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.

Hi Gerry, My Martin family is also from France. Joseph Martin born 1758 from Rodez france he was my ggggrandfather. I am not aware of any other french families he is related to since he came on a ship to fight the British. I wonder if there was any of his relatives came over before he did.?

This is my line. I believe that Jacob's father is Amox Martin of Union Co., SC, but not certain. All this line moved to Wilson Co., TN by 1810 where all Jacob and Mary (Polly) Wallace Martin's children were born. Jacob's brother, John Martin, died in Carroll Co., TN in 1825 and left a Will. The Cinthia Martin living next to Jacob and Polly, is the daughter-in-law of John, desc.. The widow of John's son, Jacob. My line is Telitha, daughter of Jacob & Polly. She died and her husband, William C. Moore married Charlotte Martin, Telitha's sister. They lived all their lives next door to Jacob and Polly Martin.

Darn.... not in my family. Have you by any chance joined the Martin DNA project? It may link you to many of your ancestors.

hi how are you i think my great grandfather was from pa his name was jacob martin and the year i remember is 1842

Mac, My Susannah Martin was born c1649 and died 3-4-1726. She married William James 12-10-1677.Her parents were Joseph Martin b:c1629 and D:12-24-1704.Mother Mary Coggeshall B: 6-22-1628 D: 9-2-1707 I only show one daughter. I believe her parents were John Coggeshall ,married possibly to Mary Sturgis. Susannah and William James had 8 children. Joseph--William my ancestor --William died 1 yr.old--John--Benjamin--Content--Sarah--Rebeccah. William and Susannah were both interred in the Coddington Cemetery on Farewell St , Newport,R.I. Notes from FTM. SHE MARRIED AFTER WILLIAM DIED BUT WAS BURIED WITH WILLIAM AT CODDINGTON CEMETERY IN NEWPORT,R.I. THE GRAVESTONE IS STILL THERE. BURR MAR 7 1726.As you go thru the gate at the center of Farewell St,Newport,R.I.;her grave is off to the left near the top.I think William is buried in the same grave.Years ago both names were visible but in the 1990's kids wrecked the stones. I base my conclusion that Mary Coggeshall was her mother because in her fathers will dated 6-8-1704 and proved 2-12-1705,listed Daniel Coggeshall Kinsman sole Exec.which was also wit. by John Coggeshall,son of John C.,Dec.The will stated that Mary was an aunt to Daniel Coggeshall.Witnessed by John Cory,Jonathan Nichols and John Anthony.Daniel C. was the executor. Mary was listed in her grandmothers will as living on 4-16-1645. She was baptized at Castle Headingham,Kent,England 6-22-1628. Notes on William James BORN ABT. 1639-1650 ,NEWPORT R.I. DIED 1697 [VIT. REC.OF R.I. 1636-1850 ,NEWPORT P.102]] THIS ONE, I AM SURE OF, THAT HE IS OURS BUT HIS BIRTHDATE IS CONFUSED.SOME HISTORIANS CLAIM 1639 WHILE OTHERS CLAIM 1650. HIS PROFESSION IS LISTED AS "TANNER". MARRIED SUSANNAH MARTIN,[ ARNOLD OP.CIT.,NEWPORT P.41 ,DAUGHTER OF JOSEPH MARTIN IN NEWPORT DEC.10 1677. died 1697 (James Newell Arnold,Vital record of R.I.. 1636-1850,Newport,p.102 ) BURIED ON FAREWELL ST., CODDINGTON CEMETERY IN NEWPORT.[AUSTIN,OP.CIT. ] His stone read,"here lieth the body of William James,Sen'r who died on October 19,1697.He is in section 16 I and my wife Ernestine saw the actual graves but when we made a visit to Newport.I found they were later destroyed by kids.What a loss. There is also a William James who around the same time married Rebeckah Easton born c1686--died 3 2 1730 ,prob.related to Gov.Easton.She had a son William also buried in the Coddington Cem in sect 36--died 4-21-1711 in his 7th month.There is also buried there other Eastons,John,James and others. I suspect our William and this William may have been cousins,which further makes me believe that our William's father was the William who was expelled from Salem Mass with Roger Williams,finally settling in Portsmouth,R.I.It would be logical that our Williams brother would honor his 1st born male with the name William.I don't know the name of this William's father. THEY HAD 4 SONS,WILL DATED 10 19 1697 , WHO THEY GAVE 90 ACRES EACH, OF LAND IN WESTERLY R.I. AND KINGSTON,R.I.

Encouraged with a major hit, hoping someone knows about my brick wall. My ggrandmother was born in 1836 in Delaware CO, OH. Name Elizabeth Antoinette Martin, she went by Nettie. She was living with a Gaston family in the 1850 census of that area. At about 16 she married a man named Wigton, had a child, Fred, husband died and she was in Iowa in 1860 census married to George Snyder. I know nothing about her parents, etc. Thanks to anyone with info, Bonnie
