Richard came to the colony sometime between >1668 and 1689 and was married to Judith Upham. Going to start at the end of your message. Richard was married to Elizabeth SALTER per: 1. Melinde Lutz Sanborn, Supplement to Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., t1991), p. 46. [Her source: NEHGR 127:28]. "MARTYN, Richard & Elizabeth SALTER; m 9 June 1630 Ottery St Mary, co Devon." 2. Harriet W. Hodge, Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Descendants of the Pilgrims Who landed at Plymouth, Mass. December 1620: Edward Winslow - John Billington, Vol. Five (Billington section) (Plymouth, MA: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1991), p. 46. [Her source: Ottery Saint Mary Church, 1601-1837, p. 283]. "JOHN MARTIN, bp. Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire, England 20 Jan. 1652/3, d. Rehoboth 28 Aug. 1720; son of Richard and Elizabeth (Salter) Martin.[4] 3. Clarence Almon Torrey, New England Marriages Prior to 1700 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1985), p. 492. "MARTIN, Richard (-1694?, 1695?) (bro of Abraham) & Elizabeth SALTER (is this reliable?); 9 Jun 1631, b 1633; Rehoboth." Robert was married to Joanna UPHAM per: 1. Melinde Lutz Sanborn, Supplement to Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1991), p. 46. [Her source: NEHGR 127:28]. "MARTIN, Robert & Joanna UPHAM; m 16 Nov 1618 Ottery St Mary, co Devon." 3. Clarence Almon Torrey, New England Marriages Prior to 1700 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1985), p. 493. "MARTIN, Robert .... & Joanna UPHAM (1591-1669?) (sis of John); prob bef 1620...." As to the children of Richard and Elizabeth (SALTER) MARTIN, at this time I have only 2 issues listed for them. There may be more but I haven't stumbled on them yet. I have: 1. Annis/Anne/Agnes/ b. c1649 prob in Eng.- d. 1730 Barrington, Bristol Co. MA - now in RI. She married 1670 in Swansea Joseph/2 CHAFFEE. They are my ancestors. 2. John bp. 1653 Ottery St. Mary's Church, Devonshire, England - died 1720 Rehoboth, MA. His first marriage 1681 in Rehoboth was to Mercy/3 BILLINGTON and second marriage 1719 Rehoboth to Abigail READ. These are the only issue I have for them at this time. Richard was not only brother of Robert but of Abraham too. The CHAFFEE genealogy says on p. 21, in "book two of the Rehoboth Land Records... Richard Martin acknowledged having given to his son-in-law, Joseph Chaffee, 'ffourteen pounds estate in commonage,' in Rehoboth, which was given him by the will of his brother, Robert Martin." and Torrey, p. 492, says Richard was brother of Abraham. Probably the only sure source of issue for Richard and Elizabeth (SALTER) MARTIN are the church registries of Ottery St. Mary's Church, Devonshire, England. Any children for them would have had to be born before they immigrated because they were probably in their 50 and 60s. The LDS/FHC probably have the church registries on microfilm. You really have to be careful in any data/research done on any early New England Richard MARTIN for there were several Richard MARTIN progenitor/immigrants. Many many early sources have really mixed up on their Richard info by crediting info to the wrong Richards. --- Susan SGTAYLOR1@att.net My Genealogy Website - sgt http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/ ----------------------------------------------- USGW Mansfield, CT - http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctcmansf/ USGW New London, CT - http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctcnewlo/ USGW Norwich, CT - http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctcnorwi/ USGW Windham, CT - http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctcwindh/ USGW Coordinator Plymouth Co., MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~maplymou/ USGW Plymouth, MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~macplymo/ ********************************************************* > > >Bill Churchill > > > > > > > >==== MAPLYMOU Mailing List ==== > ====MAPLYMOU-L/D Mail List===== > +-+ Owners = List Members +-+ > =Administrator Frederick M.
