Biography

William Martin was born in Winchelsea, Sussex, England.

"William Martin was the eldest child of William and Cordelia Martin. He was born in England in 1829 and came to Australia with his parents on the "Coromandel" in 1838.

On June 23, 1859, William married Ann Frazier, daughter of Thomas Frazier, at "Kelvin Grove", Burrell Creek, on the Manning River. They had a large family of sixteen children -- however, two children Thomas and James died during childhood. William and Ann spent the first thirteen years of married life in the Manning River and Hastings River districts, where several of their children were born. In 1872, William and Ann moved to the Armidale district, and selected a property west of Saumarez Ponds where Ann's parents, Thomas and Sarah Frazier, had a property called "Deeping Grove". William and Ann called their property "Hillwood" and this property was synonymous with the Martin families for many, many years.

William and Ann spent the rest of their lives at "Hillwood". William died in 1912 and Ann died in 1914. They are both buried in the Frazier family cemetery at Saumerez Ponds".
