MARTIN FAMILY STORIES
Daddy [ Will Massie Martin] has always said his father didn't say much about his family bu t I will tell what I have heard him tell.
Thomas Henry Martin had 2 bro[thers] Jack & Bill. The best I can figure Jack would b e John W. "Jack" Martin and Bill would be William Wilson "Bill" Martin.
Tom [ Thomas Henry "Tom" Martin] and Jack [ John W. "Jack" Martin] fought in the Civil war . Jack [John W. "Jack" Martin] came to visit in Floyd County & left his Civil war rifl e & Daddy played with it and tore it up. I have no record of either.
Bill [ William Wilson "Bill" Martin] owned land in Floyd County, Texas. N.E. of Floydada clos e to South Plains.
Tom [ Thomas Henry "Tom" Martin] had taken his boys, John [ John Millard Martin] & Wes [ Ma rion Wesley "Wes" Martin] to the store of his father in Arkansas. He [ John Miller Martin] t old Tom to "get them boys out of here before they tear something up."
There was never anything said about divorce between Tom [ Thomas Henry "Tom" Martin] & Meli ssa [Melissa Margaret ( Self) Martin], I had always assumed she had died maybe in a child bi rth as so many others did. There was a baby died & he had an extra thumb on one hand. To m [ Thomas Henry "Tom" Martin], Martha [Martha Elizabeth (Britt) Martin] & family moved to Te xas, maybe Brown County around 1885. It was always said John [John Millard Martin] & " Wes " [ Marion Wesley "Wes" Martin] lived with them.
They moved to Floyd County, Texas. around 1891. When Wes [ Marion Wesley "Wes" Martin] wa s about 16 yrs old his step - mother [Martha Elizabeth ( Britt) Martin] told him go feed th e horses and this made him mad so he went back to Arkansas. This would be about 1887 about t he time you found the "Guardian Bound" appointing Spencer Self guardian, Spencer was his m other’s brother.
Wes [ Marion Wesley "Wes" Martin] married Sallie Berry in Vernon, Texas 18 June 1891 . I have marriage license. The article I wrote about T.H. Martin was in the Floyd Co. Hes perian Floydada, Texas.
