Joseph Martin, son of Rene Martin and Marguerite Michel, was born on February 18, 1732 and baptized two months later. His birth and baptism were recorded at Saint Jean-Baptiste Catholic Church in Annapolis Royal, Annapolis, Nova Scotia.

It is possible that Joseph was one of the men deported from Chignectou to South Carolina aboard the Syren in 1755. [2]

Note From Stephen A. White, forwarded by Lucie Consentino in Oct 2006. - Paul Delaney has indicated that Joseph Martin was possibly one of the men deported to South Carolina aboard the Syren. This would explain why we find no children for him and Marie-Josèphe, because they would have been separated shortly after their wedding.
