Notes:

William was found by DNA thrulines matching to other descendants of Benjamin and Sarah Baker Martin. He was the only one of their sons that could account for our Rhoda Martin's birth. After much research, I was able to find him in Wayne Co., OH by 1820. His daughter, Rhoda, proved via autosomal DNA, got her marriage license with William Harb in Wayne Co., Ohio. Rhoda Martin and William Harb took a letter from the clerk of Wayne Co., Ohio to Montgomery Co., Ohio to verify this when they married in Montgomery Co., Ohio.William's 3 oldest children were already out of the house and likely working elsewhere by the 1820 census. Henry Harland Martin, the oldest son, appears to have stayed behind in Kentucky and married there. William had so many children, he probably had 3 wives instead of the listed 2. That would indicate that Margaret had died before 1854, likely in Ohio.

Notes:

My father, Albert Edward Coate, remembers his great grandfather, Marcus Lafayette as a tall man. He often tells the story that he knew his ancestor named Marcus who was probably named after someone who respected and knew the original Marquis de Lafayette who helped found our nation. (C-43) He is living with his mother, Rhoda Coate, who was recently widowed and wife, Mary J. and daughters, Ida J. and Lena in the 1870 census in Union Twp. Miami Co., OH. His son Franklin was not listed in this household. I theorize that his son Franklin died before 1870 as he does not appear in any census record after his birth about 1862. Marcus was a clerk in a Dry Goods store in this census. He was living with his daughter, Lena and son-in-law, Amos Coffman in Preble Co., Ohio by the year 1900. He was a mail carrier in that year. (C-97)

Notes:

I suspect that this unknown son could be the Joseph Harb who lived in Mercer Co., Ohio in 1880. He was born about 1834 in Ohio. His father was born in Pennsylvania and his mother in Maryland. (This should have been Kentucky if it was an exact match with otherr children's reposnses.) His wife's name was Lena and his children's names were Franklin, Mary, William, Andrew, Joseph, and Margaret. His wife's name and children named Franklin, William, and Andrew were repeated in the rest of this family living in Miami Co., Ohio. My family in Miami Co., Ohio also had 2 sons named William and George who lived for a while in Mercer County in the 1850's as young men.
