I am searching for the family of my gggrandfather,William Martin. Nothing
more is known about him other than what is listed here.

William MARTIN was born March 24, 1818, in NC. On 9 July 1840 in Forsyth
County, GA he married Letta PRUITT, b. March 11, 1826, in SC; daughter of
Washington Hale PRUITT and Martha Zelphina EARLY (SC>Forsyth County, GA).

William and Letta's children:
Sarah Ann MARTIN 1842
Nancy Matilda MARTIN 1845
Jane MARTIN 4 Oct 1846 married W. J. CHEEK
John Wesley MARTIN 1851 married Mary WILSON
Levi MARTIN 1853 never married
Henry MARTIN 1856 married Sara Ellen Waters <?>
Ezekiel Pinkston MARTIN 1858 married Drucilla Adeline CLACK
Margarett Adeline MARTIN 1860

They are in Lumpkin County, GA for the 1850 Census though it is believed
Ezekiel P. MARTIN was born in Forsyth County in 1858. Just two weeks before
William died in 1860, all of his children but Sarah were living at the family
home according to the 1860 U. S. Census Roll # 125, Georgia, Vol. 7 (451-953)
Auburn, Gwinnett County, Dist. 562, dated 11 Jun 1860. William MARTIN's
widow, Lettie PRUITT Martin married (2) Ezekiel HARVEY (1815 -1897) in March
1863 and had several more children. They also resided in Gwinnett County, GA
until their death.

Would love more information!
