From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY

A little northwest of the Heweys, on the same farm, another cabin was erected by David Martin, in 1797. He also came from Kentucky, but nothing further is known of him than that he once lived on this land. Neither Hewey nor Martin have left any descendants to preserve their name or record of their lives, and they are but dimly remembered by a few old settlers, who love to speak of those pioneer days which have passed away forever.
