He was president of a college and I am trying now to find out what demonation this college was. I have called the town, but no one is aware of this early 1800 college even existing. It would be wonderful if you could help me. Here is everything I know about this man-- Carlisle P. B. Martin was a minister and President of the Synodical Female College in Griffin, Ga. He married Margaret Forrester Little on 12 June 1834 in Mount Zion Church in Hancock Co., Ga. They were married by the Rev. Dr. Brown. At the time of their marriage Rev. Martin was a resident of Putman Co., Ga. By the early part of the 1840s, the Martins had moved to Baldwin Co., Ga., and he was listed on the 1850 census as a school teacher. Sometime after the 1850s. he was referred to as the President of the Synodical Female College in Griffin, Ga. Carlisle's wife Margaret must have died sometime between 1850 and 1854, as Rev. Martin married Miss Eliza J. Rees, daughter of Jordan Rees, Esq. of Meriwether Co., Ga. on 1 March 1854. In 1849, Rev. Martin was appointed by the Ga. Gov to the "Board of Visitors" of Franklin College. These "visitors" were to attend the examination of the classes of Franklin College on Tuesday the 19th of June, 1849. At this time, Rev. Martin's residence was referred to as Milledgeville. In the February term of 1851, Rev Martin was appointed to the Baldwin Superior Court. Not much is known about Carlisle Martin's Vermont family. This particular Martin family and maybe other, moved about often and because of this, they have been hard to locate on the census. Carlisle and his wife's death dates are unknown, as well as his place of death. Sources: 1850 Baldwin Co. census records Baldwin Co., Ga.

Zion was a Baptist church, but I know of a Methoidat Church called the same thing in NC, so I can't be sure that this Mt.Zion is Baptist until I hear from the library in Milledgeville. Thanks for your interest. You are the only reply to my query in either Ga. or VT.
