• ** Declaration of Nancy Martin – 24 Nov. 1840 - Stokes County, N.C. –

Nancy, aged 77, was deposed at her residence 16 miles from the courthouse of Stokes County, she being very unable to travel to court from bodily infirmities. Nancy is the widow of John Martin. Her husband often related to her the many services he performed as a militia soldier and officer. He said he served the most part of the whole war. He was in several skirmishes or battles. One was on the Chesnut Ridges in Surry County, another at a place called Colesons fields or mills on Rocky River, and one on the Allamance River, and one towards Kings Mountain when he said he got wounded by the Tories. He was commanded by Maj. Winston of then Surry County, Col. Jo Williams, Capt. James Cloud, Col. Cleveland, Col Shepperd, and Capt. Minor Smith, all of Surry County. John Martin served most of the time as a lieutenant. Nancy married John Martin in June 1784 in Surry County, N.C. by Micajah Clarke, a magistrate of that county, after having been first published by a minister, John W. Stephens (?) of the Baptist Church. Her husband John Martin died on April 5, 1823.
