General Notes: Husband - Hugh Martin

---

He came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, to North Beaver township, Lawrence County, in 1829, with seven sons and one daughter, using five horses and one wagon to transport his personal effects and property. The overland route, by which they came, took them many days and even weeks, and as the youngest child was but three years old, their emigration was filled with many trials. He bought a farm in the wilderness at what became known as Westfield Church, Lawrence County, and there he followed farming the remainder of his life. [BOBLC, 420]

He was a school teacher, surveyor, and farmer. A very well-educated man of his day, many successful men were among his pupils in the old log school house.
He and his wife both lived to be upwards of eighty years of age.
