General Notes: Husband - John Martin


He served in the Revolutionary War.
In 1796, he settled two 400-acre tracts in Parker Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, having previously re­sided some years in Westmoreland County. In the year mentioned, he came into Parker Township with his son Thomas, who was then about ten years of age. The two walked from Westmoreland County, carrying axes and guns. After they arrived here, they ate up all the provisions they had, and were three days with­out food. They hunted for game, but unsuccessfully, and were near despair and starvation, when another son of Mr. Martin arrived bringing supplies. In the spring of 1797, John Martin moved his family to the cabin which he had erected on the farm. For the first year or two, the family depended largely on game for their food. [HBC 1883, 404]
