General Notes: Husband - James Martin
He was born in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, on the family homestead, and bought a farm in Wilmington township, when he set up in life for himself. He was a cattle-drover early in life, but as his years advanced devoted his time and attention more and more to agricultural operations, dying at the age of sixty-one, from tuberculosis. He was a Whig and later a Republican and an active Abolitionist. In his religious preferences, he was a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
He received a good education in the district schools, and when a young man inherited from his father the farm in Washington township of 126 acres. He held this place for five years, during which time he put it in first-class shape, and was able to realize handsomely from it, when he finally disposed of it to his son, William C. Throughout his life he was a prominent citizen, and took a live interest in all affairs of a public nature. On the question of human slavery, he was a pronounced Abolitionist, and his voice was ever raised in behalf of the black slave. He was a sincere Christian gentleman, and was for years an elder in the United Presbyterian Church.
