• JOHN MARTIN, our ancestor, came from England to America. He was born about 1618 and died in Piscataway, New Jersey July 5, 1687. In 1646, in Dover, NH, he married ESTHER/HESTER ROBERTS born about 1628 and died December 12, 1687. She was the daughter of the first Governor of New Hampshire, THOMAS ROBERTS and REBECCA HILTON.
• For almost 100 years the parentage of JOHN MARTIN has been erroneously given, over and over again, as descending from ISAAC MARTIN in New England. It has been copied and reprinted so many times, everyone assumed it was fact. However, upon close inspection of the original material, it is very obvious to be pure guess work. .... etc.

• (1) Of Isaac Martin but little is known beyond the fact that he lived at Rehoboth from 1644 to 1646. As there were no Martin descendants of either Abraham or Robert we infer that we owe our parentage to Isaac.
• The Middlesex Court shows that "John Martin" gave evidence at court, April 15th, 1658, relative to Paul Wilson engaging the affection of his cousin Pricilla Upham. If John and Pricilla were cousins, Elizabeth, the wife of Deacon John Upham, must have been a sister of Robert, Abram and Isaac, and John must have been Isaac's son.
• Richard was the brother of Robert, Abram and Isaac and came to New England to take possession of the property left him by the will of Robert.
• The date of his arrival is not known, but it is probable that he, with his son, John, came over about 1663.
• June 1st, 1689, he was appointed as surveyor of highways for Rehoboth.
• Richard advanced 1 pound, 5 shillings, 4 pence, to sustain in carrying on the war against the Indians, under King Phillip.
• He died May 2nd, 1694, leaving his property to his sons. John, Francis and Richard, Jr., and two daughters, Annie and Elanor.
• (2) John Martin (son of Isaac Martin) immigrant ancestor of this branch of the family, died July 5th, 1687. He was of Dover, New Hampshire, 1648-1666. Piscataway, New Jersey, 1666-1676, and Woodbridge, New Jersey, 1676-1687. His wife was Hester Roberts, daughter of Thomas Roberts, who settled in Dover, N. H., in 1823, and was called "Governor" of the state in 1640, the Colonial Government not being very definite or certain.
• John Martin was one of the original grantees of Piscataway, N. J., in 1666.
• (3) Thomas Martin, born 1659, died 1715, was the son of John and Hester (Roberts) Martin of Piscataway, N. J. He married, April 28th, 1683, Rebecca Higgins (daughter of Richard and Mary Higgins). Their family: John, Sarah,
• http://archive.org/stream/genealogyofmarti01infran#page/16/mode/1up
• Samuel, (Isaac), Gershom, Jacob, Rebecca, Zachariah, Anne, Jeremiah.
• Thomas Martin died in Woodbridge Township. In his will dated, Nov. 29th, 1715, he calls himself Yeoman of Woodbridge, Middlesex County.
• Of the above children of Thomas and Rebecca Martin, John married Temperence . . . . and had at least Sarah and Rachel.
• Samuel married Sarah . . . . Their children: Thomas and Samuel.
• (4) (Isaac) married Hannah, leaving a will dated April 24th, 1730, probated July 19th, 1733, leaving a wife, Hannah, and children Abraham, (Isaac) and Jacob.
• Gershom married . . . . Their family: Eliakim, Daniel and Joseph. No further record of these families.
