• Notes

  The following is from the book, "Shawnee Heritage Book Vol. IV" by Don Greene. In 1622, he returned to England from the colonies with multiple native men and women aboard. One of them was Martha b. 1607 who within a short time became the wife of William Sizemore, b. 1600. She was the mistress of John Martin on this voyage over. We know this because she was so frequently at his side, that he was asked by other Englishman if she and others were his Virginia "whores", he answered to the affirmative. He had other unknown mistresses and possible wives before he married Christian Pettus/Pettis in 1650. He was a man of means to be able to marry the daughter of well respected, prominent and prestigious Thomas Pettus and his wife, the daughter of Pocahontas. Each of Thomas' daughters were vied for by the men of means in Jamestown. This also suggests he would have come from a respected family in England. Even at a significant age, he fathered multiple other children by her. Only children Ann, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Christian and John were verified as his children in this volume. It is theory on my part that this John and his son Gentleman John are of the wealthy class of Martyn's of Cumberland, England. That is what it typically took to have the tile of Gentleman or achievement of Captain. This is the only John born in 1600 from the list below that fits with Burke's Landed Gentry's description of a Martyn family of England at that time that is not accounted for by the other family of status in Devon, England. The Devon England Martyns are not related to us by clear YDNA evidence from multiple testers.
