    C. W. MARTIN was born near Madison in 1820, and has spent his entire life in
Madison county. In business he has been a farmer and merchant, in the last of
which he has been very successful.

    At the close of the late war he, like almost everybody else at the South,
was financially a wreck, but by close and persistent application to business, he
has retrieved his loss. He was a son of Richard and Lydia (Pitts) Martin, who
came from Virginia to Alabama about 1810.

    Richard Martin was a farmer, and served in the War of 1812. They had eleven
children, of whom but four are living. Two of their sons were in Ward's Battery
(Confederate States army), and both served through the war, spending a great
part of the time at Mobile.

    Mr. Martin was married, in 1849, to Miss Nannie Leeman, of Madison county,
and they have seven children living, of whom two are merchants, one is railroad
agent at Madison, and one a farmer in Limestone county. Mr. Martin is a member
of the Methodist church and a F. & A. M.
