General Notes: Husband - Robert Martin


He was brought by his father to America when only two years old. For some time he lived in Little Britain township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but later moved to what is now Boggs township, Arm­strong County, where he followed farming un­til his death.

He was born in Ireland and remained in that country until after his marriage. In 1828 he came to America, settling in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [HAC 1914, 827]
This family farmed in Lancaster County for twenty-five years, and after the children were all grown moved to Armstrong County, the father buy­ing the place in Boggs township later occu­pied by his son Robert in 1852. Game was still plentiful in the neighborhood at that time. There were few improvements on the prop­erty, and the house was an old log building, but under their industrious and energetic management it was transformed into a valua­ble farm.
