John Martin (1821-1892)

Headstone of John Martin Dayton Cemetery, Dayton Indiana

F1 John Martin, born Jan. 7, 1821, Montgomery County Ohio, died Nov. 25, 1892, Tippecanoe Co. Indiana, buried Dayton Cemetery, Dayton Indiana (age 71 y 10 m 18 d), married April 17, 1845, Montgomery County Ohio, Ellen Lohrer, born April 29, 1830, Pennsylvania, died Dec. 8, 1893, Tippecanoe County Indiana, buried Dayton Cemetery, Dayton Indiana (age 63 y 7 m 9 d) - Census records show that John and his family were living in Montgomery County Ohio in 1850, Darke County Ohio in 1860, and Tippecanoe County Indiana in 1880. This fact that he is the son of Joseph Martin is proven by census and marriage records that show that this John Martin was the father of the five grandchildren of Joseph Martin listed in the 1908 newspaper article. (The 1880 Fairfield Twp Tippecanoe County Indiana census shows John Martin 59 Ohio Pennsylvania Ohio. That is why I stated above that his mother, Nancy Miller, was born in Ohio.)
