Carol.....I have no Martin records to help you. Sorry. Maybe you can
help me. There is a marriage record of a Catherine Martin who married
a Jacob Lehman in a Trinity Lutheran church in Lancaster,Pa., in 1787
or 1789. Do you have records of her or her family? Jacob's family had
been Mennonites but moved to the Church of the Brethren prior to 1800,
I think. Could Catherine have been a Lutheran?
