Martin, Matthew b.c. 1755 d. Ante 1800 m. Agnes ________ He enlisted in the Second Regiment on 4 November 1775. P.I.; N.A. 853. "Ante 1800" is clearly incorrect. Matthew Martin shows on the 1800 census in Georgetown District and the 1820 Williamsburg County, SC census near family members. In 1822, Matthew Martin, of Williamsburg County, SC, stated in an affidavit, attached to Bryant Rogers' Revolutionary War pension application, that he served with Bryant Rogers in Marion's 2nd South Carolina Regiment. This is incontrovertible proof that Matthew Martin of Williamsburg Co., SC was the same man who served, with his father, Moses Martin, in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment. Both Matthew and Moses Martin were given land grants in Marion District, SC for their service. Matthew Martin was later given grants in Georgetown District, on Sampit River and Black River, and lived on that land with his family. From "Unwaried Patience and Fortitude: Francis Marion's Orderly Book", p. 617: "Matthew Martin was born in 1755. He enlisted in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment on 4 November 1775. On 13 April 1776, he was sentenced to 50 lashes for being drunk and insolent, but it was remitted." Daughters of the American Revolution, Application # 333931, dated 12 December, 1927 by Mrs. Inez Martin Berry: "Matthew Martin, Sr. fought with the illustrious "Swamp Fox" of the Carolinas, Gen. Francis Marion. He enlisted Nov. 4, 1775 and was discharged April 21, 1777. Land grants in the office of the Secretary of State in Columbia, SC show that he was granted land in the Marion District on the South side of Maiden Down Swamp bounded by lands granted to Moses Martin and John Cribb." South Carolina Audited Accounts of Revolutionary Service, Matthew Martin, # 4807, from Craven County, Prince Frederick Parish, enlisted 4 Nov 1775 in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment, discharged 21 Apr 1777. 1778 Petit Jurors, Prince Frederick Parish, Georgetown District: John Smith, Jr., Charles Moody, Samuel Smith, Hugh Smith, Joshua Barfield, Moses Martin, Matthew Martin, Henry Clark, et.al. 1786 Tax Returns, Prince George Parish, Captain Harrelson's Company: Moses Martin, 200 acres. 1788 Petition of Divers Inhabitants of the Little Pee Dee: Moses Martin, Matthew Martin. 1790 First US Census, Parish of Prince George, Georgetown District: Moses Martin, 2 males over age 16, 1 male under age 16, 4 females.

Dr Brother, I now set down to write you that myself and family is well and is doing well. I have nothing very particular to inform you of, only that I have sold my lands in Wilkson County for three negroes and three hundred dollars and has purchased land five miles east of that on Beever Creek in the Ameet County for one hundred sixty dollars where I have settled, I expect, for life, as my family is getting somewhat large, we have but four children, as yet, two boys and two girls, who with ourselves and six negroes do not experience one weeks sickness in twelve months. Our lands is rich and fertile, whereon we can make the greatest plenty. Our water is pure and good and our country is pleasant both summer and winter. All the necessities of life can be had here as cheap as they came in South Carolina. ... I and family desires to be remembered to my mother and brother, and Uncle Matthew Martin and Uncle Hugh Smith and all other enquiring friends. I have never received but one letter from any of you, that was yours dated May 24th, 1809. My wife and children joins me in love to you and yours. I remain your loving and affectionate brother till death. (Signed) Joseph Clark. P.S. I would be glad you write me how my Mother and Brother, and Uncle Matthew Martin and Uncle Hugh Smith and Uncle William Smith is making out, and how you are doing yourself." The reference to "Uncles" in this letter would confirm that "Uncle Matthew Martin's" wife, Mary Agnes, was nee' Smith. Hugh Smith and William Smith were brothers. Henry Clark, father of Joseph Clark and William Clark, above, married Mary Agnes Smith's sister. 1800 US Census, Winyaw Parish, Georgetown District: Matthew Martin. 1 male age 26-44 [Matthew Martin, Sr.] 4 males under age 10 The 4 young males above include the following: Moses Martin, born ca. 1790.

James Martin and Stephen Martin enlisted together in Captain James Johnson's Company, Major Loveless Gasque's Battalion in the War of 1812. This is the same James Martin who purchased the Joseph Clark land, referenced above. James Martin and Matthew L. Martin stayed in Williamsburg County, SC where they married and raised families. James Martin married Mary Britton about 1824. Her father, Thomas G Britton, wrote his Last Will and Testament in 1835, mentioning James and Mary Martin. James Martin died and Mary Britton Martin remarried to James M. Eaddy. Matthew L. Martin, referred to as "Jr." in several documents, married Eliza McIntosh and settled near Anderson, Williamsburg Co., SC. He died 18 Dec 1847. The Martin-Boyd Family collection located at the South Carolina Historical Society contains numerous documents including deeds, personal correspondence, estate records and financial documents related to this family. Stephen Martin moved to Barnwell County, South Carolina in 1817 where he married Sarah Touchstone in Nov. 1818. See his FindaGrave memorial for details on his family. Stephen Martin filed a claim for his War of 1812 service in 1874 in which he stated the details of his service in CPT James Johnson's Company, MAJ Loveless Gasque's Battalion.
