I research MARTIN family only as it connects to wife of James Frank MARTIN, a former sheriff of HeCoTn. Wife of Sheriff J. Frank Martin was Julia ODLE. The mother of Julia ODLE is my primary research.

Parents of James Frank MARTIN:
Father: John Carson MARTIN b 07 Aug 1845 Lawrence CoTn;
died abt 21 Nov 1924 in Hinson Springs, HeCoTn
John Carson Martin was the
son of John B. and Mrs Winifred Martin.
