    Note:
    [Much of the information on Hall County descendants and in-laws of Rev. John Martin was provided by Nell Crowe, Atlanta, ndcrowe@charter.net, and a good bit of information on Rev. John's Habersham county descendants was provided by Bernie Martin, Orlando, bmartin@uesorl.com. The rest is research primarily from correspondence, census, marriage and court records]
    
    John Martin's Family Bible was at one time in the possession of Roy J. Martin in Interlocken, Florida, who died in 1965. It was turned over to the Georgia DAR. It listed John's birth and death dates as June 12, 1808, unlike the official record. It listed Matilda's birth and death dates as May 4, 1810, and February 20, 1883, unlike the official record. It also listed Jonathan Martin Sr.'s wife as Ann Webb, the source of decades of confusion. Matilda's mother was Hettie Webb Goode, and her namesake seems to have been Hettie Ann Martin. It's possible a later generation confused the name of Matilda's mother with John's mother when entering it in the Bible. Copies of pages from this Bible, placed in the Ga. Archives by the DAR, is also the only known source of Jonathan Sr.'s middle name, Edward.
    
    
    Before John and Matilda married in 1833, John was included as offspring on Johnathan Sr.'s census entries. In 1840, John is listed as living in Hall County, Ga., census in the 403rd District on page 181.
    
    John and Matilda do not appear in the 1850 census, but John is listed with his brothers in the 1853 Hall County, Ga., Tax List.
