On June 14, 1829, in Warren County, Tennessee, Martin JOHNSON married Mary Ann "Polly" WARREN(?) Hawk. Polly was born between 1774 and 1780, possibly in Surry Co, North Carolina, and was possibly the widow of Jacob HAWK who owned land in Warren Co, Tennessee by 1812 when he appeared on the Warren County tax list returned by Benjn. LOCKHART, and who had also been a near neighbor of the JOHNSONS, Combs and PAINES. Jacob HAWK had died in Warren County in 1828 or early 1829, as noted below.
In 1830, Martin JOHNSON was listed on page 363 of the Warren County census with a complex and confusing household - undoubtedly the result of his marriage to Polly WARREN Hawk. It appears that some of each of their children from their earlier marriages were living with Martin and Polly, and that others may have been living in the households of siblings, both HAWK and JOHNSON, and thus far, deciphering the various statistics has been nigh to impossible:
1830 Warren Co, TN Census, P. 363, Line 21:
Martin JOHNSTON 00010001-0111000101
1 male 15-20 Jesse Hawk, 18? Thomas Murrell Johnson, 19?*
1 male 50-60 Martin, Johnson, Sr, b 1776-1780
1 female 5-10 Eliza Johnson, 6? Lucinda Hawk, 10?
1 female 10-15 Nancy Johnson, 10? Nancy Hawk, 14?
1 female 15-20 Sarah Johnson, 15?** Lydia Hawk, 16?
1 female 50-60 Mary Ann 'Polly' WARREN? Hawk Johnson, born
1774-1781?
1 female 70-80 UNKNOWN
(US Census, 1830, Warren Co, TN, Sistler, Nashville, TN)

Note: The many questions regarding the identities of the children in the above household will be
addressed at a later date. However, it is possible that son Thomas Murrell JOHNSON* had
already married Sarah McMURRAY and was in his own Warren Co, TN Household (add'l in
regard to this to be added later), and that daughter Sarah JOHNSON** had already married
Nicholas COUNTS and gone on to Arkansas. The identity of the elderly female in the household
is interesting because of both the 1820 Warren Co, Tennessee and the 1840 Madison Co,
Arkansas census records (See below).
Martin and his second wife, Polly, remained in Warren County, Tennessee until about 1832 when
they removed to Richland Creek, now in Madison, but then in Washington County, Arkansas,
joining some of their children who had gone ahead, and leaving others behind, although additional
of those would also later remove to Northwest Arkansas.
