Genealogy And Historical Of the Martin family Of New England By Henry J. Martin. Boston


  • John Martin, II
  • Birth: Mar. 15, 1674 Swansea, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
  • Death: Nov. 3, 1757 Swansea, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
  • He married (1) MERCY HAYWARD 1701 in Rehoboth, MA. He married (2) MERCY THURBER April 4, 1713 in Rehoboth, MA.
  • Vital records state date of death at 1759.
  • He was of Rock River when he married Marcy Thurber and is not the John Martin of Rehoboth who married Mercy Billington. He resided in in Rehoboth, MA after his marriage where he resided until 1728 at which time he removed to Swansea where he died.
  • There is a Martin House in Rehoboth that is a museum. It was built in 1728 by John Martin II. This plot of land had been the site of a previous house of his dad, John Martyn /Martin that was burned by the Native Americans at the beginning of King Phillip's War. His dad, John, passed it to him. The farm originally included 100 acres of land. The Martin House is now closed due to lack of funds to keep it open. In this house is John Martyn/Martin's Bible and a staff he brought over from England.
  • In one genealogical piece about the staff it states:: "He supposedly designated that it was to go from 1st son to 1st son. However, when his first son Malatiah died and Malatiah's first son, Daniel, was very ill, Hannah, Malatiah's wife changed the tradition."
  • In the Snow-Estes Ancestry: The "staff which he willed to his son John, was also owned by Mr. Delancey Martin, but is now in The Martin House; it is a malacca stick, with an ivory head and silver band, on which is engraved the following monogram and date, "MM. 1728"." So this is open to wondering if it did indeed go to Malatiah and he put the date and initials on it. As John was dead before 1728. Further research should be done on this.
