Many Canadian immigrants worked their way south through New England, living first in one or more places closer to Canada than their final place of settlement. Such seems to be the case with this couple. Martin King married Martha Redman 09-Aug-1857 at Lynn, where both then lived. He was 23, a blacksmith, born in Nova Scotia, son of Martin King. She was 21, born in Nova Scotia, daughter of ??? Redmond. The spelling of Martha's surname and that of her father appear to differ, and I can't quite puzzle out her father's given name. I will send you an image off-list. Dale H. Cook, Chief Engineer, Centennial Broadcasting, Roanoke/Lynchburg, VA - WZZI / WZZU / WLNI / WLEQ http://members.cox.net/dalehcook/starcity.shtml
