Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    He was my Great Grandfather and currently I am researching him. I know He traveled alot and had quite a few children. My research is just beginning but as I go along I will add things. I know he was the son of Allen J Martin and Malinda Margaret Legg. I know he married Victoria Arney and had children with her, my grandfather Truman Allen Martin of Virginia being one of them. I know Farist's name had been spelled many different ways such as Forest, Forrest, Farris, and Farist. On his headstone it is spelled Forest Elisha Martin. I know he was born in Lee County Virginia, and died in Knoxville Tennessee. He was a coal miner and that is why he traveled. He went where the work was. I know he was in the Service and if I'm not mistaken it was the Navy, but I will have to research that more to be more positive of his term in service. I believe he died of heart disease and had issues from being a coal miner most of his life.
