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 1793/94, 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.

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

He also has William Martin dying i 1826
Research Notes
Ref 111 has marriage John and Sarah in Teeton
Glenis' FTW file has John born at Teeton 1712 not Hollowell.
