I have wondered about the two Jacobs being father and son. The elder Jacob
was born in 1777 (if my addition from the census records is correct), and my
Jacob was born in 1806. I did notice that in the census of 1830 only my Jacob
is listed in Carroll County. The older Jacob was there in 1840. John Martin's
will of 1825 does not tell where his children are, so the elder Jacob could
have come to Carroll County after John died. Just another "Martin mystery".
Let me know if you turn up anything of interest. Knox
The South is a land that has known sorrows; it is a land that has broken the
ashen crust and moistened it with tears; a land scarred and riven by the
plowshare of war and billowed with the graves of her dead; but a land of
legend, a land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories. To that land
every drop of my blood, every fiber of my being, every pulsation of my heart,
is consecrated forever. I was born of her womb; I was nurtured at her breast;
and when my last hour shall come, I pray God that I may be pillowed upon her
bosom and rocked to sleep within her tender encircling arms. Edward Carmack
