This Bible record, the original in the possession of Jessie
(Mrs. Bryson) Kelley of Tuscaloosa, Alabama; twin sister of
Bessie Kelley of Prattville, and daughter of John Wesley
Tatum, and grandaughter of Peter James Tatum (1850-1934). It
was passed down to the youngest child in three generations so
far. The front cover, name page and first few chapters of
Genesis are missing, so the name of the owner is not given.
I believe it to be that of William Martin, who left a will in
Montgomery Co, Al.; May 22, 1843 (Book 2, page 273), naming
several of the same children: Martha Tatum; Elizabeth Price;
Polly Hegwood; amd Andrew Martin.
I also believe it to be the same William Martin who filed an
1834 Revolutionary War Pension Application in Montgomery in
1834 and in it states that he was born in Caroline County
Virginia about 1760 and moved to Anson Co. North Carolina at
the age of 14, where he served with Walter Ross and ---
Dejarnette, who were living in Autauga County at the time of
his application. He stated he had lived in Alabama seventeen
years, living in Autauga County, before moving to Montgomery
four years prior to the application.
Only one William Martin of the correct age in the 1830
Autauga and 1840 Montgomery Censuses. Mary Ann.
