• Notes

  A Texas County, Missouri genealogical society book which included family biographies lists James Martin as the father of George Martin. According to the family biography; George Martin died in 1861. Another undocumented source has his death as 27 Sep 1860. Mary Martin paid back taxes for 1861 in a documented 1864 release of land deed; which supports the 27 September 1860 death date.  His wife Mary filed and was granted letters of adminstration in Henderson County, Texas in May of 1868. George first bought land in Henderson County, Texas in 1857; although he was known to have been in Texas by 1853. 1858-1860 land records lists him the owner 320 acres of land, with original owner as Reubin Jones and sometimes listed as Ben Jones. The land was located along Kickapoo stream. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89QS-4H21?cc=2016287 Henderson > Minutes 1847-1883 vol A-E > image 417 of 955 Letters of Administration granted to wife Mary in May 1868.  It appears his property was worth at least 2,000, the amount secured for administration of estate. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9QS-H3SQ?cc=2016287 Henderson > Final records 1845-1879 vol D and B1-B2 > image 18 of 59 George attested for the will of William Wreay in 1856.  This will was executed in 1862.
