Anyone need anything from the Harrisburg, PA area?

Classification: Query
Surnames: MARTIN, CLARK, LINN, DEAN
What an offer - posted on Valentine's Day yet!
I'll lead with the earliest recorded question: is there any information about Fanny (maiden name unknown) MARTIN b. 1756 d. 31 Mar 1822. Learning her family name and the given name of Mr. MARTIN, where they are buried, when they were married would be enormously helpful. Their only child, Thomas D. MARTIN b. 8 Apr 1796 d. 15 May 1823 - perhaps a birth/death record for him would show his father's name. Thomas m. Hannah CLARK (b. 1798 d. 27 Nov 1875) and they had one son, William Davison MARTIN b. 29 Jul 1820 d. 2 Mar 1896.
William Davison MARTIN (above) m. Eve A. FAUST 14 Mar 1843 and they maintained a tailor shop in Harrisburg for many years. One of their sons, my ancestor, John Hancock MARTIN b. 4 Jul 1850, married Mary Jeffries LINN (1850-1937) and was also a tailor in Harrisburg until they moved to Kansas City, Mo. about 1890. (I know nothing of the LINN family except that Mary's mother was a DEAN.)
Names and dates for my ancestors were taken from a family bible and I know little, if anything more, about the years in Harrisburg. I would be glad for any bit of information about them and appreciate your generous offer.
