About Col. John Martin, Sr.
Evidence needed to connect as son of Abraham Martin
Considering the confusion behind his identity, his parentage is considered uncertain on WikiTree. Therefore, I strongly recommend removing the relationship until solid evidence can be presented. In fact, I implore the curator to as soon as possible.

RE: John Martin (ca. 1683- ) and Letitia Lewis (parents unknown)
Copied by Kay K. Jordan from Anne C. Porcher, The Martin Family 1680-1934, copyright 1935. [Copy on file at the Jones Memorial Library, Lynchburg, VA.]This book is an update of Samuel D. Martin, Genealogical Record of the
Martin Family, 1857.]
NOTE: Material in square brackets [ ] represents comments and inserts by Kay K. Jordan.
In a section labelled Random Notes beginning on p. 40, Porcher wrote:
There has been much confusion regarding two prominent men named John Martin who were both in Virginia between 1680 and 1756; Col. JOHN MARTIN of Caroline County, who married Martha Burwell, and JOHN MARTIN, Gent. of KING WILLIAM county, whose wife was named Letitia.
Col. John Martin of Caroline County was Burgess of Caroline County, from 1738 to 1742, and has also been erroneously credited as being Burgess of King William County from 1732 to 1756. This, however, cannot be as he returned to England around 1750 and died in Ireland in 1760. Some say that it was his son John who was Burgess of King William county but references below will show that he had three sons, George, Samuel, and Lewis and no son named John, unless by a marriage previous to that to Martha Burwell. No such marriage has ever been mentioned.
Porcher's proofs:
Va. Mag. of Hist. and Biog. Vol. 13, 197-9, also Caroline County Records, Vol. 21, pages 249 and 372)
JOHN MARTIN (1683-1756) whose wife was named Letitia, owned land in King and Queen County, and must have been the John Martin who represented King William County or Burgess in the session 1752 to 1754, in which latter year he died and was succeeded by Francis West. John Martin had a patent of land on the Hardware River in Albemarle County, Va., Feb. 24, 1749 (Index of Surveyor's Book, Albemarle County Court).
(William and Mary Quarterly, Vol 2, Robert de Jarnette).
Thomas Turner was of King and Queen County and Hanover Parish.
(Va. Mag. of Hist. and Biog., Vol. 13, page 198).
JOHN MARTIN, made Justice of the Peace for Caroline County, 1732.
All records of King and Queen County have been destroyed, and those of Caroline County, except Court Proceedings. (Order Book).
(Hening's Statutes, Vol. 9, page 526).
"October, 1778. Whereas by the addition of said Parish of Washington to the Parish of Hanover, the present Glebe of the said Parish of Washington, will be in the said Parish of Hanover, it is just and right that the inhabitantce of said Parish of Washington should receive the benefits thereof. Enacted, that the Glebe land with appertenances be, and the same are hereby vested in JOHN MARTIN, John Washington, Thomas Turner and Beckwith Butler, Gents.
As both Col. John Martin of Caroline and John Martin, Gent., were both dead, this must be John Martin (1710-1787), son of John and Letitia Martin.
(Virginia County Records, Vol. 6, page 133).
JOHN MARTIN, Goochland, 1729 400 acres land grant.
JOHN MARTIN, Halifax, 1753, 1616 acres land grant.
(Rent Roll, Kingston Parish, Gloucester County).
JOHN MARTIN, mentioned, 1704
[Ann C. Porcher argues that a note in the William and Mary Quarterly
mistakenly identifies a tract of land advertised for sale in Halifax County
as belonging to Col. John Martin of Caroline County. She states: "This is
erroneous as it is now known that Col. John Martin of Caroline County had
left Virginia before 1750, probably before 1746, for in that year he was
made executor of the will of his brother George Martin in Dublin." She
subsequently argues that this tract of land probably belonged to Abram
Martin, noting that Cumberland Parish once included the area that later
became Halifax County]
(William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 13, page 205).
"Advertised for sale a tract of land in Halifax County, containing 1616
acres, plate, household furniture, some European goods, household goods just
imported a four wheel chaise, a pole chaise, some good old Madeira wine, and
many other things of value. To be sold at the late dwelling house of COL.
JOHN MARTIN in KING WILLIAM County.
JOHN MARTIN, Gent., (1683-1756), of King William County (wife Letitia) was
at the Abram Martin Plantation, June 13, 1755, according to his
daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Marshall Martin's letter to her brother, Thomas
Marshall. At the time Abram Martin was with Col. Washington at Fort
Duquesne. John Martin was ill at the time.
Abram Martin was a Vestryman of Cumberland Parish, 1746 to November, 1754.
After the French and Indian war he moved to South Carolina and was later
killed by Indians while looking at land in Georgia.
[Ann C. Porcher indicates that she believes that the Captain
John Martin, a sea Captain, May have been the son of Capt. John Martin
(1596-1673) who represented Lower Norfolk County, Va., in 1651 in the
General Assembly.]
(Va. Mag. of Hist. and Biog., Vol. 21, page 243).
In 1676, Capt. John Martin (a sea Captain) is ordered 28 pounds eleven
shillings and eleven pence out of Virginia's public money in England, by the
Grand Assembly.
(Va. Mag. of Hist. and Biog. Vol. 3, page 203) (Queries)
ROBERT MARTIN, born King and Queen County, 1738, Homestead both sides of
Metaponi River.
(Same Vol., page 276).
Capt. JOHN MARTIN had a grant of 4550 acres at Martin's Brandon, Charles
City County. This land was sold 1743.
GEORGE MARTIN and Lewis Wilden 160 acres, and George Martin singly 460 acres
in New Kent County, September 22, 1682. (No. 7, p. 192)
JOHN MARTIN had 307 acres in Charles City County, Oct. 28, 1697.
JOHN MARTIN 120 acres, on Beverly Run, St. Stephens Parish, King and Queen
County, February 21, 1720 (No. 11, page 51).
JOHN MARTIN, Jr., King and Queen County, 190 acres, July 9, 1724, (No. 12,
page 50).
[Ann C. Porcher comment "If this John Martin, Jr., is John
Martin, Gent. 1683-1756), it would appear that he was son of John, son of
Abram." My comment (KKJ) I will need to review this information in the
original article in order to interpret
- not a known child of William Martin, merchant of Bristol
- the same as Col. John Martin, Sr. ?
- not related to Joseph Martin, Sr., of Albemarle County
Not proven !
Joseph Martin had an older brother John, who according to FamilySearch died in King William, Va, very close to Isaac's 1720 patent. He also died in 1756 according to FamilySearch which is around when Isaac moved to Halifax as evidenced by his 2 patents there in 1759.
