Biography

Mary (Polly) Martin was the daughter of Joseph Martin, and Susannah Chiles. Her birth is not recorded, but was likely in the early 1740's. Her father's 1760 will confirms that she was married and had at least one child.

"To my daughter Susannah Martin, 200 Acres on Rocky Creek, and if she die without heir to Susannah Chiles Hammack, daughter of John Hammack and Mary Hammack his wife. To my daughter Susannah Martin, Negro girl and choice of featherbeds and furniture. Also her choice of 200 Acres of land in the tract mentioned before. To my daughter Mary Hammack, Negro girl Parthenia, and second choice of featherbeds and furniture. " [1]

Suggested death dates range from 1770 to 1778.

Research Notes

Some accounts say she was born about 1722, in Louisa County, Virginia, and married John Hammock there about 1745. [2] This is impossible since Joseph didn't arrive in Virginia until 1725 and his marriage to Susannah was about 1732/33. Mary was John Hammock's second wife.

Martin-13109 and Martin-4755 do not represent the same person because: Different fathers, very little in common
posted by Neal Parker
Joseph Martin and Susannah Chiles are believed to have married about 1733; George, their first child was born about 1734 so the dates for Mary must be off by quite a bit.
