Suggested edit: Info in her bio is incorrect. James [Martin] brought his wife Sarah Ellen (who was pregnant) and his kids to Knox Co., Illinois in 1837 to stay with his daughter and son-in-law, Mary Ann and Daniel Dean, who had married in 1835, while he and a couple of his neighbors, Howard brothers from Butler Co., Ohio went with him to the Iowa Territory. He staked out a claim in 1838 about five miles from Marion which wasn't there at the time, cleared land and put in crops in 5 acres and built a house for his family to live in. One of his friends sold his land and went back to Ohio while the other one stayed. In 1839 he went back to Illinois to get his family which now included Giles Richard Martin who was born on January 30, 1838. The creek they lived by was later named Martin Creek, and they also named a school and a church after him as well. There were other Martins in the area who came later, but they had immigrated from England. One of them was also named James Martin and is always getting mixed up with our James Martin. Agnes' sister, Lucy, who was first married to John Busenbark in 1850 and who had a son in 1851 that died before he was a year old in 1852, had died in 1851 before Agnes married him in 1853.
