RICHARD B. MARTIN

Richard B. Martin married Acsah Hunt March 15, 1821 in Washington Co., TN -- Acsah, born July 15, 1802, was the daughter of Uriah and Sarah Kincheloe Hunt. I am most certain Richard Boswell Martin is his name, having been given his mother's maiden name of Boswell. I also believe that Richard and Acsah lived in a big brick house where the Homer Hunt house now sits and occupied today by Don Squibb. Uriah Hunt land was adjoining and Acsah Hunt Martin and Benjamin Hunt may have given land nearby. I have a picture of Martha Hunt Milburn and her husband that was once a part of a picture of the Hunt clan ; Christine Morris if you are reading this I would love to have the whole picture again; somehow it got lost in computer

Thanks to Marilyn Hunt Chambers for the great pictures of Aunt Vert and daughters Nellie and Mary as well as the Morningstar School photo. I believe the teacher is William Shelton Squibb and the tall guy in the middle looks like a Uriah Hunt kin. The young girl sitting in front with her face scratched may not be Nellie Walker. I have been told that Nellie scratched her face off in many pictures ; maybe it is a friend that Nellie didn't like? Nellie would be 16 yrs old and one of the older girls standing in back






Sons of Alverta and John Thomas Walker ; Fred Martin Walker and John Thomas Walker, Jr ; John died of diabetes in his early adult years






Nellie and Mary Walker daughters of Alverta and John Thomas Walker






This is Nellie Walker and John Fields when they were living in Florida






Another Sulphur Springs graduating class but what year? There must be a MARTIN boy graduating? Standing in the middle back row or seated on the right?






Aunt Sarah Ann Bacon Harrison was the aunt of John Thomas Walker ; she lived on Douglass Chapel Rd ; would love to know the exact place the house stood. It must be torn down today
