For several years now I have puzzled over what MARTIN family my
great-great-grandmother could belong too...?? Does anyone have an empty
space in their family charts...from the area could be Gwinnett, Forsyth,
Hall County Martin's or where ever I suppose.

I also can not find the Benjamin MARTIN mentioned below.

Hanie family time line: 1840 Gwinnett Co. Ga; B.F. Hanie mentioned in
History of Forsyth Co., Ga as a young pioneer doctor; not found 1850;
area of Pickens Co., Ga. circa 1858; soon after Civil War removed to
Hall Co., Ga...where they stayed until their deaths. [note: I also do
not know B.F. Hanie's parents.]

Thanks for any Ideas!!

Margaret Elizabeth MARTIN married the 24th day of March 1839 in Gwinnett
County, Georgia to Benjamin Franklin HANIE

'Elizabeth' was born ca December 1822 in Georgia, according to census
data. It is unknown who her parents were, but census data gives their
birth place as being Georgia.

In 1893, when Elizabeth applied for a widows pension, for Benjamin's
service in the Florida-Indian War, their marriage was attested to as
being performed at the above time and place, by Henry Srickland of
Duluth, Georgia, and by a Benjamn F. MARTIN, both stating as being
present at the wedding.

Benjamin 'Hanie' and Elizabeth 'Martin' were married, accordig to the
pension applcation, by James Baxter, J.P., who was deceased by the time
of Elizabeth's application (1893), according to Mr. Baxter's son.

Who the Benjamin F. MARTIN was is still unknown. Surely a relative?
