Michael Martine and Susannah Holliocke, daughter of Edward of Rumney Marsh, were married by Governor John Endicott at Chelsea, Massachusetts, on 12 August 1656.[1]

Michael was a mariner and a publican. On 12 October 1669 Michael Martin, mariner, bought land nigh the new meeting house from Richard Martin. On 1 July 1678 Michael Martine was granted a license to keep a house of public entertainment. The license was renewed to 1682 when it was given to his widow.[2]

According to Mrs. William Cushing, the children of Michael and Susanna Martyn were the following, all born in Boston:[3]

  1. Michael Martine, born 10 Feb. 1659;[4] d. 14 Feb. 1660.
  2. Prudence Martine, born 26 March 1662;[5] d. 31 July 1662.
