Notes for Parlee J MARTIN


The 1930 Parlee and her husband have one child, a son, G H, matching Grover in
the 1920 census.  In 1930 Parlee has been married for about 20 years, based on
the ages and the age at first marriage for each of them.  The census names her
husband CD, but other sources tell us he is Charles E, son of Edward R
McSwain.  So this would be the same wife as in the 1920 census, despite the
difference in the names.

McSwain, Parlee Wife F W 38 First married at age 17 AR AR AR

Next door is GH McSwain whose age and proximity indicates he was their first
child, though Holden does not report him.  According to his marriage license,
the initials of Parlee's son should be G W.

Notes for Ruby Lucille MARTIN


"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."

Texas Birth Certificate
Ruby Martin
Born 5 March 1916
Father J A Martin
Mother Pearl Walker
Residence of Parents Advance [Parker County], Texas
Occupation of Father Minister
Person Reporting J A Williams, MD, Peaster [Parker County], Texas

Ruby's birth certificate does not state the place of birth, other than to
identify the county as Parker.

"ADVANCE, TEXAS. Advance is a dispersed rural community near Farm Road 1885
sixteen miles northwest of Weatherford in northwest Parker County. In 1890 B.
B. Barton, of Denton County, moved to Adell in Parker County. Four years later
he opened a general store four miles northwest of Adell and encouraged Adell
residents to move to his new community, which he named Advance. Postal service
began in 1894. A cotton gin was erected, and by the late 1890s the new
community had twenty residents. Postal service was discontinued in 1906."
--  "Advance TX," The Handbook of Texas,
https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hra12

"Peaster is an unincorporated community in Parker County, Texas, United
States, nine miles (14 km) northwest of Weatherford.  Settlement began in the
1870s when Georgia native H.H. Peaster bought 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land and
built a house. The community that developed near the site of his home was
originally called Freemont; in 1885 the name was changed to Peasterville.
Throughout the 20th century, Peaster has served area farmers as a school and
church community. During the mid-1920s the town's population grew to
approximately 300, but this was soon followed by a steep decline after the
Great Depression. From 1975 to 1990, Peaster had around 80 residents. Current
estimates put the population at approximately 100."
--  "Peaster, Texas," Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaster,_Texas

I found one of our cousin famliy researchers on Martin-Jackson-Green had left
a note on Ruby's Find a Grave memorial.

"She is half sister to my grandfather LeeLoo Alfred Martin, and the daughter
of James Alfred Martin.  If you are related to her I would love to hear from
you. Thanks,  Linda Martin bussell,lmhanks@sbcglobal.net"

In 1920, Ruby was enumerated with her mother and another child, identified as
Leon Martin, Female age 7.  The latter would be Pearl's son Leon Parsons from
her first marriage.  They are in the household of Pearl's unmarried brother
Jim Walker.  And next door on Ft Worth Street is their parents with other
siblings.

Ruby's death certificate reports her birth a year later than the birth record
shows.  Notice also that she hs a middle name, even though her birth
certificate reports only the name Ruby Martin.
