!BIOGRAPHY: One story of "Margaret" Martin has sifted through family tradition and that is th e story that Civil war soldiers had demanded blankets and were going to take or confiscate th em from her. Upon hearing the soldiers request she, Margaret told them that she had little o nes who needed the blankets, and then reached for a kitchen chair and held it up, saying, "i f you can get them, you can have them." The soldiers turned away leaving, and did not get he r blankets. In the above family traditon it is not known if the Civil war soldiers were "Uni on" or "Confederate" soldiers? We assume that during the Civil war, Margaret Martin, her son , daughters and grand - Children, must have lived together to protect themselves from bushwha ckers? Margaret said, "little ones," in the above family traditon so we must assume that "Ma rgaret" was refiring to her grand-children? As for Margaret Martin herself we do not know i f she favored the "Confederacy" or "Union" during the Civil war? The fact that her younges t daughter, Amanda "Mandy" Martin married a "Union" Soldier, Sergeant Major Samuel Dial, duri ng or right after the Civil war gives us the impression Margaret Martin might have favored th e "North." Most of Margaret's family started out having to fight for the "Confederacy" and l ater crossed lines, favoring and fighting for the "Union" towards the end of the Civil war . Sons-in-law, Francis Marion Sanders and Thomas M. Smith joined the "Confederate" Arkansa s 16th Regiment, while the rest of the family seemed to be inducted into the "Condederate" 10 th Malitia {Provisional Army}. Later in the war most of her sons-in-law crossed lines and jo ined the Arkansas "Union" 2nd Regiment. Both Francis Marion Sanders and Thomas M. Smith wer e sergeants in the Arkansas "Union" 2nd Regiment. Solomon P. Martin was an ex-brother-in-la w to Margaret Martin and Solomon was a private in the "Union" 2nd Regiment. Solomon P. Marti n's father-in-law, John Bean, was an out-right spoken "Union sympathizer" which probably cont ributed to the hanging of Solomon P. Martin by rebel bushwhackers on August 21, 1864. Margar et Martin's son-in-law, Sergeant Francis Marion Sanders was killed in front of his own family , in his own " door-yard" by rebel bushwhackers on December 31, 1863. It appears however tha t Margaret's oldest daughters husband, John Morgan Stewart, was a gunsmith & blacksmith durin g the Civil war with Col., Hill's Confederate Regiment from Clarksville, Arkansas. This is t he story that Delia Isabelle (Stewart) Moore told the Daughters of the Confederacy because he r application for membership to this group contained the information on her grandfather Joh n Morgan Stewart's Civil war record. Todate, having searched for John Morgan Stewarts Civi l war Military Records, no records can be found.

!BIOGRAPHY: It is believed that Orlando Martin, son of William Thomas Martin and Mary Ann (Be an) Martin, was back at the Martin Family Farm on Red Lick Mountain and in Red Lick Township , (farm being about 8 miles north of Clarksville, Arkansas), attending the funeral of his Mot her, Mary Ann (Bean) Martin, when he asked for the large picture we have of Margaret Martin . Orlando Martin, upon returning home to his farm which was in McIntoch County, Oklahoma , 4 miles north of the small town of Hanna, Oklahoma, hung the picture of Margaret Martin i n his bedroom. Mary Thelma (Martin) Moore Thomas, wanting her children to learn something o f her family would take her children to Oklahoma on summer vacations now and then. As a chil d I, Don Martin Thomas, remember seeing the picture of Margaret Martin in my Grand-father's b edroom. Since his bedroom was dark all the time and in those days they never smiled in thei r pictures, all of us grand-children used to think that she, Margaret Martin, was a witch. T he darkness of the bedroom and her scowling face picture seemed to make the room haunted an d left us with a neat childhood memory. Sometime later when my mother went to the farm by he rself, I asked her if she would ask Grandpa if I could have the picture of Margaret Martin ? I guess Mother had asked him because on another visit to the farm, my Grand-father said, " Mary, If Don still wants that Picture he can have it." My mother then brought the picture o f Margaret Martin back to Salt Lake City, Utah, on a Trailways Bus, reminding the Bus Drive r to not put any freight on it every time the bus would stop for passengers and freight. Eve n though I was a child I picked up on the fact that my grand-father, Orlando Martin, held hi s grand-mother, Margaret Martin, in the highest respect. Since my grand-father remembered se eiing her chop wood at two years of age and going by wagon to her funeral at three years of a ge, and since he held so much respect for his grand-mother, I surmised that he had been tol d and knew of his grand-mother's life history? I, Don Martin Thomas, have always been somewh at interested in history and decided at one time that I was going to find out why my grand-fa ther, had held so much respect for his grand-mother, Margaret Martin. I also had just spen t $300.00 dollars to restore the picture and original frame which gave me more of a fixatio n on her life and times. I wanted to know who she was and why only one extra large picture , when in those days there was usually a large picture of both the man and woman? I decide d to go after anything I could find about Margaret Martin and maybe this way I could compil e a history on her? In my attempt to gather historical information I put a query in the John son County Historical Society Journal which led to "Sue" Webb, Mrs. Maria Sue (Johnson) Web b of Clarksville, Arkansas answering the query, and countless correspondence between her an d myself about our mutual ancestry. To date, Volume, "Margaret" Martin, and Volume, "Margar et" Jones, of these Martin Documentation Histories of Margarette "Margaret" (Schrum) Jones Ma rtin and Edmund T. Martin, is a result of our wanting to know about Margaret Martin and the ( Martian or Martain or Martin) and Jones family lineage. - Information from the Martin Docume ntation Histories - Scott County Historical & Genealogical Society, P.O.

I hereby certify that I am Judge of the Probate Court having jurisdiction over Seb astian County, Arkansas, and that it has been shown to my satisfaction by affidavits that Edm on T.

!MAIDEN NAME: I, Don Martin Thomas, of Salt Lake City, Utah document that my mother, Mary The lma (Martin) Moore Thomas told me the maiden name of Margaret Martin and that it was "Schrum, " many years ago. In 1991 and after I had received Mrs. "Frances" Watson's, Mrs. Elizabeth F rances (Sharp) Watson's letter, I asked my mother if she had known that William Thomas Marti n had a half sister named, Sarah Ann "Sallie" (Jones) Stewart, and could this be where she ob tained her information? My mother stated that she knew nothing about a Sarah Ann "Sallie" (J ones) Stewart, or anything about William Thomas Maritn having a half sister? We must therefo re assume that she, Mary Thelma (Martin) Moore Thomas, got her information that "Schrum" is t he maiden name of Margaret Martin from her father, Orlando Maritn, or through her own famil y research? I have asked my mother several times where she found that information and she sa ys she can't remember? Since in my research I have not been able to find out where my mothe r obtained her information, that Margaret Martin's maiden name is Schrum, I am leaning in th e direction that my mother obtained the informatioin that Schrum was the maiden name of Marga ret Martin from her father, Orlando Martin? - Information from the Martin Documentation Histo ries, Volumes, "Margaret" Martin & "Margaret" Jones, published by the Scott County Arkansas H istorical & Genealogical Society.,
