John was the eldest of Peter's six
children. He also had land at Teeton. The second son, John, was the
inheritor of Grandfather Peter's farm when he died in 1772/3.. In 1766, Sarah died, and in 1768 John
re-married, this time to a Sarah Clark. Two children were born to them
- Robert (October, 1771) Bridget (???). When John died in 1783/94, his estate
was valued at £5000. The majority of this appears to have been
left to Peter and Robert, but the others were provided for by various
lump sums and annuities. William was to be given a lump sum of
£200, plus £20 yearly. If the amount was not paid, he had
the right to enter premises and take goods or animals to the same value
until the rent was paid.

Acknowledgements
Most of the material on the Martins comes from Glenis Crocker, with
help from Robyn Lawther and Helen
Millward. Glenis's material prepared for the Martin reunion she
organised has been quoted directly here. They have traced the family
back to the 16th century, by a lot of detective work on old wills.
Also Len Martin produced an excellent book on Charles Henry
Martin, Hannah Martin's brother
