Thank you for your response.I know William Odle married Mary B Martin in 1842 in Phillips Co Ark.Both were born about 1820 and both in Ark. from what I can tell.
As to Thomas T Martin, he was the son of Joseph Martin of Albemarle Co Va. son of John Martin of Ballenger Creek Va. He is NOT THE Joseph Martin the hero.Nor is there a direct, close connection to that line.
Thomas was probably born in Tn between 1790 and 1800. The date approximation is due to Joseph's birth in 1772 based on his military record and death notices which prove yr.
Thomas T was listed as born in Tn due to census entries by his descendants. He was in Ark by 1814 or 1818.He settled on the river by Van Buren, lived in Fort Smith, Lovely Co. about 1828, and other areas. He married a Kiziah, possibly NA, Possibly in Ark, with last name of Bradley, due to her son's DC in Texas....probably about 1819 due to her age listed in census and birth yr about 1803 in SC. Her parents were listed as born in SC.
Thomas T's family (Joseph Martin)left Va about 1800 to remove to Ky or Tn with most records in Wilson Co Tn.Most had moved on to Ark by mid 1820s per land grants. Joseph was in business there by 1820.
Thomas and Kiziah moved to Red River Texas in 1837 and he was killed by Indians in 1842 but the family remained mostly in Texas and in 1900s some went to OK.Many of the Ark. Martins also moved to Texas but some remained in Ark.
There were Odles in the 1830 census in Phillips Co. and a marriage certificate in 1842 for Wm Odle and Mary B Martin.I was hoping to either find proof of Mary being one of Thomas's siblings or to disprove her connection to this family entirely.An odd thing about this family was that almost all of them had and used a middle name or initial in all their documents.With this Mary using her B. in her marriage, I thought maybe she was a sister to Thomas T., Wm. M. etc. There were 19 children but MOST of those lost on the list were the females.
I hope this helps clarify what I posted and my intent. If Thomas Tilman Martin has a sister who married Wm. Odle in 1842 in Phillips Co Ark., I would love to know that.
I have no other information about the Odles.It's a long shot and I was willing to throw it out there for help.
I know nothing else about the Odles except what I read on this forum.
