Thomas William Coskery included a petition related to the will of his sister in law - Margaret Martin - and in that petition he stated that none of the children of Angus Martin (Mary's father) had any children of their own, which confirms that the Thomas William Coskery, Jr., born 1841 in Ireland, is NOT the son of Mary Martin Coskery.

In the biography below of Angus Martin, it is believed that he was one of three brothers who emigrated to America from Scotland. One of his brothers was the John Martin who married Jane Martin, the daughter of Martin Martin and Isabel Graham of Taylor's Creek, Liberty County, Georgia.
According to Charles J. Martin, of Flemington, there were three brothers who came to this country with an old uncle. He thought the uncle's name was Henry. We have no further information about him. One of the brothers was our John who married Jane. Another was Angus Martin who settled in Augusta, and the third brother is unknown to us.
Angus, the brother of John, is buried in the Summerville Cemetery in Augusta. The following is copied from his tombstone. "Angus Martin, died February 10, 1847. A native of Scotland, emigrated to this country in early life, survived to a very advanced age. One of the oldest inhabitants of this community. For many years an Elder in the Presbyterian Church. A life of active industry governed by lofty principles of integrity, his exemplary Christian life secured to him the confidence and veneration of the people of God."
His wife's stone, next to his, simply states: "Mary, wife of Angus Martin. Born January 8, 1787, Died December 1, 1862." In the same lot are handsome stones to Margaret Martin, daughter of Angus, born March 21, 1821, died March 14, 1896, and to Mary Martin, sister to Margaret and wife of Thomas Coskery, born June 16, 1825, died January 23, 1896. The stone to Mr. Coskery states: "Thomas Coskery, born in County Down, Ireland, August 4, 1820, died April 22, 1907, for seventy years a resident of Augusta." There are tablets to these last three in the Presbyterian Church of Augusta. In the cemetery behind the parents' monuments, is a monument to Alexander Martin, born July 29, 1819, died, February 16, 1888. We have no other information about him.
Thomas Coskery, of Augusta, son-in-law of Angus Martin, in his petition to the Court of Richmond County states "That the heirs at law of the said Margaret Martin are the descendants of her uncles, Alexander, William and Daniel Martin." Alexander's descendants seem to have migrated to Atlanta and Montgomery. He then lists her uncle, John Martin, and his children, and then "Daniel Martin, the other brother of Angus Martin, who removed to the state of Mississippi." Evidently William Graham Martin replaced his father, John Martin, in the list of brothers first given, and then corrected.
In her will, Margaret, daughter of Angus Martin, of Augusta, writes: "I am now owner (by her father's will) of an undivided One-Third (1-3) interest in the Arlington Hotel in the City of Augusta, and of an undivided One-half (1-2) interest in the reality and improvements and furniture in and at my residence in the Village of Summerville with other personal property." This estate she left to her brother-in-law, Thomas W. Coskery. His wife, Mary Martin, died two months before Margaret died.
In his petition, Mr. Coskery, names among the possible "heirs at law": "8. That her uncle, John Martin, died leaving surviving him James Martin, William Martin, Henry Martin and Sarah Martin, all of whom are now dead. [This Margaret died March 11, 1896.] That of these children James Martin left no issue [wrong]. William Martin left surviving him Laura Martin, Mary J. Fleming, Joseph B. Martin, Sarah E. Frazier, Charles J. Martin and John E. Martin, of Liberty County, Georgia. That Henry Martin died leaving issue John H. Martin and Sarah M. Truelock, and that Eliza Martin died unmarried. That Sarah Martin died and left a daughter, Mrs. Rebecca J. Jove, of Quincy, Florida."
