Nov. 1727 -- Ann McPherson nee Martin “gave 100 acres to John Martin -- ‘Ann’s husband Daniel McPherson, was on his deathbed at the time the land was given away. This land was originally purchased from Francis Warrington. John Martin is referred to as from King George County.’ ” (Thomas Watts of Stafford County, VA, Edward C. Watts, posted on Watts Descendants of Virginia, Lori Linnell, RootsWeb World Connect Project database)

John Martin Jr was named in the will of cousin Frances Golber/White/Lampton 24 Apr 1716 “cousin John Martin Jr. the tract of land where Richard Craford is now living.” Wits: Mary Martin, Thomas MacDunin, Elizabeth Spears. The will also made a bequest to "cousin Francis Martin the tract of land where James Clark is now living." it is unclear whether this Francis was a full sibling of John Martin, Jr., or perhaps was Francis Waddington, Jr. [3]
In a court record from 1727 Anne acknowledged the right of John Martin, Jr. to land in King George county that her husband, Daniel McPherson, had purchased from Francis Waddington [unclear whether Sr or Jr, both were dead at this point] even though Francis on his deathbed said the land should belong to John Martin, Jr.
