1822 - Yes, date unknown
Generation: 1
1. | Murdoch McDuffie Martin was born on 3 Dec 1822 in Quitman, Clarke County, Mississippi; and died. Notes:
The Martin and McLemore families of Clarke County, Mississippi appear to have had multiple connections.
Murdoch and Louisa's son, Alexander Martin, married Catherine Risher, whose mother was also a McLemore.
Murdoch's younger brother, Allen, married Eleanor Jane McLemore of Clarke County, Mississippi (parents not known). Additionally, Murdoch's half-brother, the only son of Norman Martin by his second wife, Eleanor Chapman, was Edwin Martin. Edwin married Mary Virginia "Jennie" McLemore of Lauderdale County, Mississippi (a daughter of Caleb Hill McLemore). Murdoch's wife, Louisa McLemore was a first cousin of Caleb Hill McLemore.
Sometime after 1900, the granddaughter of his wife's first cousin, Bama Matilda Grantham (a daughter of Agnes McLemore Grantham of Copiah County, MS) would marry Joseph Edgar Martin, also of Copiah County.

This MIGHT be the same Mary Martin, but should be verified.
