Notes for JAMES MARTIN:
His apparent first marriage to Sophia ?, shown by their daughter Eliza Ann's death certificate, either wasn't recorded, or the record was lost. A second marriage took place before he left Bath, NH for Medina, Ohio, where he died and left a probate record.

Notes for SOPHIA:
Her identity is established by the death certificate of her daughter Eliza Ann, brought up by her Uncle John Martin and Aunt Rachel. She was considered John's child by others in the family, as shown by a family letter in which Eliza Ranson (married name) was named as one of their chidlren. This was written by "Great-aunt Mabel" to some family member and handed down to an Internet correspondent related to Sandra Kling, of Oak Creek, Wisconsin. It is in her possession.

Notes for THOMAS FOWLER:
Thomas Fowler's son, Thomas Fowler, Jr. is the guide who led Henry David Thoreau into the Penobscot area. In Thoreau's account THE MAINE WOODS he describes the huge, round chair-table in the Betsy Martin-Thomas Fowler cabin, which could be closed up and pushed against the wall. The table is still in beautiful condition. We can tell by the birthdates and birthplaces of their daughters Elizabeth and Rachel the approximate date when the family moved up to Grand Falls: between 1827 and 1829. They were there by the Census of 1830.
