      End of Civil War Service
      1870 US Fed Census: Subdivision 71, Jackson Co, Georgia, age 44, born VA, Wagon Maker with wife Sarah E., age 41, sons George T. - age 19, William M. - age 12, Robert C. - age 10, James H. - age 3, and daughter Ida T. - age 7
      1878 - Saturday, April 27th issue of The Forest News, Jackson County, Georgia an article appeared as follows: Thieving. One night last week, some one, by breaking the lock, entered the smoke-house of Mr. Geo. L. Marin, living about three miles below Harmony Grove (now Commerce), and took there from some flour, a few pieces of meat, &c. No clue to the robbers.
      1880 US Fed Census: District 255 (Minish), Jackson Co, GA, age 54, born VA, farmer, with wife Sarah A., age 51, sons Robert C. - age 20, James H. - age 10, and daughters Ida T. - age 14, and Ella F. - age 6
      George L. Martin is listed in census data as being born in Virginia. There were a lot of Martins in Virginia in 1840 and it is very difficult to discern which Martin George descends from. More records will have to be found George L. before I determine his father's name. Also, in the 1900 census records of his children James H, Robert C, and son-in-law living with Sarah, George L. (as father) is listed as born in Tennesee. ????
      His epitaph reads "Death was the gale through which to life he passed. To feast on joys that will forever last."

      Listed marriage date of 13 Jan 1901 is after his dealth, will need to resarch all dates. - Robert Wood, Jr.
