Basic link to Bedford is provided by Information from Martin family Bible (see below). I would show him as a son of James (instead of David here) because James most likely had a son James, but was older. There is no proof that this James is a member of Davidson family 7, I am just basing it on location of birth and the name. Death information from Martin family Bible

Random thought: Seems like a James born in Bedford would be from Davidson 7 family.The age seems to match William. Maybe the James observed on the tithe is James born in NC. Maybe William went by William, but he was actually a Jr? Perhaps this is a son of David.

Note that son John James is living with a Crissp family in Madison County, Missouri in 1860 and 1870. This family was previously in Lawrence Arkansas (at least there is a John Crissup shown) so maybe Eliza is John's sister?

Martin Bible Record:
Welcome to the DAVIDSON/MARTIN Bible. There are 4 pages of family records relating to the DAVIDSON and MARTIN families. The Bible originally was the property of James DAVIDSON and his first wife Rebecca BILLINGS. His 3rd wife was Lucinda MARTIN (nee HILL) who was the widow of Masten Martin. When James DAVIDSON died in 1866, the Bible stayed with Lucinda who later passed it on to her children. There appear to be at least 3 different handwritings in the Bible. The first is James DAVIDSON, the next might be Azariah MARTIN (Lucinda's son) and the third ?
There is a note at the bottom of the first page which refers to the xerox copy and reads: Copied Sept 8, 1977 from the family Bible in possession of Ernest WEISS a g-grandson of Azariah MARTIN (living) Sept 8 1977 Flatwoods. The word (living) refers to Ernest WEISS (son of Mattie, daughter of Viana, daughter of Masten D. MARTIN) not Azariah. Ernest WEISS died in 1995 and I have no idea where the Bible is now.
Also it is important to know that there are TWO Azariah Martins mention in these Bible pages. #1. Azariah the Younger (1839 -1921) was the son of Lucinda HILL and her first husband Masten Martin. #2. Azariah the Elder (1764 -1834) was #1's grandfather for whom he was named.
This is a transcript of the original. The original I have is a copy of a copy, or possibly even a 3rd or 4th copy. The quality is pretty good although there are things that are hard to read. There is evidence in some areas that someone took the first copy and wrote over certain words to try and make them easier to read. This may have led to errors. In my transcript I have corrected the spelling of common words, but I have written names as they appear. In some cases the same person's name is spelled differently in different entries. I have no idea of which spelling is the "correct" one. This is most evident with Viana Jane MARTIN. Her name is given as Beranah and later as Vina. In census and marriage documents it is Viena, Vianna, or Viana etc.
Letters or numbers enclosed in ( ) are alternates for the preceding letter or number that was hard to read. Sentences that are enclosed in ( ) are comments ( in red ) that I have added for clarity and obviously are not on the original copy.
Although each page had a title such as Birth or Marriage, the entries are not in keeping with that order. Each page contains a little bit of everything.
Any entry followed by a large * is a person that I do not know. Nor do I know how or even if they fit into the DAVIDSON or MARTIN families.
Questions about all of the other people can be directed to me: Nancy Hill at this email address: joenan_hill@hotmail.com <mailto:joenan_hill@hotmail.com>. Please note that between joenan and hill is an underscore like this: _
