KINNEY Numerous pioneers of the sur- name Kenney or Kinney came to: Massachusetts with the Scotch-Irish immigration that began in 1718. There was also a branch of the family, gen- erally spelling the name Kinne in the early days, tracing their ancestry to Henry Kinne, born 1624, coming from Holland to Salem, Massachusetts ; his grandsons came to Pres- ton, Connecticut. In Windham and New Lon- don counties, Connecticut, there settled vari- ous branches of the Scotch-Irish families and in the adjacent county of Worcester, Massa- chusetts. Daniel Kenney or Kinney came with brothers, Jonathan and Theophilus, from Ul- ster province, Ireland, August 4, 1718, and after living a time in Salem and Danvers, came to Sutton, Worcester county, in 1720, and his descendants have been numerous and distinguished in this section. The brothers are said to have settled also in this section. (I) Joseph Kinney doubtless a relative of Daniel Kenney or Kinney, as it is known that he was son of a Scotch-Irish pioneer, was born at Plainfield. Windham county, Connec- ticut, in 1755, died June 3, 1841, in Sheshe- quin, Pennsylvania. He was a soldier in the revolution and his record appears in "Kulp's Families of Wyoming Valley." Unless his name is misspelled, however, his service is not recorded in the revolutionary archives of Connecticut. He was at Dorchester Heights during the siege of Boston in March, 1776, and earlier. He was in the Long Island cam- paign under Washington in the following summer, was wounded in the leg and taken prisoner, serving three months in the old pri- son ship "Jersey." suffering greatly. `He limped home on foot and afterward enlisted again in the northern army, taking part in the
battle of Saratoga, when Burgoyne surren- dered, October 17, 1777. He returned to his home in Plainfield, and in 1778 went with other Connecticut men to the Wyoming Val- ley, where he married Sarah, eldest daughter of General Simon Spalding. With his father- in-law and others, he removed to Sheshequin, Luzerne county, now Bradford, in 1783, and made his home there permanently. His farm there descended to his great-grandson, Hon. O. D. Kinney. In Wyoming he had been a school teacher, but in later life he followed farming. He built and occupied the second frame house built in the Valley.
He was appointed justice of the peace in 1701 for the Tioga district, and was one of the first county commissioners, being elected on the Federalist ticket in 1812. He was a well-to-do and influential citizen, progressive in his methods of agriculture. He was a life- long student, sound in judgment, logical in reasoning, and possessed of a remarkable memory. He had a profound knowledge of the Bible and delighted in the theological con- troversy. His home was the stopping place of all itinerant preachers. "Joseph Kinney," says Timothy Pickering in a letter to Gover- nor Mifflin, dated August 16, 1791, "was pretty early appointed a judge of the com- mon pleas, but fully expecting to remove to the state of New York, he sent to the court a letter of resignation, but I do not know that his resignation was ever declared to the execu- tive council. I believe it was not. He lived near Tioga. where Esquire Hollenback was sometimes present, and to which neighbor- hood Esquire Murray moved up from Shaw- nee. Mr. Kinney was disappointed in respect to the lands in York state to which he meant to go, and has remained in Luzerne." IIe sat as judge, June 2, 1789, for the first time.

The fact that the names George, James and William were favorites in the family indicates that most of the Hunters were likewise of the same family. The records of Maryland are not available for tracing the relationship, low- ever. One of the James Hunters lived in Anne Arundel county, another at North Susque- hanna Hundred, Cecil county, near Pennsyl- vania, and he was a man of years as shown by the fact that he had in his family three males over sixteen, one under that age and four females in 1790.

BATEMAN The Bateman family, repre- sentatives of which reside in New York City, also in Cen- tral New York, where they are highly re- spected for their many sterling characteristics, bearing well their part in the various duties assigned them, was founded in this country by Benjamin Bateman, a native of England.

the family, was born in Yorkshire. England, November 7. 1808, died in Hamilton. Madi- son county, New York, July 25. 1870, buried in Sherburne, Chenango county, New York. He was reared, educated and married in his native land.

He settled first in Oneida county, New York, where he devote 1 his attention to agricultural pursuits, an 1 later removed to Hamilton, Madison county.

( II ) William, son of Benjamin Bateman, was born May 25, 1841, in New York state. died in New York City in June, 1908, and his remains were interred in Kensico cemetery.

MARTIN The name Martin is of uncer- tain derivation. It is not only of frequent occurrence in the old world, but it became common in America from an early period, and may be found amongst the early settlers of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Virginia and other colonies. The name is variously spelled even in the records of the same family, as Martin. Martyn, Marten, Marttin, Marteem. Martain and Mortine. In nearly all the coun- tries of western Europe the name Martin is very common, and there is nothing in the name alone to determine the nationality of the family which bears it. The first of whom
record appears was Martin of Tours, a Nor- man, who made a conquest of the territory of Cemmes or Kemeys, in the county of Pem- broke, England, about 1077. Martin was the surname of the Lords of Cemmes for seven generations, when, by the death of William Martin, Lord Cemmes, the line became ex- tinct. The name of Martin was still kept up in Somerset by Robert Martin, a younger son of Nicholas Fitz-Martin, and doubtless by other younger branches of the family, and it is believed that from one of these younger branches are descended those of the name who came to New England.
There are no less than thirty-nine coats-of- arms belonging to Martin families and fifty to Martyn families in England. Some of these families have seats in Lockynge. county Berks ; Bowton, county Cambridge; Bodmin, county Cornwall; Athelhampston, county Dorset, and Long Melford, county Suffolk; Plymouth, county Devon. One of the coats-of-arms sim- ilar to many of the family is: Argent a chev- ron between three mascles sable with a bor- dure engrailed gules. Crest : A cockatrice's head between two wings. Motto: Initium sa- pientiae est timor Domini.
More than a dozen of this name came to New England before 1650. Christopher Mar- tin, who came in the "Mayflower," left no de- scendants ; the whole family was swept away by disease in the first infection. Richard Mar- tin, an early settler at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was one of the founders of the church there in 1671; deputy to the General Court, 1672-9 : speaker of the house, council- lor. 1680. He married, December 1. 1653, Sarah, daughter of John Tuttle, of Boston. He married (second) the widow of John Deni- son, daughter of Samuel Symonds; (third) Elizabeth, widow of Tobias Lear, daughter of Henry Sherburne; (fourth) Mary, daughter of Benning Wentworth. His wife died Janu- ary 2, 1693. Children of first wife: Mary ; Sarah; Richard, graduate of Harvard, 1680, died 1690 ; Elizabeth ; Hannah : Michael ; John, soldier in King Philip's War: Elias.
(I) George Martin, doubtless brother of Richard, mentioned above, came from Eng- land in the employ of Samuel Winsley about 1639. He was a commoner when he bought John Cole's rights in 1643, in Salisbury, Mas- sachusetts, and he was an original commoner and lot-layer of Amesbury in 1654-5. He took the oath of fidelity in 1646 and again in 1677.
