In order to learn the situation between the Martin's and the Huguenots you are going to have to study the history of the Huguenots and the form of religion that got them into trouble. Rev. William Martin brought 3 shiploads of Presbyterians into South Carolina and started a movement for Freedom of Religion in the Colonies that cost the British the Revolutionary War. That war in South Carolina really was about freedom of Religion....not tea or taxes. A succession of queens and kings (Mad King George) wished for the Church of England's or Angelicans to be the only religion in Britian. The throne betrayed the Presbyterians who supported her in England and Ireland. They eventually offered the Presbyterians (all over 16 yrs) sections of land in the colonies if they would just leave, which many of them did. It didn't take long for the Angelicans to move into the SC inlands to once again persecute the Presbyterians who'd just about had all they could stand of the Angelicans. At one point at a meeting house an Angelican minister was preaching his sermon when the local presbyterians took a bunch of their hunting hounds into the meeting house to raise such a ruckus the Angelican had to stop his speech. He later wrote that it would have done him no good to try to continue since the justices in the area were also Presbyterians. It's all documented. Later during the War of the Revolution the southern front came into play later in the War. It has been written that the hit and run tactics of the Carolinian's did more to advance the cause of freedom in 6 months than General Washington had done in three years. Tarleton and Cornwallis sure didn't know how to handle the ambush tactics of those hardy southern men.

Hi, here is a link that covers most of the "dit" names originating in French Canada. I have found it pretty comprehensive. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~afgs/index1.html Cheers.

Her father was 1st Lt Francois Martin-Pellend who fought on the Colonist's side during the American Revolutionary War in a French Canadian Regiment. He was killed in battle in Fishkill, NY in 1778. Martin is the family surname, Pellend is the "dit" name and is related to the place in France where the family originated from. My French GGGrandfather was Cassimer Rochelle. My problem in tracking down his family is that he took as his last name the "dit" name and not his family name(believed to be Gautron). There are 14 other French surnames associated with Rochelle, like Bonnet and Bouton. After the American Revolutionary War the number of French Canadians emigrating down into America increased significantly. In order to blend into American society as early as say 1820 many French Canadians either dropped their family surnames or the "dit" name.

Any Martins found in Vermont, or any of the other states or territories bordering Canada in the 1700s or 1800s are just as likely to be of French Catholic or French Huguenot ancestry as English. Greater New York (New Rochelle in Westchester County) to Philadelphia or Virginia and North Carolina were areas where the French Huguenots(Protestants) settled. Many prominent French Huguenot families fled France to England after the Catholics attacked in killed thousands of Protestants in France and then emigrated to the then English Colonies in America before the American Revolutionary War and continued to come afterwards. Also remember the Louisiana Territory was a French Territory before America bought it and when the British controlled New Orleans, the French Arcadians were forcibly removed from what is now Nova Scotia and relocated to New Orleans, otherwise known now as Cajuns. So if you hit a brick wall in your genealogy search, it might be you're not looking in the right direction. What may sound very much like an English Martin family tree may suddenly turn French.

Not even a familiar dit ! Not a single clue in any of these wonderful possibilities ! My John Martin, born abt. 1801, told the 1860 census-taker that he was born in Sussex co. NJ,and his father was from Ireland' John was in Northumberland, Saratoga co, NY by the age of 10 and lived there until he died and was buried at Brownsville Cemetery in 1884. John was a Methodist and likely a Huguenot. I'd sure like to find some parents for him. trulim

Ed, What you say is true, some of the Martins in the North Country may well be of French Extraction, but the Martin line that settled in South Hero, Vermont and spred to Plattsburgh and other towns in Clinton County, New York were definitely from Baptist stock. This is well documented. On my mother's side of the family, everyone is French - and yes, they all had roots in Quebec first. Many people angilcized their names, as French-Canadians weren't all that popular in those days because they were Roman Catholic. There was, when I was a boy, a very stong presence of French speaking people in Malone - Franklin County, as you no doubt know. My maternal grandparents spoke only French at home and we were "more than encouraged" to answer them in like manner. There is a chance that some of the Martins are French as you state yours are, but the records seem to indicate that the greatest influx of Martins in Vermont and New Hampshire came from Rhode Island - definitely not French or Catholic. It doesn't hurt to keep an open mind, but one should also look at the facts.

I am looking for any information about a Mariam/Miriam/MaryAnn MARTIN who was born about 1814 in NY, I believe. Her husband was from VT, so that could also be a possibility. Mariam MARTIN married Emerson PRESTON/PRESSON, and lived in Palermo, Oswego, NY. I find a Levi MARTIN (1812-1890) living in the same area, so he might be a brother to Mariam. Emerson had been married earlier to Polly BROOKS, but I believe she died at an early age. Emerson was born in 1793, so he was about 21 years older than Mariam. Mariam died in 1888. I am hopeful that someone will know this branch of the MARTIN family. Thanks, Nancy

Mac, Was your Robert Martin immigrant by any chance related to the Robert Martin who came to the MA Bay Colony in 1635 with Rev. Joseph Hull? The 1635 Robert was from Ottery Saint Mary Parish in Devon, England. Does Cutter say that the Samuel Martin you mention was related to your Robert Martin? I was not aware that there were Martins in Wethersfield, Connecticut circa 1650. Churchills first arrived in Wethersfield around 1630. Do you know if Robert and Samuel were non-conformists? Regards, Bill Churchill -----Original Message----- From: Casa Del Luna [mailto:sharmacvilla@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 12:45 PM To: martin@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MARTIN] Martin families Norman, This is something from my files: "According to William Richard Cutter, the Plattsburgh Martin line descended from either Robert Martin, an immigrant from England who settled in New Haven, Connecticut, prior to 1655 or Samuel Martin, who immigrated circa 1650 and settled in Wethersfield, Connecticut. [1]" As you can see, this was published in 1910. I have found mistakes in other Cutter research, especially that of Martha's Vineyard, and I suspect he was wrong on this, as well, as I have traced the Martin line I have to Freetown, Mass.circa 1722 and , if I recall correctly, Rhode Island was a part of Massachusetts in those times. I have a hard time believing that they settled in Connecticut, as Cutter claimed.

Nathan Martin was born in KY abt 1801. The children of his first marriage were all born in KY. By 1850 Nathan and at least two of his sons and their families were in Texas County, MO. His wife does not appear on the 1850 census with him. In 1870 Nathan is married again, and has fathered two more children. In 1880 he is still married to wife #2, and has fathered a total of 4 children with her, as well as a stepson James. I'm including a descendant chart to make it easier........if anyone has any connection with any branch of Nathan's family please get in touch with me at elaineoneill1948@gmail.com. I'm descended from Nathan's eldest son, William, and William's daughter Roxanna.
