The homeplace of Abner Martin, a 2-story salt box with porch and wings added, is still standing. Aluminum-sided, it is quite well kept. It is part of acreage owned by the late Alonza M. Connor and Nellie C. Connor, his wife. Mrs. Connor, I'm told, died several years ago and Mr. Connor not quite one year ago (1992), according to Thelma Dunnevant who owns the old McGuire home close by. It is located at 100 Connor Lane, State Road 700 in the Irisburg community. Home Creek runs some 50 feet from the house. The house and land are said to be on the market for $400,000.00.

The old Abner Martin rock-enclosed graveyard is on the road close by the old homeplace. There were no tombstones found inside the enclosure. J T Martin, a great great grandson of Abner Martin, his wife Velma, his sisters Virginia and her husband Frontis Cochran and another sister Lillian Jones, took my sister Florence, my brother Herb and myself to an enjoyable excursion graveyard hunting which included this site in June 1993.
