John Martin

John Martin of Albemarle Co., VA has been a mystery for some time now. He had dealings with our Martin’s of Orange and Culpeper Counties, VA., was apparently married to Elizabeth Baker, sister of our Benjamin Martin’s wife, and some of his grandchildren married grandchildren of Henry “Harry” Martin, a brother of our Benjamin Martin. But definite proof has not yet been found to fit him into this family. If anyone reading this can help, please write to me at seastar55@earthlink.net! Thanks!
