which may [or may not have] have included Agatha McCAW HUFF / HOFF [w/o Jonathan], 1773-1830.

The Last Will and Testament, 15 Aug 1807, of John HAVIS, of Fairfield District, SC enumerates
grandchildren...."....Susannah Martin, Mary Martin, and Elisabeth MARTIN...." --interested in exploring further the relationship of these three granddaughters: Susannah, Mary and Elisabeth MARTIN to Reverend William MARTIN, if any relationships exists....
