Martha Ide was born 18 Mar 1682/83 in Rehoboth, Plymouth, British Colonial America, daughter of Nicholas Ide Jr. and Mary (Perrin) Ormsby of Rehoboth^[1]

On 8 Nov 1705 at Rehoboth she married (1) Zachariah Carpenter^[2]

It is alleged that she married, third, as his third wife, on Dec 8,1748, Peter Walker of Rehoboth but no primary source has been found to verify marriage to Peter Walker. Peter Walker of Rehoboth was married to Martha Read at the time that the alleged marriage to Martha (Ide) Carpenter took place so this appears to be a false story.
