My grandfather was James F. G. MARTIN. I have found him on the 1880 Lamar Co. census with his parents. He was 21 on this census. It lists his parents as James F. MARTIN age 66 and Laura MARTIN age 60 and there is a granddaughter to James F. and Laura listed, Annie MITCHELL age 12. I see there is a James F. and Laura MARTIN buried in the Sylvan Cemetery near or in Paris,TX. Does any one know if this is possibly the same James F. and Laura? If so, these would be my greatgrandparents and I would love to connect with any other family out there.
I know very little about my Martin connections. My father was William born in Calvin, I.T. Oklahoma, Oct. 1, 1899 to James F.G. MARTIN and "Sis" Gray MARTIN. Not sure when they left TX. My grandfather was married before the marriage to my grandmother. His children by that marriage were born at Paris, TX - John 1885 and Lucy 1890. Don't know the name of their mother. There was another son named James G. MARTIN, but am told he was adopted by my grandfather, his birth father was possibly a MOORE.
Thanks in advance!
