Zachariah Martin.....1790 Prince Fredericks Parish

On 11 Apr 1806, a James Martin of Marion District, SC wrote his Last Will and Testament, naming "Wench Rosa" (apparently his wife (or live-in whatever)and several brothers and sisters: Ann (m. Miller); David; John; Mary; Sarah; Thomas; and Elias. To each he left twenty-five cents. Either the fellow had a sense of humor, or he only had $1.75 to leave his seven heirs.
As you can see, several of these names match up with those you list from Prince George's Parish. I have been looking at the descendants of Elias Martin. He had a son named Moses, b. abt.(very about) 1780 Marion County. He married a Shelley (a surname, I think). They had several children: Elias, Joseph, Matthew, Elizabeth, Verina, and Mary.
All these folks probably belong to the same line of the Martin family. Many of their descendants still live in Marion County. In fact, my mother-in-law was once married to one, the late Clyde Walker Martin, a descendant of Elias>Moses etc.. Perhaps we should get together for an e-mail chat sometime.
