MARTIN FAMILY.
" Martin (Plymouth, Co. Devon ; originally from Kent. Capt. John Martin of this family went round the world with Drake in 1577.) Gules on a chevron or, three talbots passant sable. Crest- on a globe or, a falcon rising argent gorged with a dueal coronet."
621
HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.
The ancient arms of the Martin family were, " Argent, two bars gules. Crest-out of a mural crown vert, a talbot's head, eared and langued gules collared of the first. Motto-Sure and Steadfast."
The name of Martin was adopted as a surname, at a very early date, and few names have had greater numbers to bear them. The earliest record containing it, which has attracted the attention of the author, is the " Roll of Battle Abbey," on which the name of " Le- Sire de S. Martin," appears. Battle Abbey was dedicated to St. Martin, and the date of its " Roll" is A. D. 1066. The name was not only numerous on the other side of the water, but it has been the same in this country from its first settlement. There was a William Martin at London, Eng., who assisted the Puritans in preparing for their voyage to Plymouth Rock, but it does not appear, that he him- self came to this country. John Martyn, afterward Capt. John Martyn, or Martin of Plymouth, and son of -- Martin of Bridge- town near Totness, who had male issue living at that place in 1620, sailed round the globe with Sir Francis Drake, leaving Plymouth, Nov. 15, 1577, and returning to the same port, Sept. 26, 1580.
Christopher Martin, his wife, son Christopher, and one other, whose name is not given, came over in the Mayflower in 1620, but they all died during the first winter. Others of the name, however, came in almost every company for some years. They settled in various parts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia and other colonies. John, William and Samuel seem to have been favorite Christian names in the family. Two of the former name went to Virginia in 1635. John and wife Sarah were at Boston in 1643, another John at Dorchester in 1666, and still another at Chelmsford in 1665. William Martin of Reading, Mass., was made a freeman, May 18, 1655. There was a William of Groton, Mass., who d. in 1672, a. 76. There was an Anthony Martin at Middletown, Conn., m. Mary Halle, had ch., Mary, John and Elizabeth, and d. in 1693. There was also a William Martin of the same place.
It is proposed in this account to trace only the descendants of William Martin, or William Seaborn Martin, as he is familiarly known by his descendants, who was first of Stratford, and afterward of Woodbury. The tradition in the family is, that this William's father emigrated from Plymouth, Eng., and that this son was born on the passage to this country. But every person, who has had any experience in genealogical investigation, well knows how little reli- ance can be placed on such legendary information. It may have been the case ; the story is thoroughly circulated among his descend-

ants, and as confidently believed. There was a Robert, who lived some years in New Haven, and had ch., John and Stephen, baptized there before his removal from that place some time previous to 1655. It is possible, that this Robert had a son, William, born as the story indicates, who at maturity found his way to the neighboring town of Stratford, and thence with the early settlers to Woodbury. There was a Samuel Martin of Wethersfield, who m. in England, wid. Phebe Brace, or Bracey, a dau. of William Bisby, merchant of London, and came over with his wife and her ch., by her former husband, about 1650. It is not impossible, that this lady gave birth to a child on the voyage, whom she called William from the name of her father, and Seaborn from the circumstances of his birth. Another circumstance in favor of this supposition, is the fact of William's marriage in 1685, which would make him according to this theory, about twenty-five years of age at that date. an age when he might be expected to form this connection. The records of Wethersfield show no birth of any child of Samuel, as might be expected, if Wil- iam was born on the passage over, and the parties had no other chil- dren. This was a second marriage, and the parents were probably somewhat in years. Wethersfield furnished many inhabitants for Stratford, and this would account for his appearance there.
William Martin? and his wife Abigail, were admitted to the first church in Woodbury, on their removal there, Aug. 30, 1685. She was the daughter of Jonathan Curtiss, of Stratford, and b. Oct. 17, 1671. They were m. June 25, 1685, when she was about fourteen years of age. Their first child was born in the twentieth year of her age.1 He died July 4, 1715. His widow survived him some twenty years, and died Jan. 4, 1735. . He was buried near the center of the old burying-ground in Woodbury, and a coarse native stone, on which was chiseled, " W. M., July 4, 1715," was set up at the head and foot of his grave. These stones have been removed in digging other graves, and now lie on the ground near the place of their original location. His children were.

1 There have been many instances of earlier marriages than this. I am informed by a friend, that there has been an instance in Roxbury within a few years, where a mother and her child were both in the list of children entitled to draw school money at the same time. As none are entitled except children between the ages of four and sixteen years of age, it will be seen in this case, that the child must have been more than four and the mother less than sixteen years of age.

This individual had seventeen children by one wife, three of them at a single birth. These were daughters, all of whom married and had children. It was regarded as a remarkable occurrence, and as he was a man of moderate means, lie petitioned the General Court for aid in the support of his family, but it was not granted. The petition is a curious document, and is given entire, as follows :
" To the Honble Gen" Assembly ofthis Majesties Colony of Connecticut in New England in their Session at Hartford in May, 1736.
" The Humble memorial of Sam" Martin of Woodbury May it please your honors
" Whereas the Glorious and Supream Governour of the World has Given me reason to Sing both of Mercy & of Judgement In that He hath blessed me with a numerous posterity & has particularly of Late increased the number in an nncommon manner, my Wife this Spring being delivered of three daughters at a birth, which made my number thirteen, and all living, healthy children ; And yet it hathe pleased the same Providence to lay me under some Considera- ble disadvantages to support my family ; for I have been by a sore Wound in my hand considerably disenabled to labour ; My Eldest Son now in his seven- teenth year, by a double breach in his thigh is like to be a Criple all his days. My wife since her lying in inclining much to a Dropsy, & unable to take the care of the family as formerly ; and having this Spring also lost two new Milch Cows, on which we had considerable dependence for the support of my family, & especially my infants, I am hereby reduced to considerable straits & scarec know how to support the charges Providence hath laid upon me. And there having been but one Instance of this nature in the Colony heretofore, vizt of Squire Curtis in Stratford. And hearing what the Charitable Disposition of the Honble Assembly was in that case to that Gentleman, together with the many Instances the Hon We Assembly have given of their readiness to help and relieve such as are in want, I have hereby been emboldened and encouraged to Lay my Case in the foresd broken manner before you. And would Now Humbly Intreat
