Biography

Absalom was born in 1829. He is the son of Samuel Martin and Mary McCormick. ^[1]

According to the History of Seneca County, Ohio (ref. below) Absalom was a member of The Clinton Protectives Society in 1854-1855. In its advertisement calling the attention of horse thieves, it says: " The 'Seneca Horse Guards ' were organized years ago; have never permitted a thief to get away with a horse stolen from the society, but one; has a sufficient fund on hand for all practical purposes, and is in every way ready at all times for any emergency. We would suggest that it might be well for horse thieves to make note of these facts, and file it away for fixture reference."
