I'm looking for the parents of my g-grandfather and as those of
you with a John Martin know, there are thousands.

John B. Martin b. 1847-49 Halifax, Va, d. 1932-37, I believe
in Reidsville, NC. Married Francis Setliff b. 1856 d. 1929
I believe he had at least one sister named Cora or Coral. I was
told by my father's cousin in NC that the B. was for Bucker but
have no way to verify that. I've searched the 1850 Halifax, VA
census but have found no John Martin the right age. It's possible
that his parents had moved or were from NC since that's where most
of the family settled. He apparently worked at a chair factory
in High Point, NC.

Children:
John Willie Martin b. 1886 (my grandfather)
Adolphus E. d. 1932
Belle (Nance)
Cora (Hubbard)
Betty (Stone)
Gertrude (Maynard)

Thanks for any help!
