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

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.

I have found ancestors from Hemmingford Township, Quebec that were Presbyterian. It seems like this area was a base for them. This particular line was English, but given the times, it's quite possible that the people there were of various nationalities, gathered under the banner of Presbyterianism. The area, like Vermont, was settled before the Northern Tier of New York State, which really wasn't settled to any degree until a few years before the 19th century.
