While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there could be
some typographical errors
| TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES :
Isaac
Martin married Sarah Martin in Harbour Grace September 6, 1818. At this
time I do NOT know the parents of either and have not managed to connect
them directly into my Martin line from Harbour Grace. Not mentioned in
the document was son Isaac who was born in 1833. He died before his
father in 1837.
Daughter
Amelia married Joseph Snow in Harbour Grace in February 1841. Daughter
Susannah married Henry Martin in Harbour Grace in December 1853. Henry
was probably the son of Francis and Jane Martin. The late researcher David Nightingale with two Martin connections once noted in frustration that Martins married Martins and sometimes Snows. I personally see no reason to dispute this with the results of my own Martin research!! |
