Descendants of Thomas J. Martin - Patrick County, Virginia Generation No. 1 1. THOMAS J.1 MARTIN1 was born Abt. 1802 in Bedford Co., VA1. He married MARY EMILY ELLIS1 October 15, 1837 in Bedford Co., VA2, daughter of BENJAMIN ELLIS and TELLITHA MITCHELL. She was born Abt. 1813 in Bedford Co., VA3. Notes for THOMAS J. MARTIN: Thomas Martin, born about 1802, married Emily Ellis 15 Oct 1837 in Bedford Co., VA. According to the 1840 Federal Census, Thomas and Emily were born in Bedford Co.,VA and lived there at the time of their marriage. These records reveal Thomas and Emily's oldest child, James Ausband Martin, was born in Bedford Co.,VA in 1838. The family moved to Patrick Co., VA about 1844. Bedford Co., VA Deed Book # 30, page 451 reveals a Deed of Trust from Thomas Martin to Maridith (Meredith) Ashwell and Benjamin C. Ellis for his personal property for three bonds, $95.00 on 5 May 1842, $87.00 on 2 Oct 1842 and $65.00 on 1 Jan 1843. (These two men were Thomas' brothers- in-law) Bedford Co., VA Deed Book # 31, page 11 notes the personal property of Thomas Martin was ordered to be sold 30 Dec 1843 to satisfy the Deed of Trust. This sale took place on 30 Dec 1843 and a list of sales was presented to the Bedford County Court on 22 Jan 1844 by Maridith Ashwell, Trustee of Thomas Martin. All the personal property of Thomas and Emily was sold for $89.56. The list was itemized, denoting what each item brought at the sale, such as $3.50 for a black walnut blanket chest. It is believed Thomas and Emily moved to Patrick Co., VA to be near her brother, John Ellis who lived there with his family. A descendant of Meredith and Sarah Ellis Ashwell told me in 1991 that Thomas, Meredith and Benjamin were all gamblers and that the money Thomas had borrowed from them was for a gambling debt. This story had been handed down in his family for years. The 1850 Federal Census showsThomas and Emily living in Patrick Co., VA with five of their six children. Thomas and Emily did not show up on any 1860 census of VA or nearby NC counties. We know Emily was living in 1852 as their youngest child, Susan was born then. Children of THOMAS MARTIN and MARY ELLIS are: 2. i. JAMES AUSBAND2 MARTIN, b. 1838, Bedford Co., VA; d. October 18, 1915, Forsyth Co., NC. 3. ii. ADALINE MARTIN, b. 1842, Bedford Co., VA. iii.

JAMES AUSBAND2 MARTIN (THOMAS J.1)5,6 was born 1838 in Bedford Co., VA6, and died October 18, 1915 in Forsyth Co., NC. He married MARY REBECCA MOOREFIELD7 March 05, 1866 in Stokes Co., NC8, daughter of WRIGHT MOOREFIELD and JANE MARTIN. She was born Abt. 1841 in Patrick Co., VA9, and died May 30, 1891 in Stokes Co., NC10. Notes for JAMES AUSBAND MARTIN: James Ausband Martin served in the Civil War. His war records show the following information: At the time of his enlistment he had been residing in Stokes Co., NC as a farmer. He enlisted at Danbury, NC 20 Mar 1l862 as Private with Company G., NC 53rd Regiment. The men in Co. G of the 53rd Regiment were known as "The Mountain Grays." His description was given as dark complexion, dark hair and eyes, and his height was 5'7". Roll of Honor gives same data showing his status of enlistment as volunteer with age of 27. National Archives in Washington, DC show his enlistment age at 22/27. This could explain why his military grave marker shows his birth date as 1835 instead of l838. His prisoner of war records show he was captured at Gettysburg on 3 Jul 1863, confined at Fort McHenry, MD for a brief time; transferred to Fort Delaware, DE 9 Jul 1863, arriving there on or about 12 Jul 1863. Civil War History records produce evidence that James was one of one hundred and five men from the NC 53rd Regiment to survive the July 3rd battle at Gettysburg, PA. He was one of thirty-four men able to walk to prison. The other seventy-one were wounded and had to be transported by wagon. According to Civil War historians, Fort Delaware was one of the worst prisons for a confederate soldier to find himself in. One of every four prisoners died and all the prisoners suffered from the severe cold weather, the dampness, dysentery, fevers, lice and a host of other ailments. James must have been a very strong man to have endured his imprisonment. He was released 19 Jun 1865. His name appears as signature (his mark) to Oath of Allegiance, subscribed to at Fort Delaware, DE. After the war, James returned to Stokes Co., NC and married Mary Rebecca Moorefield Boaz on 5 Mar 1866. She was the widow of Robert Boaz, who was killed during the Civil War. The 1880 Federal Census of Stokes Co., NC shows James, his wife Rebecca and their five children living in the Peters Creek Township. This area is near the VA/NC state line. The 1900 Federal Census of Stokes Co., NC shows James as a widower, living with his son, William R. and his sister, Susie Martin Frye. Susie was a widow and she and two of her children, Agnes and Robert L. Frye lived with James at this time. They were living in the west division of the Sauratown Township of Stokes Co., NC. In his later years, James lived with his son, William R. Martin, in Tobaccoville, NC. When he died, he was carried by horse and wagon approximately thirty miles back to Walnut Cove, NC to be buried beside his beloved Rebecca.

