     It was in the fall of 1806 that the family of John Martin, Jr. headed west. They had one daughter and four sons when they left. The oldest, Margaret, was 19 and the youngest, Allen, was 5. They carried their household goods and suppiles in wagons and on packhorses. While they were traveling through the Cheorkee country their last child, Jared Carswell, was born on October 11. The midwives at the delivery were two Indian women. John and his family never forgot the kindness and the helpfulness of these Indian women.
It would appear that John's decision to move west was not entirely due to the desire to find new land. Malaria was endemic to the area of Georgia in which they lived and infant mortality was very high. John and Elizabeth's first born, Samuel, died in 1790 and thrii of their four daughters died in infancy or early childhood. It was after the third daughter, Mary Ann, died in October 1805 that they decided to seek a healthier climate and, because of the excitement caused by the addition of new lands through the Louisiana Purchase and the great visions for the development of the Mississippi Valley, they made the decision to seak their health and fortune there. So they made the long journey to Cape Girardeau, Louisiana Territore, the area that later became the State of Missouri.
In the Colonial Records of the State of Georgia there is the following passport issued to John, Jr. to allow his to pass through the Indian Territories and to introduce him to the American Officials and citizens in the new Territory: Georgia, Jefferson County: We do certify that we have been acquainted with Mr. John Martin, the Bearer hereof, during the Revolutionary War, through which he conducted himself as a TRUE FRIEND to his country, and has since carried and borne the character of an upright honest and virtuous citizen. Understanding that he is about to travel to the Western Country and elsewhere we do recommend him to the attention of all Good-Men. Given under our hands at Louisville this 24th. day of June, 1806. Signed by John Twiggs, Maj. Genl. 2nd Division, Georgia Militia and Jared Irwin, BG. 2nd Division and 2nd. Brigade. Signed on behalf of the State of Georgia, His Excellency JOHN MILLEDGE, Governor and Commander in Chief.^3,4
