Notes


Found in Jackson Co., Florida Census: 1850 (with two children), 1860 (no children), and 1880 (no children). Ages during 1880 Census: 81 and 65. He bought land patents in Jackson Co., Florida before the Civil War on the following dates: 40 acres on April 20, 1837 when John P. was about 37 years old. 40 acres on April 20, 1837 80 acres on July 28, 1838 80 acres on June 16, 1856 when John P. was about 56 years old. 160 acres on April 2, 1860 when John P. was about 60 years old. All of the above patents were to "John P. Martin of Florida" or "of Jackson County, Florida." There were also two land patents purchased in Shelby Co., Alabama by a "John P. Martin of Shelby County, Alabama." that were probably a different John P. Martin: 80 acres on June 1, 1858 80 acres on December 1, 1860 John P. Martin's only son was Aaron D. Martin, birth state listed as Alabama. However, there was another Aaron D. Martin. There were several land patents purchased by this Aaron D. Martin in Alabama and in Jackson Co., Florida: 120 acres on October 25, 1831 in Houston Co., Alabama before this Aaron was born. 40 acres on December 10, 1841 in Dale Co., Alabama when Aaron was only 7 years of age. 160 acres on December 1, 1857 in Jackson Co., Florida 4 years after Aaron's marriage. 160 acres on April 2, 1860 in Jackson Co., Florida 3 years later. Again the ones purchased in Alabama were probably a different Aaron D. Martin as they list "Aaron D. Martin & Gibson Martin of Henry County" or "Aaron D. Martin of Dale County" rather than "Aaron D. Martin of Jackson County, Florida." Thus, this family owned and farmed as much as 720 acres of land in Jackson Co., Florida. The tracts in Alabama were probably owned by a different (although likely related) John P. and Aaron D. Martin. John P. and Nancy were still in Jackson Co., Florida during the 1880 Census and are most likely buried there. Aaron and his family moved to Texas after the 1880 Census and after the Civil War.
