Redbird Ridge, our modest homestead, is located in Grant Parish, Louisiana. That's in Central Louisiana, a world away from New Orleans in more ways than one.

In this blog I hope to share information with distant cousins who may be researching the Martin and Crawford families of Moniteau County and Cooper County, Missouri. Please take a look at the 3-generation descendant trees of Jesse Martin and Samuel Crawford.

Valentine Martin

Thank you to those who have contacted me and added information! As I have been continuing to work on the Martins, I’ve discovered that Jesse Martin, Sr. (b.1783 NC). and his wife Mary came to Missouri between 1810-1820. His father’s name was Valentine Martin, and he had two brothers, William and Job. All three of these brothers moved to Cooper County, Missouri.

William and his family stayed in Cumberland County (later Monroe County), Kentucky until after 1820. Then he and his large family also moved to Missouri. Four of his sons were already married and had families of their own.

If anyone has further information about the father, Valentine Martin, please contact me. He was born about 1750, and his wife’s name was Mary.

How the County Seat of Moniteau County got its name


The following paragraphs were taken from:

A History of Moniteau County Missouri by J. E. Ford

Published by Marvin H. Crawford, 1936

Chapter XI Cities and Towns p.266

=========================================================

The city of California occupies a site officially selected for a county seat in 1845 when the county was organized. It was officially named Boonesborough, a name which was discarded in compliance with the postal authorities because of the existence of another Boonesborough in the state.

The original town of California, which had been in existence for ten years, was located about a mile east of the site chosen. Walter Garner established a blacksmith shop there in 1834. Shortly thereafter a saloon and residence were built by Samuel Hand and J. Anderson. At the log raising it is said that California Wilson, a brother of Mrs. Garner, offered the builders a treat of two gallons of whiskey, worth at that time 25 cents a gallon, if they would name the new town after him. Thus the name California. Several stores, another saloon, a hotel, a cabinet shop, and a carding machine were in operation before Moniteau County was created.

On account of its geographical location near the center of the county an attempt was made to have the county seat of the new county located at California. The county court, not being able to secure the land desired at a price they were willing to pay, selected a new site in a cornfield a mile west.

I am working on the next generation, William Martin’s grandchildren, and will be posting more as the work progresses. Please contact me if you want to share information. redbird ridge07(a)gmail.com.

Does anyone know where William Martin was born? His younger brother Jesse Martin was born in North Carolina in 1783, but I do not know where the family was in 1776, or in 1770 when Job was born. Happy searching!