Notes for STELLA IRENE COINS: When Stella Coins became ill in 1934, some of the family thought she had a stomach virus. Finally realizing something else must be terribly wrong, her parents took her to the hospital where they learned she had appendicitus. By the time they did the surgery on her, the appendix had ruptured and she died from infection. Some of the family think the doctor waited too long to operate because the family was poor. Her mother begged the doctor to operate, telling them that in the fall she would pay him and the hospital the money from their tobacco crop. xiii. HAROLD THOMAS COINS104, b.

Martin grew up in Tobaccoville, NC, where he remembers a very happy childhood. Rolling a wheel and guiding it with a stiff wire could whittle away the hours of a long summer afternoon. But he soon grew up and had to help work on the farm. His father had died about a month before Paul was nine years old and he has fond memories of his father as he sat in the warmth of his lap in the mornings listening to his mother prepare breakfast. He recalls in the evenings when his father would pop corn over the flames in the fireplace. He was already married with two children when his mother died, but his feeling of loss was very great. She had carried the role of both parents in his life for so many years. When Paul left home to find a job, he chose his occupation due to availability and stayed with his job at Western Electric until he retired thirty-five years later. He was drafted into the Korean War on 25 Oct 1950. He left Tobaccoville for Fort Jackson,SC, was processed into the Army there and ten days later was sent to Camp Polk, LA on a troop train. He took basic training at Camp Polk, LA and by 1 Apr 1951 the Thunderbirds were on the high seas - destination Hokkaido, Japan. The convoy moved across the Gulf of Mexico into the Caribbean and through the Panama Canal. From the Canal Zone, some ships struck directly across the Pacific, while others, like the "General William Wiegle", swung north, stopping briefly at San Francisco. Paul was on this ship. After landing at Muroran on Hokkaido, the cold, northermost island of Japan, the 45th Division was moved by train to Chitose and Camp Crawford. Here in Camp Crawford Paul and his buddies were put through an intense training program. By fall, winter camps were completed and the Thunderbirds moved out of the tents and into buildings erected at Chitose. The Division completed its regular cycle of combat training and undertook an intensified program of exercises in landing, air transport and small arms fire. With completion of this phase of training, Paul and his buddies were given short leaves. Noboriebetsu, Japan was a popular site for relaxation and rest and Paul has some great memories of leave time spent there. In November, the Division was ordered to Korea. As each unit moved up, it received cold weather instructions, advice from the outgoing troops and then "faced the front" in freezing cold weather under clear skies. On 22 Dec 1951, Paul left Hokkaido, Japan for Korea, arriving on 30 Dec 1951, landing at Inchon. He traveled to the front line on an old train that had all the windows shot out. The temperature was 20 degrees below zero. He stayed in Korea, serving as a Sergeant in the Medical Detachment of the 45th Division, 120th Combat Engineers Battallion as a medic until 10 Jul 1952, when he left for Sasebo, Japan. He left Sasebo, Japon on the "General Black" landing in San Francisco, CA at the end of Jul 1952. The guys were met by the ever loyal Red Cross with coffee, doughnuts and off in the distance, out of sight and hearing was Betty Hutton to entertain the returning troops. He flew from there to Fort Jackson,SC, took a thirty day leave, came home and bought a new 1952 Ford. He received his separation papers on 25 Sep 1952. In October of 1952, he returned to work at Western Electric Company in Winston-Salem, NC. It was here that he met his wife, Jo. They met in January of 1954 and were married 30 Apr 1954 in York, SC. Paul and Jo began saving and planning to build a home and in July of 1959 they moved with their two children into a new home at 4965 Hauser Drive in Pfafftown, NC. Paul retired from Western Electric Company in 1982 and that summer he and Jo took a trip to Hawaai. After Jo retired they spent the next nine years traveling all over the US and Canada. In September of 1993, Paul suffered a stroke. After his remarkable recovery, he and Jo sold their home in Pfafftown and moved to Wilmington, NC, living there until July of 1996, when they moved to their present home at 155 Preston Downs Way in Winston-Salem, NC. As others search for their roots, Paul would like them to know he lived, loved and enjoyed the laughter of life. Notes for MARY JO JACKSON: Mary Jo Jackson began school at Sandy Ridge, NC, moved from there to Lawsonville, NC, from there to Germanton, NC on to Winston-Salem, NC, back to Westfield, NC and then to Nancy Reynolds High School in the Brown Mtn. Community of Stokes Co.,NC. As my father worked for the NC State Highway Dept. he was kept moving his family around a lot. He bought a farm in Stokes Co., NC in 1945 and