Peter and Bridget married in the
village of Guilsborough, quite close to Spratton and Teeton. The
family seems to have lived at Spratton, and held land with voting
rights at nearby Teeton. When Peter died in 1772/73 he left half
his farm to a grandson John (son of his eldest son, John), and the
other half to his wife Bridget. This half was also to go to John
when Bridget died. He left his dwelling house to his son Peter.
Len Martin's book.
At time of his marriage at Guilsborough Peter is a butcher.
His co-petitioner for his marriage license is John Manning of
Brington. Had he perhaps served an apprenticeship under John
Manning, or did they both serve one under Francis Martin of
Guilsborough?

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
