Note:
According to the 1788 Southern Halifax Property Tax list, Jonathan is already at least 21 years old, assuming he had no older brothers. It would make his birth year at least 1767. The only source for his birth in 1769 was the 1850 Hall Co., GA, census, which was not always accurate. The date in the bible of Jonathan's son, John Martin, is considered to be a later entry based on the census record. No other sources are known.

Jonathan Martin was listed in the 1804 Qualified Voters list for Halifax Co., VA, and was not listed in Jackson Co., GA, tax indices for 1799, 1801, and 1804. Family history has it that Jonathan moved to Georgia around 1800, but it is possible he did not move to Jackson until later than first assumed. The early date appears to be based on a misreading of the book, "Gone To Georgia," where family members assumed it was detailing the census of 1800. The census detailed in the book was the 1820 census. There was no 1800 Hall County census.

By 1820, Jonathan's two oldest sons had moved, and his youngest son and daughter were not yet born. Jonathan lived in Jackson county at least two years after Hall county was established in 1818. In 1820, Jonathan lived five houses down from Samuel Martin (who possibly had a daughter Sarah, who married Alexander). In 1815, Samuel witnessed Jonathan's deed of Halifax land to Benjamin True.

Jonathan's page from the 1830 Census is an interesting shapshot of close families that had, and would, marry: eight doors into the page lives Willis Barton, next door to Jonathan; two doors up from Neverson Cook, who lives three door up from James Hardage; who lives three doors away from Jacob Cagle; near the bottom of the page is Charles and Addler Hulsey Jr. (possibly related to Tempy); and at the bottom of the page Joseph Cagle.

Peter married Mary Finn and moved to Forsyth Co., Ga., and Alexander married Sarah Martin and moved to what became Murray Co., Ga. Delilah married John Hogan and moved to Jackson, then to Illinois. Nancy married Henry Culpepper and moved to the part of Cherokee Co. that would become Cobb Co., then to Lauderdale Co., MI. Margaret married Willis Barton and moved to Winston County, AL, in 1860 due to the approaching Civil War. Harriett didn't marry until 1840, Solomon until 1845, and Joseph until 1847.

Jonathan and Nancy are close to death, and are living with their youngest daugther Harriett and her family. Harriett married Andrew Grier in 1840, and Solomon married Elizabeth Hix in 1845. Harriet stayed in the area, but Solomon moved to Winston County, AL, in 1860 due possibly to the approaching Civil War. After the war, Solomon's family returned to Hall Co., but Solomon dies in 1869. Joseph Marion married Elizabeth Cagle in 1847, and appears to have stayed in the area.
