Notes

From writings by her son, Colonel James Martin: "My father, Hugh MARTIN, was born in the kingdom of Ireland and County of Tyrone near a small town called Enniskillen, about the year 1700 . . . When my father came to the years of discretion, my grandfather sent him to explore America and inform him if it would suit him to move to America with his family. My father [Hugh] accordingly visited this country and landed at New Castle."  !Col. Martin continues: "To say something of my mother's family, the HUNTERS came to Ireland 2 or 3 years after my father's family. They had emigrated from Scotland to the north of Ireland and lived in the County of Antrim, the principal town of which was Belfast. They, too, after landing at New Castle on the Delaware, came up to New Jersey, where my father first saw my mother. My two uncles, John and Alexander Hunter, with my mother [Jane] were all that came to this country. “
