Notes:

I am still looking for more information on George and Pheby Martin. I have looked at several court and land records of the 1790s in Knox and Hawkins counties. Knox county was established from Hawkins in 1792, so I went back into Hawkins county and did some research and didn't find anything on George so far. I did find an account of the sale of George's estate in 1826, the final amount was $201.79-1/2, exe. was Samuel Martin. (Source: Knox County Estate Book 4, pg 96, FHL mf. no. 851-076). On page 130 was a list of men who were part of the final settlement. Among those listed were James, George, Samuel and John Martin. I was hoping to find a marriage for George and Pheby but no luck. Will keep on looking. Audrey (from GenForum).

Notes:

Philip Letsinger - Philip, son of Phillip, was born about 1769, probably in Frederick County, MD; this date is derived from his second wife's pension records (which are in the National Archives) in which Philip's doctor states that Philip was about 70 years of age when he died in 1839. According to marriage records of Bedford County, VA, on July 27, 1789, Philip obtained a bond to marry Ann Pettit, probably a daughter of Lewis Pettit. From the Will Book 2, page 124, of Bedford County, VA, on January 29, 1791, Philip Letsinger was a witness to the signing of the will of William Boyd. At a Court held for Bedford County on January 27, 1794, William Boyd's Last Will and Testament was proved by the oath of Philip Letsinger and other witnesses whose names were thereunto subscribed. For the years 1805, 06, 07 and 09, Philip is listed in "Washington County (TN) List of Taxables". His name is spelled Phillip Letsinger, Phillip Letsinger, Philip Letsinger and Phillip Letsinger, respectively. Next, in October 1810 in Knox County, TN, marriage records, Philip was listed as a bondsman. On April 5, 1823, Philip Ledsinger deeded land (amount not stated) to Baptist Church Trustees for a Baptist Church and Graveyard on Hickory Creek, Knox County, TN. This and the following three land transactions may be found in "General Index to REAL ESTATE CONVEYANCES, Knox County, Tenn., from Beginning to Dec 31, 1931." On November 7, 1826, Philip Letsinger received 31 acres of land from his son John Letsinger. On November 6, 1838, Philip obtained a bond in Knox County, TN to marry Elizabeth Shinpock. On November 10, 1838, Philip Letsinger deeded two tracts of land in Knox County to Henry Shinpoch (his son-in-law). Also, on the same date in Knox County, Philip deeded 100 acres of land to his son David (Daniel) Letsinger. According to the pension records of Elizabeth Shinpock Letsinger (her pension was based on her first husband's (Henry Shinpock) service and death during the War of 1812), her second husband Philip Letsinger died in June 1839 and was buried at Hickory Creek Meeting House, Knox County, TN. Based on census, marriage and probate records, Philip's children were: Elizabeth Rebecca, John, Sarah, Mary Alice, Frances, Philip, Susan, Daniel B., Lewis Pettit, Allen, and Jacob, all by his first wife Ann; there were no known children by his second wife. Except for Jacob, all of these named children are known to have grown to adulthood. Except for Frances, all of these named children were married. (from John Shinpaugh)
