• Notes

  Since her father was from a very prominent family in England, all his daughters were highly sought after by the wealthy businessman of Jamestown. This is the clue needed to discern Christian's husband's, John Martin's, lineage as there were only two John Martins of early New England from the well to do class of England. The other one is accounted by YDNA that goes back to a general of William the Conqueror. Her husband, John Martin, is accounted for by the "Peerage of Devon" Martins.
