Notes:

Parentage unknown. No immigration records. Burial unknown. Could have arrived by way of Canada. Son Thomas G. reports that his father Thomas was born in Wales in the 1920 and 1930 census presumably after the father's death. Thomas, the father, always reported his birth in England. In one census, year of immigration is 1857, in another it is 1862. There were very few Strongs in Wales in the 1840's and 1850's but many in England. No death record found, but could contain the names of his parents which could lead to identifying the family in England. He was last listed in the Detroit city directory in 1812 living with his son Thomas G. The middle name of his first born son is "St. John" which could refer to St. John the Evangelist which is also a parish in Westminster, Middlesex, England or could have used the name for other reasons.

Thomas married Alice Louisa Smith on 25 Aug 1864 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. Alice (daughter of Charles Smith and Elizabeth Wilkins Goom) was born on 20 Sep 1840 in St John the Evangelist, Westminster, Middlesex, England; died on 23 May 1906 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan; was buried in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan.

Notes:

"Your grandpa Martin organized his company of 21 men just 100 years ago in the city of Baltimore, Md. He would never talk war but would tell me whan I asked him about some of the wonderful deeds of bravery. For instance the time he led his Company through the Union line at Henderson, Ky and drove 800 head of beef cattle back down to the southern men (the Union men had previously taken the cattle without pay). Some went to La Grange and some to Britton's Lane where men were fighting hand to hand (battle date: Sep. 1, 1862). There is a stone memorial in Britton's Lane standing out there in the woods and under brush, no one seems to know anything about it. (presently it is a Civil War memorial park near Madison, Tennessee) When I was down there on a visit with your Aunt Leila to see some of kin, I went up and read the names. One of them that I knew was Mr. Stribbins, I went over to his home and he told me about the battle and the memorial. It's a long story, however. Mr. Stribbins lived to be 114 years old."

Notes:

Elizabeth was the oldest of Stephen and Sarah's children. In May of 1815 she was living in Westminster, most likely visiting family or friends there, when banns were read for her and John Hollier in St Marylebone. Objections were made because of the groom's age and the marriage didn't take place. Five months later in the parish of St James Westminster, she married Charles Smith, a cabinetmaker. In both cases she claimed to be a resident of the parish. She may have moved or may have lied about her residence. In both cases she lied about being of age to marry without parental consent. She was 18, and the legal age was 21. She almost always gave her birthplace as Westminster, not Southwark. Elizabeth and Charles lived in Westminster until at least 1841. They moved back to Bermondsey for a time and were living there in 1851, but in 1852 they emigrated to the US with their six younger children children (the four oldest had already moved to Detroit). They settled in Detroit, Michigan where Charles was a land speculator, buying up and developing farmland for sale in what is now downtown Detroit. Elizabeth died in 1868 and buried in Elmwood Cemetery. In 1871, when Charles died, her body was moved to the new family plot in Woodmere Cemetery. - Ronda L. Oberlin, ancestry.com

Death notice: "Departed this life at half past 2 o'clock P.M. (on the 3rd) after a short but painful illness, Capt. Isaac W. Martin, in the 38th year of his age. His friends and acquaintances are respectfully requested to attend his funeral at 9 o'clock this morning from his late dwelling in Fleet Street." - Baltimore American newspaper, Oct. 4, 1832, copied by Thomas Bishop Martin
"His death was caused from Cholera, which was contracted by his son, I. W. Martin, the second, and later given to the father in a glass of water which both had drunk. When my grandfather came home and found his son ill with cholera, it is said that he walked the floor continuously and at times was so distressed over his son's condition, that he would "pull his own hair out", unless guarded by someone, and alas, he himself caught the dreadful disease, died within a few days, while his son recovered and lived past 80 years. - Thomas Bishop Martin

Notes:

(except regarding Samuel Owen Russell family from Genealogy and biography of leading families of the city of Baltimore and Baltimore County, Maryland , 1879) WILLIAM L. RUSSELL, station agent at Arlington and postmaster at Station E, was born in Mobile, Ala., October 11, 1857, the son of Samuel Owens [Owen] and Ellen (Owens) [Odom] Russell, also natives of Alabama. Little is known concerning the ancestral history of the Russell family, save the fact that they came to America from England in a very early day. The father of our subject was a large cotton dealer, having mills in both Alabama and Mississippi, and spending the principal years of his life in Alabama, but his last days in Mississippi, where he died in 1870 [1868]. In political views he was an ardent Democrat. From the breaking out of the Civil war until its close he served in the Confederate army. He was a typical southerner, fond of the south and in sympathy with it in every public issue, a genial, hospitable gentleman, who had many warm friends in the locality where he dwelt. The family of Samuel Owens [Owen] Russell consisted of six children, three sons and three daughters, of whom the others besides our subject are named as follows: Allen, who died in childhood; Charles, a railroad man, now living in Mississippi; Jennie, wife of William D. Martin, who is connected with the railroad and lives at Jackson, Tenn.; Ellen, wife of A. B. Chase, of Alabama; and Delphia Anne, who married J. A. Wimbish and resides at Moselle, Miss. At the time of his father´s death our subject was thirteen years of age, and there-after the support of his mother and a younger brother fell upon him, but he was faithful to the trust and affectionately provided for his mother until she passed from earth in 1888. His education, which was limited, was obtained in the schools of Waynesboro, Miss. At the age of fifteen he went to Jackson, Tenn., where he had charge of a large store for his brother-in-law, remaining there for four years.
