My Martins were from Devon - from Clyst St George and Topsham, near Exeter in the 1700s and 1800s.

My ancestors came from Brighton, Sussex, UK. Any one else with links to Sussex?

Is anyone researching the Martin family from Ireland who came to Wisconsin/Michigan? John Martin was born in Ireland, as was his wife, Bessie and all their children. Bessie was born in 1830 and died in Wisconsin in 1915. They had three children: Joseph, Frank, Micheal. Joseph was born in 1871 in County Donegal, Ireland.

Does any of the sound familiar to anyone?
