Sharon,

I really appreciate your posting the Absalum Martin information. It's very
helpful since I don't have easy access to a genealogy library. Got to spend
about an hour in the Hall County Library recently and it was great. I'm
hoping to get back to the Hall and Forsyth area soon. I have gotten lots of
information from the Forsyth County site. Again, thanks to you, and all the
other dedicated researchers as well.
