Black III. Gov. Black instantly claimed kinship with them. Mr. Black has been married once and is the father of nine sons, all of them Democrats, among the number being County Attorney R. L.

He received a good common school education in youth, and assisted his parents on the home farm until the age of twenty-six years, since when he has been engaged in farming on his own responsibility. That his efforts have met with success is demonstrated by a well improved farm of 320 acres, which is well stocked, owned by Mr. Martin. He is one of the township's progressive and enterprising Republicans, and himself and wife are members of the Christian Church. January 1, 1850, he married Lucinda Goss, and the following named of their five children are yet living: America L., Gilbert P., Augustus W. and Oliver P. S. Enoch and Elizabeth (Davis) Martin, parents of the subject of this memoir, were natives of Kentucky, from whence they moved to Indiana in about 1820, locating on the farm now owned by Anderson Martin, their oldest son. They were honest and industrious people. ------------------------------ From: Diana Flynn Date: Sun, 21 Sep 1997 20:37:26 -0400 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Martin, Isaac H. s/o Martin, Stephen - Unknown Co MARTIN, HEISTAND, HAMILTON "HISTORY OF LAWRENCE, ORANGE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, INDIANA" GOODSPEED BROS. 1884 PIERCE TOWNSHIP, WASHINGTON COUNTY, INDIANA ISAAC H. MARTIN, a native of Jackson Township, this county, was born May 14, 1833, the third in a family of ten children born to Stephen and Nancy (Heistand) Martin, who were natives respectively of Kentucky and Virginia, and came to this State at an early day. Isaac received but little education, as such advantages were limited at that period. He remained on the home farm until he reached the age of twenty-four, when he married Candace S. Hamilton, and to the union the following children have been born: Lillie B., N. S., Carrie M., Virgil C., Homer and Merdella L. His occupation is principally buying and shipping stock, in which he deals quite extensively, also owning and carrying on a farm of 450 acres, in both of which pursuits he has been quite successful. In politics he is a Republican, and takes an active interest in the affairs of his party. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are members of the Christian Church. ------------------------------ From: Diana Flynn Date: Sun, 21 Sep 1997 21:57:36 -0400 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Shepherd, Ransom s/o Shepherd, Thomas & Nancy Hensley - Shelby Co SHEPHERD, HENSLEY, MARKLAND "HISTORY OF LAWRENCE, ORANGE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, INDIANA" GOODSPEED BROS. 1884 PIERCE TOWNSHIP, WASHINGTON COUNTY, INDIANA PAGE 897 RANSOM SHEPHERD, a son of Thomas and Nancy (Hensley) Shepherd, who came from their native State--Kentucky--to this county in 1813, locating on the farm now owned and occupied by our subject, was born June 7, 1836, and is the youngest of ten children. Here his parents passed through all the hardships and inconveniences of pioneer life, and where they finally died; Mr. Shepherd, October 9, 1867, and Mrs. Shepherd, September 21, 1882. Ransom's early years were passed in attending the common schools of the neighborhood, and, following in the footsteps of his father, has always made farming his occupation. In this he has been somewhat fortunate as he now owns 240 acres of good farming and grazing land. In politics he supports the Republican ticket, and in religion he and wife belong to the Christian Church. His marriage with Nancy C. Markland was solemnized November 8, 1860, and the Markland as well as the Shepherd family are among the oldest of Washington County. ------------------------------ From: "Polly A.
