Helo Lonny,
I am sorry to say that I do not think my Martin family is connected to yours.
My Martin family is associated with MA and Maine. They were early settlers. One of them, my line, went to Wilmington, NC in the 1840's. I do not recognize any of the names you have mentioned.
I am not aware of any association with Virginia.. I've primarily concentrated on my line and have not kept up with more recent Martins. The earlier ones were usually associated with the sea. Sea Captains, Shippers, sailors. If I run across any of them going to VA, I will let you know.
Good Luck in your search,
Barbara

Lonny,
Could this be your Martin family? I am working on a project related to
the Marks family of Louisa and Albemarle. One of the brothers is in
business with a Hudson Marks who moves to Nelson County. Hudson is an
established DAR ancestor (pensioned W7394). The three children that
have been used for DAR membership are Nicholas Lewis who married
Elizabeth Ann Dickinson, Hudson who married Mary Ann Hawkins, Mary
Walker who married Thurston Dickinson. Hudson's wife is Jane Lewis.
You can look at the lineages on the DAR website under their genealogy
section.
