Would like to get in touch with anyone who can help me with my Martin family history. My great-great-great-grandfather was Jesse Martin. He was born in England in 1768 but grew up in Tennessee. He married Silphenia Gibbs of the Nicholas Gibbs family, in Knox County, TN on October 27, 1803 and they had three children: John Luther Martin, Sarah Martin who married Hiram Davis, and Nicholas Gibbs Martin. My direct ancestor, John Luther Martin, married back into the Nicholas Gibbs family through his wife Margaret Sharp (granddaughter of Nicholas Gibbs and Henry H. Sharp) and they moved to Missouri. I know nothing of Jesse Martin's life in Tennessee or the people that raised him, or if there are any remaining relatives of this family still living in Tennessee. Marta Hurst

Ruth Anne Heeter Wed Jan 1 11:27:31 1997
I am a descendant of William Shook who was born in VA and married Catherine Sears. They moved to TN and. made their home in the District south of French Broad and Holston Rivers, now Knox County. His land lay along Shook Mill Creek (now known as Burnett's Mill Creek) about nine miles from Knoxville. More than 20 years after it is thought he made his home there, and more than 10 years after TN became a state, he finally gained legal possession and a record was made of it on 2/10/1807, recorded as Grant No. 602 on 6/8/1809 (TN Grant Book 1, Pg 602). On Burnett's Creek, near the 1960 home of James B. Bolin, are evidences of an old mill dam, thought to be the site and Wm. Shook's mill on the creek once known as Shook Mill Creek. William & Catherine were parents of 11 children: Margaret 5/29/1766-9/18/1838 1st husband George Allen Brock 2nd husband Anthony Reagor parents of 9 children; William, Jr. 12/11/67- 1840 approx - married Elender Waters parents of 10 children; Abraham Shook 1770-1850to1860 married Mary Donaldson; Isaac Shook; Sarah Shook born 1774 died soon after 1850; Jacob Shook 12/17/1777-12/22/1834 married Eleanor Veach, parents of 7 children; Magdalena married Samuel Montgomery; Mary Ann 12/21/1782 and died before 1845 and married Thomas Carpenter III; Harmon Shook 9/15/1778 married Margaret McMillan in Knox Co on 2/16/1808 (MY GGGG GRANDPARENTS); Jemima who married Rowley McMillan on 3/8/1807 in Knox Co; John Shook who married Catherine Wilson on 8/7/1816. William sold his remainingI land to Joshua Monday on 10/11/1811 and moved to the wilderness - Flat Creek - in Bedford County, TN. He lived here until his death and was buried in the Shook Graveyard. I believe after the Civil War a new Shook family came to Knox County from North Carolina, whereas William came from Virginia (Hampshire County was in Virginia prior to Civil War but are now part of West Virginia). Do I have any cousins out there?
