Biography
Martin Key II lived in Virginia.
Martin Key was born before 1705 ("Cavaliers & Pioneers, Patent Book 10, Page 164, 29 March 1705, Ambrose Libscomb, et al, sued for possession of land against others including John and Martin Key, orphans. William Ford, their guardian, opposed on their behalf. The court ruled in favor of the Key boys."[1]) in New Kent County, Virginia, to Martin and Elizabeth Ford Key. Son "Luck was one of seven children, born in Virginia about 1748 to Martin and Elizabeth Key. When Martin died, his children... Luck, William, Thomas and Jacob were declared orphans by the court and Elizabeth, their mother, made bond for their guardianship.... Deed records show that Martin moved to Amherst County, Jacob to Campbell County and William remained in Louisa County. Thomas and Luck went to North Carolina."[2]
Key West, a subdivision in Albemarle County, Virginia was apparently named for Martin Key. "The Key West subdivision is located one mile north of Charlottesville on Virginia, Route 20. The land is the west side of the property granted to Martin Key in 1731 by George II."[3]
