"Emanuel Henry MARTIN Family Genealogy,
1800-1962" by Elam V. MARTIN,1963. First sheet: his picture and the title
page. Pp. 10/11-thru 14/15: narrative, telling where they first lived, how
they returned to GA after their first child was killed by Indians, when and
where they returned to in FL Territory, etc. On page 12: "This offer of
public lands was an inducement for EMANUEL AND HIS WIFE MARY GEIGER to go to
Alachua County, East Florida, shortly after their marriage in 1826. A
footnote here says: "Information in the family Bible and information
received from his children over thirty (30) years ago indicates that Emanuel
and Mary first came to Florida in 1826."

Pp. 32/33 thru 38/39 give the "EMANUAL HENRY MARTIN Genealogy", which
begins with: "Information at hand indicates that John MARTIN (grandfather
of EHM) was a German who settled in South Carolina and was living during the
Revolutionary War. He was a preacher of the German Baptist or Dunker
denomination of Christians. One of his sons was named James MARTIN, who
reared a family of several sons and daughters, among them our forebear,
EMANUAL HENRY MARTIN. James MARTIN was a preacher of the Baptist
denomination withhis father." A lengthy footnote said the info came from a
sketch written on the back of an old deed by oldest son of EHM.

P. 37 starts out: "Emanuel Henry MARTIN, the son of James MARTIN, was born
September 23, 1804, and six years after Florida became a state he died on
May 2, 1851, at Pine, Marion County, Fla., of pneumonia and is buried in
Indian Lake Cemetery on the old road between Anthony and Ft. McCoy, Fla. On
February 19, 1826 he married HIS COUSIN, MARY GEIGER, DAUGHTER OF FELIX
GEIGER and his wife, MARY (MARTIN) OF BULLOCK COUNTY, GEORGIA. MARY GEIGER
was born July 1, 1806 and died Dec. 17, 1885 and is buried beside her
husband in Indian Lake Cemetery. Ten children were born to this marriage."
My comment: MARY GEIGER was the youngest sister of my 2nd great
grandfather, JOHN MARTIN GEIGER, son of FELIX GEIGER and his wife, MARY
(MARTIN).
