James Alfred Charles Martin is referred to as Jim in some records. The most common order of his four names appears as James A C Martin. His obituary in the Weatherford Democrat in 1942 had his name as James Charles Alfred Martin, while in Alex, Oklahoma, where he had lived for many years, the newspaper referred to him as James Alfred Martin, as did his Oklahoma death certificate. In our ongoing email discussion of these families, one of my cousins researching these and related Green families contributed this note: "The 1880 Census for Parker Co. Tx has James Alfred Charles Martin age 7 as a resident, head of household Alfred Mathew Martin. This would indicate Nancy Elizabeth-Jackson-Unknown Yeary-Martin was in Parker Co. area at the time of her marriage to James Alfred Charles Martin. To date no record of marriage or burial has been found in or around Parker Co. Texas. He died in Oklahoma City in 1942 based on family data from Linda Hanks." [A copy of the marriage license was provided to Marion by another cousin and Green family researcher Linda Martin Hanks Bussell in July 2015] -- Marion L Mixon, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 16 July 2008 Marion also includes in his family genealogy, from family sources, the birth of James A C Martin in Montague County, Texas (on the Red River): "JAMES ALFRED CHARLES MARTIN was born 13 Jul 1871 in Montague Co TX, and died 10 Jun 1942 in OK City OK. He married NANCY ELIZABETH JACKSON Abt. 1895 in TX, daughter of ABRAHAM JACKSON and TELITHIA GREEN. She was born 19 Oct 1863 in Cooke CO TX, and died 27 Jul 1914 in Parker Co TX". -- Marion L Mixon, Bearden-Langston Genealogy, conveyed privately In 1880 James and his parents were enumerated in Parker County, where family history revolves for them in later generations. For some reason, the enumerator lists the relationship of everyone in the household as Son, including A M's wife Lovy and all the girls! Also he has reversed the birth states for mother and father of the children! 1880 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 26 April, Justice Precinct 1, District 135, page 16 (scan 362), Hse #133, Fam #132 Martin, A M W M 36 Married Farmer TX IL IL Martin, Lovy W F 35 Son [Wife] Married Keeping House GA GA GA Martin, Sarah A W F 14 Son [Dau] Single At Home Cannot write LA GA TX [sic] Martin, Wesley M W M 11 Son Single TX GA TX [sic] ** James A C Martin 7 ** Son Single TX GA TX [sic] Martin, Edward L W M 6 Son Single TX GA TX [sic] Martin, Jesse S W M 4 Son Single TX GA TX [sic] Martin, David W W M 2 Son Single TX GA TX [sic] It is unknown when James' parents moved to Parker County from Montague County where he was born. James was still in Parker County when he married Nancy Elizabeth Jackson-Yeary in October 1895. Nancy's name on the marriage record to James A C Martin is N E Green, indicating she was married to a Green after the death of her Yeary husband and before 1895 when she married James A Martin. Parker County Marriages 1890 through 1899 Martin J. A. Green [Jackson] N. E. 10/6/1895 -- Extracted by Melba Reidel, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txparker/marriages/1890_1899parkerbrides.txt The fact that she is reported in the 1910 census as in her second marriage would seem to indicate that listing with the surname Green is an error. This is her second marriage, accounting for only her prior known marriage to Mr Yeary. My cousin and co-researcher has surmised that the listing of Nancy with the surname Green is perhaps a mistranscription, either originally, or in the reading of the original (which is not available for online viewing) for her mother's maiden name. Parker County Texas Marriage License J A Martin and Miss N E Green (Nancy Elizabeth Jackson Yeary) License issued 4 October 1895 by J E Hodges, Parker County Deputy Clerk, Weatherford Ceremony performed 6 October 1895 by K G Tennison, Minister of the Gospel Filed 7 October 1895 The 1910 census indicates James and Nancy moved to Indian Territory, where two of their children were born, then moved back to Parker County, Texas. 1910 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 27 April, Justice Precinct 6, District 83, page 4A, Hightower Valley of Brazos River, Hse #69, Fam #70 Martin, Jim A Head M W 38 Marriage 1 Married 16 years Louisiana Louisiana Louisiana Farmer Rents Martin, Nancy E Wife F W 47 Marriage 2 Married 16 years Texas US Georgia Martin, Jesse A Son M W 14 Texas Louisiana Texas Laborer Home Farm Martin, Elbert E Son M W 14 Texas Louisiana Texas Laborer Home Farm Martin, Lily C Dau M W 9 Oklahoma Louisiana Texas Martin, Leeloo A Son M W 6 Oklahoma Louisiana Texas This indicates that Nancy Elizabeth was married before marrying James Martin. This refers to Nancy's marriage to a man named Yeary, father of James L Yeary. In 1910, Jim had just married Pearl Norris, and they are enumerated in their own household. No one has yet found the Martins or Nancy's son Jim Yeary in the 1900 census. 1910 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 9 May, Justice Precinct 7, District 84, page 12B, Hse/Fam #226 Yeary, Jim M W [no age] Married [No birth states reported] Rents farm -- page 12B -- Yeary, Pearl Wife F W [no age] Married 0 years [No birth states reported] Though the report says they have been married 16 years, according to the marriage record they have been married only 14.5 years. If the date in the marriage record is correct, they would have been married only 15 years on 6 October 1910. This census is also helpful in filling in their move from Parker County to Oklahoma (Indian Territory). At some time after that marriage, according to Betty Jackson letters, they moved to Indian Territory, returning to Parker County in 1907, the year that Oklahoma Territory came into being out of a merger of Oklahoma Territory, the various nations of Indian Territory and some additional territory from the State of Texas. They probably moved earlier in 1907 before the creation of the State of November on 16 November 1907. This 1910 census reports that their