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.

Hello!

Just found your blog via Google search for Moses Martin. His daughter Melissa is my great great grandmother. I've been assisting my mother on her lineage and this has been very helpful to review.

Ann said...

Hi, Diane!...send me your e-mail address so I can get in touch with you. I'll be happy to send you the notes and information that I have on Melissa.

Moses daughter Melisa is my 3rd great grandmother. I descend through her daugher Aristine "Tenie" Bird Foster. Is this the same Melissa that Diane speaks of? She was married to Cole, Bird, Pitcher.

Ann said...

Hi, Kimberly! Yes, I presume Diane was talking about the same Melissa. She did not contact me again, so I don't have her e-mail address.
.....Your message cleared up a mystery...I had wondered if Aristine was the child of someone else besides Thomas Cole, but did not know about George Bird. Now I have found them in the 1870 census. All of the Cole children were listed with the name "Bird." No wonder they were lost!
.....Melissa and her daughter Aristine were listed with the last name "Martin" in the 1880 census, which I knew was not right, either. They were living with Melissa's mother Nancy (Burrus) Martin, so I guess that's why they were listed that way.
.....I did not find the marriage record for Melissa and George Bird. Do you know the date and place?
.....Another mystery is probably solved. I had a military service record for a Thomas Cole, showing that he died in August 1864. I didn't know if it was the same person or not. But if Melissa married George Bird about 1868 (from the birth date of their daughter), then it probably was the same Thomas Cole.
.....When Melissa married George Pitcher in 1883, she used the last name "Martin," so there still was no mention of the "Bird" name.
.....Thanks so much! Ann

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!
