Another possible connection between the 2 Martin lines in Wilkes Co., NC (I think):
John Martin (John/Isaac) m. Elizabeth Green
Their children:
1. John Martin b. 1786 (who m. Diana Martin (d/o Benjamin Martin & Diana Harrison - the other Martin line))
2. William Martin
3. Thomas Martin
4. Sallie Martin
5. Fanny Martin (m. Benjamin Harrison Martin -- from my previous post)
6. Isaac Martin who m. Nancy Martin (don't know where she fits in this Martin mess!)
This Isaac Martin and Nancy Martin had the following children:
1. John Martin
2. Nathaniel Green Martin
3. Thomas Martin
4. Nancy Diana Martin
5. Elizabeth "Betsy" Martin who m. Benjamin Oliver Hazard Perry Martin -- s/o Col. James & Elvira Bryan Martin from the "other" line -- (Pierre/Henry/Benjamin/James).
Elizabeth "Betsy" Martin's & Benjamin O.H.P. Martin's children are:
1. Isaac Newton b. 1839
2. Nancy Elvira b. 1841
3. Elkanah b. 1843
4. Felix b. 1845
5. James Oliver b. 1837
These 5 children were named in their grandfather Isaac's will.
So, from above I count 3 connections between the 2 Martin lines in Wilkes Co.They are:
1. Benjamin4 Harrison Martin (Pierre1/Henry2/Benjamin3) m.
Frances4 "Fanny" Martin (John1/Isaac2/John3)
2. Diana4 Martin (Pierre1/Henry2/Benjamin3) m. John4 Martin (John1/Isaac2/John3)
3. Benjamin5 Oliver Hazard Perry Martin (Pierre1/Henry2/Benjamin3/James4) m. Elizabeth5 "Betsy" Martin (John1/Isaac2/John3/Isaac4)
Does this make sense?Is it accurate?Please correct if necessary...