life was never the same for me. When my father had worked at what we called in those days, "public work", I had a pretty good life. Money was a little more plentiful - but when he began farming, any extra money always had to be saved "just in case". Our log home on the farm was a big let down from the other homes we had lived in but I soon became adjusted. Our home was cool in the summer and also cool in the winter. It was heated by wood stoves. My sister and I slept upstairs and I can remember getting up on cold mornings and running downstairs to dress by the wood stove. i recall my mother heating black pressing irons on the stove, wrapping them in towels and putting them at the foot of our beds to make us more comfortable. We had to wind our water from a well. We had no indoor plumbing, which meant you normally did not drink a lot before going to bed at night. We raised our food in gardens and my mother canned most of what we ate in the winter. The only things we bought from the store were flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, pepper and lots of Karo syrup. My father loved that syrup with hot biscuits and butter. My mother was known for her delicious biscuits, we would load them up with fresh butter and Karo syrup and kings never ate food so fine. I did not like farm life. Perhaps I never would have liked it, but I always thought it was because we only began farming after I reached the age when girls start thinking about being a girl and how they look to others. It was hard ot work on a farm and still feel feminine. Milking a cow in the mornings before going to school was terrible. I could not get the scent of that warm milk from my hands. To make extra money I worked in the school office, and in the homes of some of my teachers. I didbabysitting jobs, ironed clothes, strung tobacco for neighboring farmers, etc. These were the days prior to "allowances." Much of my money was spent on a cheap perfume named "Evening in Paris" with which I tried to eliminate the smell of cows and the gum off the tobacco. There were many things that caused me to dream of a world that did not include tobacco, sweat, dirt, mules, cows and horses. To this day, I have a hard time realizing that people actually pay money to ride a horse. We had a tobacco field near a dirt (unpaved) road and when we were working in the field, people would drive up the road in cars and dust would come out over the field and pour onto our sweaty bodies. This fostered another dream of mine, I would leave the farm, make enough money to buy a car and come back and ride up and down the road, blowing dust on someone else. To my regret, the road was paved long before I bought a car. I was a cheerleader in high school and this was a most rewarding thing for me. It gave me the opportunity to get away from our community and see how others lived. Expecially when our teams played basketball in the "Journal and Sentinel Tournaments, held in Winston-Salem, NC. At these tournaments, I met city girls and marveled at their poise and self-assurance. Between my junior and senior year in high school, my father and I worked on weekends at Hanging Rock State Park. This was my first taste of having a "real" salary. Ten dollars a day! I loved it! I knew farm life was not for me, so when I graduated, knowing there was not enough money for me to go to Appalachian College in Boone, NC, I moved to Winston-Salem, NC to attend Draughon's Business College. I graduated from there, eventually ending up working at Western Electric Company where I met Paul R. Martin. He had the whitest teeth, prettiest brown eyes and softest smile. Need I say more. We married, had two children, the house mortgage, etc., but always had fun. Our children grew up, went out on their own and Paul and I began to travel. We visited all of the states in the US and all of the Canadian Provinces. Sadly, on 21 Sep 1993, Paul suffered a stroke. We sold our home, moved into an apartment in Wilmington, NC near the NC coast so that he could have a more restful atmosphere to live in. Thankfully, he made a remarkable recovery, gaining back most of his strength. Prior to Paul's stroke, I had become quite involved with genealogical research. I located many of our ancestors in my search, but after moving into an apartment, I realized I no longer had the space nor the inclination to continue this hobby. It seemed my priorities had changed with the years and I wanted to spend more time just being and not always doing. In 1996 when we moved back to Winston-Salem, to live in the small, handicapped friendly home we had built, I knew I would be getting back to this hobby of genealogy that I enjoy so much. In 1998 I purchased a computer and am enjoying the "new way" to search for my ancestors. It is because of my genealogical research that I have written this brief story of my life. I hope I have not lived in vain. I hope that along the way I have had some impact on others that proved a blessing for them. I hope that one hundred years from now someone will enjoy reading about me and the fact that I did laugh, love and live life to the fullest. Children of PAUL MARTIN and MARY JACKSON are: i.
