Cousin Annie (Martin) Taylor (deceased) gave me the greatest help on this line. Another helpful cousin and researcher is Cousin Lucy Gay, niece of Annie Taylor, and Elizabeth (Martin) Culberson. Other Martin researchers who have been most helpful and a great encouragement to me include Paul Kelly (deceased), Joe Harness, Bobbi (Kirkland) Russell, and Jo (Bryson) Martin. Many thanks to all!

This site is dedicated to the memory of my mother Beulah Cline Nipper, a beautiful product of the Knobs.
