Im pretty sure of the dates but things are a bit open. Lorenzo Dow Martin appears on the
1850 Lawrence County census as 22 years old. The next I find him is with his Civil War
Draft registration card in Hardin County, Illinois in 1863 listed a single. So first of
all, he made a journey along the Ohio River from Lawrence County (on the River) to Hardin
County (far west of the River) between 1850 and 1863. He was widowed by that time so Im
checking evcery county along the river to see if he picked up a wife between 1850 and 1863
when listed as single on the draft registration card. He married in 1864 in hArdin County
and remained there until his death in 1881..
Im actually surprised there are so many Lorenzo D's. ;)
