... D 1. Thomas Martin, son of Major John, was born in 1776. He was only eight years old when his father moved from Virginia to Kentucky, yet he had learned at that time the multiplication table up to forty times forty, all of which had been taught to him by his mother. He was a very promising young man, but died single in 1804. ...
