Yes that is them. But I need proof that Jane Lewis Martin is the daughter
of Nicholas Lewis Martin and Elizabeth A Dickinson. All those who used this
line used the short form to the original person who established this line.
Her application is very old. So I think everything needs to be
re-established. Jane Lewis Martin, d/o Nicholas Lewis Martin and Elizabeth
Dickinson, has never been established.
The only record I can find to link Jane to her father is a chancery record.
She has no death record except her tombstone. She is mentioned in her
brother's obit as his sister, but there is no citation for the obit. And no
library so far can tell me where the obit came from. She is not in the 1850
Census with Nicholas & Elizabeth Martin because she married in 1849. There
is no marriage license or bond for her marriage only the marriage registry
entry that shows N. L. Martin provides the security.
Thanks for any suggestions.
