London Martin was born 12 Oct 1890 in Bowlingreen, KY to William Riley Martin (1859-) and Mary Cull (1872-). In 1900 His father was a Teamster and the family was living in Jeffersonville, IN. I am not 100% sure these are his parents, but the census records and other dates match up, but William is white.
I didn't find a Mugshot for London, but here is his clemency papers.
He enlisted into the Army 24th Inf 3rd Battalion, Company I, date unknown.
I made a tree for him on Ancestry hoping to connect him to his family.
