He was born in County Down, Ireland, and when a young man came to Canada, first working at Georgetown, where he teamed for some years on the plank road to Hamilton. With pioneer instinct he came to Fergus, where he assisted in the first logging and in 1848 took possession of lots 7 and 8 in Peel township and lived there for eight years. Then word came about the possibilities of Luther and the impulse must be obeyed so the next year found him clearing up the farm now occupied by his son, Councillor Wm. Martin. Here he lived for 22 years, when he moved to Manitoulin Island, another new spot. Mr. Martin was a man of wonderful physical strength, a hard worker and could easily pick up a barrel of salt and toss it into a wagon. He underbrushed 30 sideroad from the Boy? to the 7th concession. He was a man of Conservative leanings, a Presbyterian, and never touched liquor or used tobacco, and unless within recent months, never tasted doctor's medicine. In 1857, he married Catherine Atchison, at Hillsburg, who died several years ago. The following children survive -- John, in Grand Valley, William, in East Luther, James in Manitoba, Mrs. J. B.
