Biography

Comments

There is no evidence that I can find that these [Joseph Martin and Sarah Lucas] are the parents of John Martin. In fact, descendants of this John Martin and his son Anson Cook Martin (BTW, where did that Cook middle name come from?) are unsure. We do know that one of his descendants tested his YDNA, and this ancestor would be R1a, specifically tied to R-FTB64834 with two known YDNA matches, and a grand total of 10 matches. I also descend from a common Martin ancestor to John Martin, along with several other Williams men. We would love it is someone can provide us evidence of who John Martin's parents REALLY were.
