Detailed research needs to be done: Death certificate and most records say Jake Martin. Claims 1851 birth year and Elsberry Martin and Polina Willoughby as parents.
Elsberry Martin's first wife was still living as late as 1855.
No one named Benjamin, Lake or Jake appears on the census with Elsberry Martin in 1860,1870 or 1880.
