His tombstone shows that he was a Mason, and was inscribed "Gone by not Forgotten." Kay Parker McCary shows him as a son of H. J. Powell and Nancy Ann Burch. However, CR Burkhead, on the FindAGrave memorial page he created, lists his parents as Richard Ealie Powell and Mary Ann Gay, and spouse of Margarette Elizabeth Martin.

Richard married Margaret "Marge" Elizabeth Martin on 14 Sep 1876 in Jasper County, Texas. Margaret (daughter of Thomas Jefferson Martin and Rebecca "Becky" Richardson) was born on 21 Nov 1862 in Brookeland, Sabine County, Texas; died on 7 Mar 1937 in Brookeland, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Brookeland Cemetery, Brookeland, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In her annotated transcription of the Brookeland Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary shows her as the wife of A. J. (???) Powell, but later shows her husband as Richard Benjamin Powell.

A J Powell was born 14 Mar 1855-died 7 Aug 1927. Did this listing of her husband as A J Powell perhaps relate to a second marriage for Margaret, or was it simply an error?

Notes:

Shown by some as having the middle name Franklin, versus Jefferson.

Said to have received Bounty Land, as did his father William Martin, for service in the Texas Revolution. (White and Toole, p 88).

The annotated transcription of the Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Sabine County indictates that T. J. Martin, 1819-1904, had a Military Marker reading Pvt Capt. Burroughs Co. CSA

Thomas married Rebecca "Becky" Richardson. Rebecca was born in Feb 1832 in Louisiana; died about 1907 in Texas; was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery (aka Whitehead Cemetery or Martin-Whitehead Cemetery), Pineland, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Virgie Collier Speights, in OLD TIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS, lists her last name both as Richardson (p. 46) and as Watkins (p. 54).

Notes:

Married:
In Virgie Collier Speights June 11, 1964 column about Rev. and Mrs. Bob Strickland, it is noted that Bob's maternal grandparents were "Tom and Beckie (Watkins--sic) MARTIN, and they have five sons and two daughters, Frank, Case, Lip, Jimmy, Ed, Marge and Harriet Ann, his mother" (Old Timer of Sabine County, Texas, p. 54).

The 1900 census showed that Rebecca had five children, four of whom were still living. Based on both the column referenced above, and the various census enumerations from 1850 through 1880, it appears she had at least the seven children listed above, and possibly one other son that may have died relatively young, Clinton (b. 1855). Perhaps the census information could be interpreted as Rebecca had a total of nine children....five deceased and four still living (or vice versa).
