Hello,

I am trying to find my great-great-great-grandfather's (John Martin) parents' names. I believe John Martin was born in Garrard, Clay, Kentucky but have had no luck with census records or birth records. Any ideas on how to find John's parent's names? Here is what I have so far.

Billy Cornelius Martin (my father) b. 3.4.1932 - d. 9.18.1982 William C. Martin (grandfather) b. 1910 - d. 1939) Charles August Martin (great -grandfather) b. 1867 - d. 11.22.1922 William H. Martin (great-great-grandfather) b. 01.27.1931 - d. 06.6.1909 John Martin (great-great-great-grandfather) b. 1807 - d. 1865
