Numerous "rumors" have stated that Elizabeth Bates was part Cher okee or Choctaw Indian, I can't find any indication in the Bate s or the Martin family to suggests this is true.

Notes:

[TEST_file_Nov2002.ged]

From "Ancestors and Descendants of George and Margaret Bates Mar tin" by Lois Firmin:

The earliest we have been able to trace Nathaniel Martin, fathe r of George Martin, is 1786 when he is listed as a Tithable (tax payer) in Nelson County, VA (later KY) and is shown again in 1790.

In 1791, he is shown in the list of Tithables of Capt. Sandowski 's Co. 7 July 1791. The heading also stated "Ordered John Hardi n to take tithables in Capt. Sandusky's and Kennet's Company" Th ese are probably just neighbors organizing themselves into hom e militia as protection from the Indians or white marauders.

Marriage Bonds of Nelson County 1785-1832 contains the following : "Nathaniel Martin married Elizabeth Ray, daughter of Mary Ray . Surety, Thomas Cunningham. Consent filed with bond July 24 , 1787."

Nelson County, KY, including what later became Washington Co to th e mid-north and Cumberland Co. to the south. The Ray families a re listed on the same date when taking tithables and again as ne ighbors in Cumberland Co. On Nov. 17, 1796, in Washington Co. , KY, Nathaniel Martin signed consent and marriage bond as Sucur ity for Sarah OBanon and Nathaniel Ray. It is thought Nathanie l and William Ray were brothers of Elizabeth. These Ray familie s appear to have come to KY from Maryland.

Nathaniel Martin appears in the Washington County, KY. Tax Record s in 1792, 1793, 1794, 1795 and 1796. He owns no land but ha s 4 horses and 13 cattle in 1792, four horses in 1793 but onl y 6 cattle. In 1793, he is taxed for only two horses and 6 cattl e. Same for 1794. Nothing shown for acres in any year and no c attle or horses shown in 1796. Just two days apart, William Mar tin is listed. He and Nathaniel both over 21 Whites but no acre s shown for him either. In 1795, he is listed for Wm. Castleman 's land and in 1797 and 1799 for Wm. Cartright's land.

It may be that Nathaniel left Washington Co. in 1796 to homestea d in Cumberland Co. (originally part of Green Co. which was orig inally part of Nelson Co. KY) The following from "Early Kentuck y Land Grant":

No. 583 dated May 13, 1799. Nathaniel Martin 200 acres second-r ate land on Martin's Creek joining the big clay lick bottom, beg inning at a beech and dogwood thence running N50W, N40 E, S50E , S40W for quantity.

No. 645. John Martin 200 acres second-rate land upon Martin's C reek adjoining the big clay lick bottom, beginning at two ash tr ees corner to Nathaniel Martin's thence with Martin's lin 550 E , S40W to a military line thence with said line N57W and 40E fo r quantity.

(It is suspected this John Martin is Nathaniel's brother or fath er. It is also suspected the William Martin in Washington Co . is either a brother or father, probably a brother since he own s no property.)

In 1800, Nathaniel Martin is listed as an Adjutant in the Corn S talk Militia of Cumberland County, KY. This would indicate that h e could both read and write. The 1800 KY census for Cumberlan d Co KY North of Green River was either not taken or lost, and t his was the area in which Nathaniel lived.

Nathaniel was also in the War of 1812, being a Cpl. in 1812 in B arbee's Regiment of KY Militia and in 1813 a Pvt. in Capt. Joh n Walker's Infantry of KY Militia Detached.

The 1810 census of Cumberland County, KY, lists the following for N athaniel Martin.

Males Female s Blacks
2 under 10 yrs 3 under 10 yr s none
1 10-16 yrs 0 10-16 yrs
3 16-26 yrs 1 16-26 yrs
0 26-45 yrs 1 26-45 yrs
1 over 45 yrs 0 over 45 yrs.


There are several deed transfers in Cumberland Co. from 1817 thr u 1819 by Nathaniel Martin. Nathaniel and George Martin have al ready received grants form the Mountain Dist. Land Office in Nas hville, TN for land on the Caney Fork in the First District of W hite County, Tennessee. In 1817, Nathaniel Martin sold his far m in White County, to Elijah Bates.
