1. MARTIN5 Jr. ISLEY (MARTIN4, PHILIP3, MALACHI2, LUDWIG1) was born Abt. 1828 in Orange County, North Carolina, and died Bet. 1880 - 1893 in Alamance County, North Carolina. He married MARY "POLLY" COBLE. She was born March 1830 in Orange County, North Carolina, and died Bet. 1900 - 1910 in Alamance County, North Carolina.
Notes for MARTIN ISLEY from Rex Isley:
Malachi was one of the founders of St Paul`s Lutheran Church. Martin (senior) became a Methodist. To the best of my knowledge, all his children were Methodist. Many of the headstones at Mt Hermon are missing. I would suspect that Martin is buried at Mt Hermon with his father and brothers/sister. After the death of Martin the elder, Martin the younger probably lived in his Father`s house which was in Albright Township. In 1880, Martin was living in Newlin Township (Catherine was no longer living). After his mother`s death, the children probably sold the house and Martin had to move. Also during that period, our family lost much of the land it had owned prior to the war due to Yankee taxes. Ergo, I would expect to find Martin in a Methodist Cemetery someplace between Mt Hermon and Graham, if he is not buried at Mt Hermon with no headstone.
There is an 1893 map of Alamance County. This map shows where the prominent farmers lived. Martin is not shown on the map indicating to me that he was dead by that time.
