Joseph H. Martin, the second son of Patrick H. Martin and Sarah T. Lee.
Joseph H. Martin was born March 22nd, 1845, in Maury County, Tennessee. He married Lucinda Hogan on December 27th, 1865, in Obion County, Tennessee.
Lucinda Hogan was born on February 23, 1843, in Parke County, Indiana. Her parents were Joseph Hogan and Ruth F. Timbermann.
Joseph H. Martin and Lucinda Hogan began their family in Obion County, Tennessee, but relocated in the late 1870's to Scott County in the country around Mansfield, Arkansas.
Joseph H. Martin was a well-to-do "farmer/stock raiser." Joseph and Lucinda belonged to the local Methodist Church in Huntington, AR. There is a street in Huntington named after Joseph H. Martin.
Joseph H. Martin had an active role in the Civil War.
He was a cavalry soldier in the Confederate Army of the War Between the States.
He actually joined the war effort before his marriage to Lucinda Hogan in Tennessee.
Joseph was assigned to Company K, 7th Kentucky Cavalry, under General Bedford Forrest. Joseph participated in the engagements at Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Shiloh, and was totally involved in the Atlanta Campaign.
Joseph H. Martin was with the Confederate Army at West Plain at the time of the surrender.
It has been said that Joseph H. Martin took his mule to War with him, kept him the total time he was engaged and brought the mule home when he returned.
Joseph H. Martin came home after the War to Obion County, Tennessee where he began to immediately court Lucinda Hogan. It is not quite clear whether this courtship had started before the war or not, however, Joseph evidently went to the Hogans' farm to spend Christmas because the couple was married on the 27th of December in 1865. It was some distance from his fathers' farm and the newly married couple had a long ride back to their new home.
The story goes that Lucinda was wearing a long dress with many petticoats, riding side saddle on her horse. It was just after Christmas, of course, and the couple had to cross a number of cold icy streams during their journey. Water splashed up on Lucindas' skirts and petticoats during the trip. When the newly married couple rode up to a farmers' house at night for food and accommodations, Lucindas' skirts and petticoats had ice on them.
Joseph and Lucinda got their start by building a log cabin. They slept on the dirt floor on leaves for a bed. Joseph had $3.00 in his pocket when they got married and it was said that he used it to buy hound dogs to hunt coons. He then skinned and cured hides for a living.
Joseph H. Martin died on March 3rd, 1925, in Mansfield, AR, and Lucinda Hogan Martin died on March 13th, 1915, in Mansfield, AR. They are both buried in the Mansfield city cemetery. Joseph H. Martin and Lucinda Hogan Martin had nine (9) children as shown below:
Sallie T. Martin, born April 5, 1867, she married J. Dee West
Fannie A. Martin, born April 28, 1868, never married
