Note that Martin's son Phineas is mentioned in the will though he is not included in the list of children. This just solved a huge brick wall for me. Other genealogy sites give Phineas' birth as 14FEB1750 in Piscataway, New Jersey, and his death about 1820 in Woodbridge, New Jersey. He did settle in Ohio where his son Phineas died before 1MAY1816 in Huron County, Ohio (now the area of Bloomingvile, Erie County, Ohio). The elder Phineas is mentioned in the legal papers regarding his son's estate in Images on Ancestry.com.
