Life

Robert Lumpkin Martin was born in Georgia on 1 April 1813, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 On 3 March 1836 he married Elizabeth Robbins, eldest daughter of Solomon Robbins Sr.; the Alabama marriage indexes give his name as Robert L. Martain, and the tree places the marriage in Benton County, Alabama.2 The federal census of 1860 listed R. L. Martin in the Southern Division of Coosa County with Elizabeth in his household, and the tree names fourteen children of the marriage, born between 1837 and 1862.3 He died in Coosa County on 28 July 1870, according to the tree, and is buried in Bethel Cemetery at Equality, Coosa County, where a Find a Grave memorial is indexed in his full name.4 His middle name is confirmed by the death record of his son Braxton B. Martin in 1950, which calls the father "R. Lumpkin Martin"; the records of three more of his children, Martha Caroline Harris (1915), Darius Sherwood Martin (1933) and Solomon Smith Martin (1934), also name him as father.5
