A Journey Through Time

In the early 1700’s, a wave of immigration swept the eastern shores of what would ultimately become the United States Of America -with the help of some people named Martin. This book follows the bloodlines of two families as they set out against insurmountable odds in search of something that, until the move west, was just outside their reach. Freedom Glain E. Martin tells this story of the two families of Scots-Irish descent that faced incredible adversity and oppresion with iron will and steadfast faith. They succeeded in helping to form the greatest nation the world would ever know. Telling the story of a family requires gathering a lot of information. Glain Martin spent nearly half his life doing just that. You are holding the result of thirty years of painstaking research into the Martin and Hodgson lineage. This book was completed just two months prior to Glain’s passing in March, 2009. His was a story rich with history, adventure, trial and perseverance. Combined with his love for family and passion for ancestry, it’s not surprising he told this story so well. Enjoy it, and pass it on.
