Most genealogy listings show Sir William Martyn (1446-1503) as the father of John Robert Martin (1516-1555). Note, however, that Sir William Martyn died 12 years before John Robert Martin was born? Did John Robert's mother (Christian Martin) remarry and have John by a second husband, only to later rename him?

Sorry to be slow to respond. John Martin (1516-1555) cannot be a child of William Martyn who died in 1503 as noted. His 2nd wife Christian Paulet did remarry (for the 4th time) but had no further children. I do not see this John in the Visitations of Devon in 1613:
