John Martin served as lieutenant in the Revolutionary War under Col. Benjamin Logan. He was with Daniel Boone in Kentucky as early as 1775, some say possibly 1770. It is quite possible that he received land grants in Kentucky as did others of his kinsmen.

About 1770, John and Rachel Pace Martin moved from Goochland County, Virginia, to Fluvanna County, Virginia. In the Fall of 1786 with the following children, John and Rachel moved to Fayette County, Kentucky, now Clark County: William, Orson, John, Valentine, Hannah and husband Obadiah Baber, Rachel and husband Francis Bush. The Babers settled on Four Mile Creek in Clark County. In 1844, Rachel, Valentine and Hannah were still there. The Martins, Bushes, Stevens, and other families are believed to have traveled together.

John and Rachael were members of the Baptist Separatists and were received by letter on July 14, 1787 into the Providence Church. On April 11, 1788, the Church unanimously agreed to call Daniel Ramey and John Martin as Elders and on May 10, 1788 they were ordained as Elders of Church.

John Martin and his nephew, John Martin built a mill on Lower Howard's Creek in Clark County, Kentucky.

On January 26, 1795, John Martin and Rachel sold 390 acres in Fluvanna County, Virginia to Samuel Smithson of Fluvanna County at which time she relinquishes her dower.

John Martin (# 67109355), son of Valentine and Jane (Bridgewater) Martin of Cumberland County, Virginia, is my 5th great uncle. The Valentine Martin family history by John R. Martin provides information about this John Martin fighting with Daniel Boone.

When Col. Benjamin Logan and his men were fighting in Lincoln County, Kentucky in 1777, this John was living with his family in Goochland County, Virginia.

Some family researchers thought this John was a Second Lieutenant from Fluvanna County, Virginia but that person was the son of Henry and Sarah (Bryan) Martin and died in 1830.

Our Martin Family history goes back to New Kent County, Virginia. There's no connection with Captain John Martin of Jamestown who lost his teenage son, John, in 1607 - his only male heir.

I've researched a variety of records for each John Martin who fought in the Revolutionary War and none match my relative. Records from Daniel Boone don't exist but we know this John Martin followed Boone to Clark County, Kentucky.
