Joseph Martin – He was born in 1758 in Rodes, France and enlisted in the 
French Troops under Count D’Estaing, sailed from Brett and on the way across 
had an engagement with a British Fleet. They were four or five months in 
coming over and landed near Savannah, GA and was in the battle there. Soon 
after this, he left the French Troops and went to Southampton, VA. He alleged 
that in 1781 he served seven months as a spy in a company of Light Horse under 
Colonel Blount. He applied for pension October 2, 1832 while a resident of 
Wayne County, NC but the claim was not allowed as it was unsupported by any 
evidence of service. He died about 1835 leaving a widow Telitha, her maiden 
name is not stated, nor is the date of their marriage given. She was living in 
Goldsboro in 1852 and died in 1859 leaving children, no names given.
