The 1910 Census revealed that Martin was born in Tennesse but Elisha was born in Georgia so they must have moved to Mountaintown
after Martin was born (or he was born at his mother's home and then she joined John after his birth) in 1893 or at least before Elisha was
born in 1896. Then Mary and Lulu were born in Georgia but Edith was born in Tennessee in 1908 so they must have moved to McMinn
County between 1903 and 1908.