last two children were born in Oklahoma (Indian Territory), about 1900 and 1905, matching what Betty reported. If Jesse and Elbert (twins) were 14 in April 1910, they had to be born sometime before 1 April 1896. But the known birthday of the twins (from Jesse's death certificate and Elbert's Social Security information) is 15 June 1896. Thus, as we so often find, the ages reported in this census are not very exact! Since we know Jesse and Elbert were born in June 1896 in Parker County, Texas, James and Nancy moved to Indian Territory only after that date. It was between then and the birth of Lily in about 1900 that James and Nancy moved to Indian Territory. Then they moved back to Parker County, Texas, some time in 1907. Nancy died in 1914. A new marriage record ;previously unknown to famliy researchers came to light in 2016 through the research of a cousin on the Jackson-Martin side, Linda Martin Hanks Bussell. Linda found the record of marriage of James (J A Martin) to "Mrs Pearl Parsons." The form of her name indicates it was a married name. Cousin and researcher on the Green-Jackson lines, Marion Mixon, provided a copy of Linda's photo of the certificate and comments on the findings. This also includes some information on his further reaserch on the Yeary connection. ---------------- We now have Ruby Martin, James Alfred Charles Martin’s daughter from a marriage we knew nothing about. He was married to Pearl Walker Parsons Martin. I have added documentation to my tree. Linda Martin Bussell went to court house and got marriage info which is included in tree. Pearl had a sister Jimmie Sue Walker married to a Cleo Vernon Yeary which I have added to the tree and researched with the hope it may produce a tie to Nancy Elizabeth Jackson and Jim Yeary’s daddy. After inputting and researching back 4 generations I have found nothing that may help us find the Yeary tied to Nancy Elizabeth Jackson. -- Marion L Mixon, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins and Kati Jackson Cain, 28 February 2016 ---------------- Parker County, Texas, Marriage Certificate J A Martin and Pearl Parson License issued 26 Oct 1914 Ceremony performed 26 Oct 1914 by Charles H Lewis, "A Minister" Recorded 30 October 1914 Weatherford, Parker County, Texas Marriage record on file in the Weatherford Parker County Court House Annex, provided by research of Linda Martin Bussell, via Marion L Mixon, originally posted on Ancestry.com 23 Feb 2016; Used by permission James and Pearl had a daughter Ruby in March 1916. But by 1920 they were not together. Pearl is still in Weatherford, but in the household of her younger single brother Jim Walker. Ruby and another child reported as Leon, Female, age 7 in the home. This is confirmed by other records as Pearl's daughter Leon Parsons from her first marriage to Cahrles Atlas Parsons, whom she divorced. 1920 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 17 January, Weatherford Ward 4, District 64, page 14B, Hse #311, Fam #333 Walker, Jim Head Rents M W 26 Single TX TX TX Cotton Compress Laborer Martin, Pearl Sister F W 31 Married [but husband James not in the household] Colorado TX TX Martin [Parsons], Leon Dau F W 7 TX US Colorado [b abt 1912] Martin, Ruby Dau [of Pearl] F 3yrs8mos TX US Colorado [b abt Apr 1906] -- Ancestry.com, http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1920usfedcen&h=100693575&indiv=try They divorced around this census time. No report for James has been found in the 1920 census. At some point, James moved to Alex, Oklahoma, where he married his brother Edward's widow, Martha (Mattie) Vann Martin in 1925. It is not known exactly when James moved back to Oklahoma. It appears it was in 1925, connected with his retirement in that year, mentioned in his obituary in the The Alex Tribune, from his pastoral work in Texas.

In 1930 he was enumerated as as Jimmie Martin, age 57, born in Texas, and his wife as Mattie Martin, age 53, born in Texas. In 1940 he was listed as J A Martin, age 68, born in Texas and Mattie as age 63, born in Texas. -- Kathy Thomas, RootsWeb message to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 9 November 2016 On James' death certificate, I found it interesting that his name was written first as James Charles Alfred Martin, then then Charles was marked out. Family researchers I work with know him as James Charles Alfred Martin. The 1880 census has his name as James A C Martin. The obituary in the Alex, Oklahoma, newspaper refers to him as James Alfred Martin, while the Weatherford, Texas, paper calls him James Charles Alfred Martin. The death certificate gives the name of James' mother as Lovie Heath. This matches the census name in 1880 spelled Lovy. But the frst name in family genealogies is Mary. Her name seems to be Mary Lovy/Lovie Heath.

The first public record I find of Katherine's family is in DeWitt, Arkansas, in the 1930 census. She and her sister are living with their widowed father, James E Martin, age 61. Their mother Byrdie Ida Gordon had passed away at some unknown time before this census. 1930 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 3 April, DeWitt, District 16, page 1A, Hse/Fam #3 Martin, James E Head Owns house $2000 real estate M W 61 Widowed Indiana Indiana Indiana No occupation Martin, Katherine E Daughter F W 18 Single AR AR Indiana No occupation Martin, Jewell L Daughter F W 14 Single AR AR Indiana No occupation One genealogy had the name of James E Martin as James Edward. I found this was wrong when I got complete names from James' granddaughter Byrdie Engle McSwain. Her grandfather Martin was named James Edgar Martin. Katherine Engel Martin had been married before she married James Marvin McSwain. Her first husband was Dewey Rawls. Dewey was born 22 August 1900 in DeWitt, Arkansas, the southern county seat of Arkansas County. After Dewey died, Katherine married James Marvin McSwain, son of James Magnus McSwain, of Ethel, Arkansas. The marriage record for Marvin and Katherine misspells both her names, recording her name as Katherin Rowls.
