Documentation:
* If children were named using old pattern, then my belief that parents of Francis Martin were John and Nancy Martin; parents of Ann were Thomas and Rhoda James.
* Francis Martin did remarry, Matilda James around 1834, but since they spent their time mostly in Jasper County and beyond, I will post elsewhere.
