Disputed Identity
The origins and name of the first wife of George Martin (died 1734) of Chebacco parish, Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts are not known. The records for the births of George Martin's six children name only the father; they do not identify the mother.
Some researchers have suggested that her name was Hannah and that she may have been Hannah Green, daughter of Henry Green of Hampton, New Hampshire. This theory has been disproven; Hannah Green, daughter of Henry Green, was married to John Acey of Rowley. David Greene traces the first appearance of this theory to a book identified as a 1935 edition of Alven Martyn Smith's George Martin of Salisbury Mass, & his descendants that he examined in the New England Historic Genealogical Society library. Greene notes that there was a Hannah Martin in Ipswich, Massachusetts, at the time that George Martin resided there, but that Hannah Martin was the wife of an Abraham Martin. [1]
Biography
This profile is part of the Chebacco Parish, Massachusetts One Place Study.
David L. Greene speculates that George Martin and his first wife might be the "George Martine and his wife" who arrived in Salem, Massachusetts, on the ship Hannah and Elizabeth in September 1679, having sailed from Dartmouth, England.[2]
George Martin and his first wife settled in Chebacco parish in the Town of Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts. (Chebacco parish later was separated from Ipswich to form the town of Essex.) They had six children:[3]
- George, born 17 September 1680
- Elizabeth, born 12 September 1682; apparently died young
- John, born 6 October 6, 1686, married Jane Durkee
- Mary, born 7 August 1692, married John Howard
- Joseph, born 26 December 1694
- Ebenezer, born 20 April 1697
This woman apparently died before 12 February 1712/3, when George Martin and Elizabeth Durke(e) published intentions to marry.[4]

Susannah North Martin
Birth: c. Sep. 30, 1621
Olney
Buckinghamshire, England
Death: Jul. 19, 1692
Salem
Essex County
Massachusetts, USA
Victim of the Salem Witch Trials. The youngest of four daughters of Richard North and Joan Bartram, her baptism is reported as September 30, 1621 at Olney, Buckinghamshire, England. Her mother died when she was a child and her father married Ursula Scott. In 1639, Richard North immigrated to New England and settled his family at Salisbury, Massachusetts. Susannah married the widower George Martin in 1646 at Salisbury. George and Susannah Martin moved to Amesbury, Massachusetts in 1654. George Martin is shown as one of the first settlers of Amesbury on a commemorative plaque in the Amesbury-Golgotha Burying Ground. Susannah and George were the parents of eight children. Through her daughter, Jane, Susannah is the 5th great grandmother of U. S. President Chester A. Arthur. In 1669, William Sargent accused Susannah of witchcraft. George Martin sued Sargent for slander against Susannah and a higher court dismissed the witchcraft charges. George Martin died in 1686 and Susannah remained in Amesbury. In 1692, at the age of 71, she was accused of being a witch by several residents of Salem Village (now the Town of Danvers), which is located about 25 miles south of Amesbury. Susannah was arrested and tried for witchcraft. None of the accused were represented by council and during her trial, she defended herself defiantly. She was found guilty and hanged on July 19, 1692, along with four other women. All were placed in a shallow unmarked grave. Over 400 people were accused during the Salem witchcraft hysteria. Of those convicted, twenty were executed and four died in prison. In May, 1693, all of the remaining accused that had been arrested were released, but only after their families had paid jail and court costs. In 1709, a petition was submitted requesting reversal of the convictions of 22 indiviuals. In October, 1711, this petition was approved by the General Court and in December, the Governor authorized monetary compensation to these individuals or their heirs. Susannah Martin's family did not sign this petition and she, along with others, were not included in this resolution. In 1957, an Act was passed pronouncing the innocence of "One Ann Pudeator and certain other persons." It was not until 2001 that an Act was passed amending the 1957 wording to include the names, "Ann Pudeator, Bridget Bishop, Susannah Martin, Alice Parker, Margaret Scott and Wilmot Redd.."
