  • 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." Letter from Trevellick Owen Martin to niece Ruth Martin Strong (edited) Oct. 22, 1960
