Upon the death of Marie in 1936 in Bath, Georgia, Robert lived in Cuba, and both Dolores and Fannie in Jacksonville, Florida.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144267078/marie-j-perrin#view-photo=149348237</ref> |

The founder was Jose Antonio Martinez y Zaldivar, a wealthy man from Camagüey Cuba. He bought land in Columbia County in 1869 and named it El Cordero Ranch which Cordero means Lamb. His children were: Robert Martinez, Dolores Delgado, Fannie Martinez and Marie Perrin. Upon the death of Marie in 1936 in Bath, Georgia, Robert lived in Cuba, and both Dolores and Fannie in Jacksonville, Florida.[6]
On November 5, 1876, Marie Martinez married Mr. George Perrin at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Augusta, Georgia.[7] The 1880 US Census indicates George was a druggist and was 29 years old. Marie was 22, and they resided on Broad Street #1109. The couple had one son, Thomas Wright Perrin, born on August 23, 1885. El Cordero Ranch is now only 20 acres in size. His old hacienda and several buildings, barns and a water tower still stand off Old Ferry Road in Martinez (near the intersection of River Watch Parkway and Baston Road). It's private property not open to the public.
José Antonio Martinez y Zaldivar died on January 26, 1891, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, next to his wife Josefa Amalia Duque De Estrada y Varona who died on October 19, 1882 [8]
