Nicholas, son of Johanus Martin
When we retired to Shenandoah Co. VA in 1987 my wife and I decided to investigate the history of our house.We found the original owner of the property to be Nicholas and Elizabeth (Bonnet) Wetzel.After obtaining the land grant (signed by FAIRFAX) we found the site of their 16'by22'log house (dead center of their 304 acres) beside Pugh's Run and surrounded by incredibly rich soil.It is now a slight indentation but the limestone lined well is still descernable.We think Nicholas and his wife are burried in a graveyard now overgrown directly south of their homesite up the hill.
