Carol,
First - Thank you, Thank you!
James Martin and Mary Carrol; had 3 children.
Their son James A. Martin was born in Illinois Camp Liberty, Adams Point, I believe - what
ever the U.S. Army base was).
He died in 1877 - or earlier. At the time of his death, he was in Cheyenne, Wyoming,
either working for the railroad or in the Army. I don't know wherre he is buried, but
I do know Mary's family lived in Muscatine at the time and they arranged for the
memorial.
In the census, James Martin says he was born in Ireland. In his Civil War records, he
says he was born in New York. Mary Carrol remarried after James' death to a man named
Keegan. They had one daughter. She later divorced him (oh, the shame of it). My
grandfather and his siblings remembered her quite clearly. I have what is supposed to be a
picture of her.
James A. Martin was my grandfather's (James Patrick Martin) father. James A. married
Maggie (Margaret) Carey - they had oodles of children. From that point on, I have lots of
information.
What would you like?
