• - Note: the term "Jr." was not necessarily showing a fatner/son relationship, the term "Jr." was many times used to differentiate between two persons of the same name that were not necessarily father and son. "Sr." was normally given to the elder of the two persons, and "Jr." was normally given to the younger of the two to help differentiate them. In this case, Azariah "Jr." was the nephew of Capt. Azariah Martin "Sr.".
