John Marion Martin born 10 July 1885 in Garfield Co., OK, died 10 Jly, 1930 in Macon Co.,NC ; married Mary Lou Gregory in Rabun Co.,GA in April of 1924. Issue :1- Effie Mae Martin b. 18 Apr. 1925, d. 16 Sep.1992 , 2- Carlton Grady Martin b. 11 Jly 1928. This is my grandfather. I have had many problems working on this line. Everything I know about him was told to me by my Aunt Effie Mae. He is said to have came to Macon Co.,NC from Douglas ,OK. He Killed a man there and fled . He arrived here about 1921. He was a carpenter and brick mason and was working on the construction of Western Carolina University and met my grandmother through one of her cousins who was working there too. He had been married in OK and had a son and daughter, his daughter might have been born in 1920. He might have changed his name, some say he was actually Jack Jones. I found a marriage record in Rabun Co.,GA for Martin Johnson and Lou Gregory for Apr. 1924...hmmmmm?

I would appreciate any help or pushes in the right direction.
