      According to the book, "Valentine Martin of Cumberland County, Virginia" by John R. Martin-

      Orson Martin, Sr., son of Valentine and Jane Martin, was born about 1735 (not 1710) in Goochland County, Virginia. He married Ann Forsee and evidently died on the portion of his farm that became Cumberland County, VA. He died before his Will was proved on 24 Jul 1786. The Will lists the following children:
      Sarah; Jane; Stephen born 9 Dec 1765 married Esther Boatright; John Martin born about 1767 married Elizabeth Boatright; Mary Martin born 1771; and Pastor Orson Martin, Jr. born 24 Jan 1776 married Elizabeth Sadler.

      Orson Martin, Sr. lived only in Virginia and didn't father a child named "Ganaway Martin".
