Henry was born about 1680 in New Kent, Virginia. He married Jane Samuel and they had 7 children. Henry Martin passed away after April 19, 1748, the date of his will. (Spotsylvania County Will Book A, pg 508; see image of Will attached to profile))
On March 21, 1719, Henry Martin purchased 260 acres on the ‘hasle run” from John Wridings of St. Anne’s Parish, Essex County, Virginia. The land, at the time part of St. Mary’s Parish, Essex County, would become part of St. George’s Parish in Spotsylvania County when they were established by the legislature in 1720. “For 1600 pounds of tobacco and 9 pounds cash. 260 acres…corner to Francis Thornton and near a branch of Massaponax swamp…crossing the forest branch…oak by a branch of the hasle run… crossing one of the main branches of the hasle run….” We know from subsequent transfer records and from Henry’s Will that this property was where Henry made his home, and that his son John lived on 100 acres of this tract.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Henry by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Henry:
I removed my Martin Family from this FORUM BECAUSE THE RESEARCH IS INCORRECT AND WE ARE NOT RELATED TO Henry Martin and Jane Samuel We are also not related to Jane Holman She married William Martin just not my William Martin who married Jane and had sons Thomas and William Martin
These are two MARTIN LINES MIXED that are not related William Martin and JANE Holman were Goochland Va Martin Family
