Samuel# Martin

  Notes:

NB are descended from TWO of his sons due to cousins marrying later down the line.

From Jeremy Archer research;
"According to the Martin Papers in the British Library (Additional Manuscripts 41474-5) the earliest known member of the family was JOSIAH MARTIN, who came from Scotland and accompanied Sir Arthur Chichester, later Lord Deputy of Ireland, to Ireland in 1599. His son JOSIAH MARTIN was elected a Freeman of Belfast and had a son GEORGE MARTIN of Whitehouse, near Belfast, who was elected a Burgess of Belfast on 30 Sep 1645 and appointed Sovereign of Belfast (the term then applied to Mayor) in Jun 1647. When George Martin refused to billet Ireton's soldiers in 1649 he was evicted from his house with his wife, seven sons and one daughter. There was a lengthy correspondence lasting from 1762 to 1800 in the Martin Papers between Samuel Martin of Whitehaven (see below) and his cousins Sir Henry Martin, Bt and Samuel Martin, Junior, of Greencastle, Antigua. See MARTIN of LOCKYNGE, Baronet - Burke's Peerage. It appears that the Baronet's family descended from the eldest son of George Martin of Whitehouse while the youngest son is" ....this Samuel Martin.

According to Anne G-P he was called John Martin of Jamaica and born in 1637.
Also says something about St Elizabeth Parish and Chesterfield Estate.
HOWEVER Jeremy Archer has him as Samuel Martin, more inclined to believe Jeremy!

From JA research; Merchant of the parish of St. Michan, Dublin (according to baptism entry of his daughter Lettice).

http://www.turtlebunbury.com/family/bunburyfamily_related/bunbury_family_related_martin.html says "In 1735, 30-year-old Thomas Bunbury, High Sheriff of Carlow, married Catherine Campbell, third daughter of Colonel Josias Campbell and his wife Lettice. Lettice Campbell (1682-1757) was the youngest daughter of Samuel Martin, a merchant from Dublin and a parishioner of St Michan’s Church. His great-grandfather, Josiah Martin, came from Scotland to Ireland with Sir Arthur Chichester, later Lord Deputy of Ireland, in 1599. Samuel’s grandfather, also Josiah Martin, was a Freeman of Belfast in the reign of James I. On 30 Sep 1645, Samuel’s father, George Martin of Whitehouse, near Belfast, was elected a Burgess of Belfast. In June 1647, he was appointed Sovereign of Belfast (the term then applied to Mayor) but, when he refused to billet Ireton’s soldiers in 1649, he was evicted from his house with his wife, seven sons and one daughter. Samuel, the youngest of the seven sons, was married on 14 July 1679 to Mary, a daughter of Sir Richard Carney, Ulster King of Arms, by his marriage to Lettice Tallis, a daughter of Thomas Tallis, Muster-Master General of Ireland]. Samuel was buried in St Michan’s on 14 June 1720.
