarred Jackson Martin (son of Jesse Martin) in Tipton Indiana lists the parents of Jesse Martin as William Martin and Elizabeth Patrick married 10//21//1768 in Greenbrair CO VA(Later West VA)
LDS has a William Martin married to Eliza Patrick Oct 02, 1788 in Greenbriar CO WV, Jarred's bible lists the parents of William as John Martin and Phobe Mercer.
My theory is that my Martin family in Jackson County OH came from a Quaker Martin line in early Chaster County PA.
The reason that I think they are still the same Martin line is because in Jackson CO Ohio, The Mercer, Sheward, Pyle and Sharples families are direct descendants of those original Quakers that were married to the Mercer/Martin family and are neighbors and intermarried into the Martin Family.
Let me know if this line could be yours.
