| ID: I0074 RootsWeb WorldConnect 24 Feb 2000 Name: Valentine Martin Sex: M Birth: 18 JUN 1710 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA Death: 1760 in Cumberland Co., VA Note: Will proved 28 Jul 1760, in Cumberland Co. There is no certain proof that Jane's name was Bridgewater, but she and Daniel and Jane Boatwright sold land in Cumberland Co. in 1778. Valentine owned several hundred acres of land in Goochland Co. when he died. (Martin Family Quarterly, vol XII, May 1986.) Valentine's will states: "In the name of God, amen..... May the 21st, 1758, I, Valentine Martin...." et. al. gives land to son Orson, son Valentine, son Jobe, sons Samuel and Isom, "but if Isom should die without heir.... my son John Martin may have his part of the land. (Isom did die and John did take ownership.) Item. I give and bequeathe to my son John Martin one shilling stearlin." The rest of the estate after further dispositons is left to "my beloved wife...." Note that Paul, op. cit. says she was Jane Bridgwater, as I carry her and her parents here. ___________________________________ Martin Martin 1678, posted by: Toni Finch-Johnson, July 10, 1999 Martin Matin born abt 1678 Married Sarah Hix Marriage was 10 of Feb 1698 or 1699 St. Peters Par.

Valentine may be the same as Valentine Martin who was christened 18 June 1710 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., Virginia, son of Martin Martin and Sarah Hix. [IGI] Jane Bridgewater, who was born about 1710, was a sister of Samuel Bridgwater, and probably they were children of Benjamin, Thomas, or Nathaniel Bridgwater, who were, in turn, sons of Samuel and Frances Bridgwater of Varina Parish, Henrico Co., Virginia. Thomas has been selected as the most likely and included in this lineage. However, the connection is suspect and requires additional research. Valentine and Jane moved to Cumberland Co., Virginia, about 1739. Nicholas Davis of Henrico County also immigrated as many of the area did. Nicholas became Sheriff. Jane's brother must have gone along as he witnessed Valentine's will dated 21 May 1758 and proved 10 July 1760. [Cumberland Co., Virginia, Will Book 1, p. 203. Additional witnesses were Samuel Traylor and David Thompson]. Family records are also found in Fluvanna and Goochland Counties, Virginia. Research by Vern Paul of Los Angeles, California.
