Notes for Earl Martin:

Blenhein Township Minute Book 1822-1844 Blenheim Township Oxford County. This town book was rescued from the refuse heap near Richwood, Ontario, Canada, in about 1950, by James Forest of Princeton, Blenheim, Oxford, Ontario, Canada. It was kept by Mrs. Wilfred Williamson, formerly historical coordinator for the Princeton-Woodbury Women's Institute, for many years. This book was donated to the Provincial Archives of Ontario in 1973 for safe keeping. A photographic copy is available in the Princeton Public Library. The editor has a hand written transcription of the contents of the book. The book contains the minutes of the town meetings from 1822 to 1844 including lists of the town and parish officers chosen for each year. Also recorded were the town laws voted on and fines received and monies spent on roads. Eighty nine ear marks of sundry inhabitants of the Township of Blenheim for Horned Cattle, Hogs and Sheep. etc. were also recorded.

 

The first recorded town meeting was legally notified and held at Princeton in the old school house on Dundas Street, on the first Monday in January eighteen hundred and twenty two with the following persons being chosen to serve as Town and Parish officers for the year: Town Clerk, Jacob Goble; Assessors, Henry Slawson and Abell Mudge; Collector, Donald McIntyre; Pound Keepers, William Swarts and Benjamin Bailey; Town Wardens, Earl Martin and Silas Martin; Overseers of Highways, Silas Martin, Elial Martin, Ebenezer Boss and James Pelton.

Notes for Zerviah Hyde:

My ancestors, Zerviah Hyde Martin and her husband Earl Martin and their children are listed in the "Hyde genealogy" by Reuben Hyde Walworth. Is it reasonable to put much credence in this document? Dr. Walworth was a contemporary of Zerviah Hyde. I have used the material to locate my ancestors in Bainbridge, New York, USA and Oxford, Ontario It is very difficult to find original records to verify births, deaths, and marriages. Thank you.

Part of Page 372 BRANT, ONTARIO TOWNSHIP HISTORIES

In those days, magistrates often undertook one of the most pleasant duties of ministers of religion, in solemnizing marriage. Many stories are told of Mr. Horner's genial good humour when called in to act as High Priest of Hymen. The first marriage solemnized by him was that of James Smiley and Eunice Martin, in 1801. Mrs. Smiley lived to the venerable age of ninety-two, having died at her home in Brantford, in August 1875. This township seems exceptionally favourable to longevity.

Notes for Walter Hyde Martin:

EARS MARKS 1822-1859-Blenheim Township Oxford County

 

Ear Marks of sundry inhabitants of Blenheim Township for Horned Cattle, Hogs, and Sheep, etc. One of the more interesting aspects of this Town Book is the list of ear marks used for the identification of animals. The various marks used include square cropping of the ear, slits, swallow forks, half penny notches, holes, half crops, and slanting crops in various combinations on both left and right ears of the animal. This seems to be a rather novel way of branding animals, and not too many records exist of this type. One might wonder which would be more painful to the animal, branding with a hot iron or having notches and holes cut in its ear. The first mark recorded was on June 5, 1822 for the animals of Denton Burns, the last mark recorded was for the animals of James Rochester on May 20, 1859. There are 89 marks recorded.

 

Walter Martin's mark, a square crop of the right ear with a hole in the same ear. Recorded June 4, 1832. Source: Blenheim Township Minute Book 1822-1859.

        48               i.    Robert Barkley4 Martin79, born 1842 in Blenheim, Oxford, Ontario, Canada80; died 28 May 1885 in Oxford, Ontario, Canada.

 

Notes for Robert Barkley Martin:

It is reported that he never married. Robert and Murray were mutes who were very talented musically. The would stay in the back room when company came. Neither could read or write.

 

Can not find Death Certificate.

 

Sorry to say that since the stones were transcribed in 1984 this stone must have fallen over. It is the one you want with Robert & Murray. It is lying face down with the writing in the dirt. I have seen this happen before and when the family picked it up they found that the dirt had kept the weathering from fading the writing.

 

Robert Backley was most likely named after Robert Barclay, the first and greatest of Quaker theologians, systematized the charismatic message of George Fox. Barclay's most recent biographer, D. Elton Trueblood, asserts that Barclay "saved the Quaker movement from extinction by giving Fox's preaching an intellectual form, capable of rational defense. " (1) Barclay’s best-known work, The Apology for the True Christian Divinity expressed the early Quaker theological consensus of Friends’ beliefs as Barclay heard it preached by Fox and by other Friends. Dean Freiday considers the Apology to be a thinking through of Barclay’s own religious journey, from the strict Calvinism of his youth, through the Roman Catholicism of his education in Paris, to his Quaker convincement.

Notes for Daniel Hyde Martin:

EARS MARKS 1822-1859 Blenheim Township Oxford County

 

Ear Marks of sundry inhabitants of Blenheim Township for Horned Cattle, Hogs, and Sheep, etc. One of the more interesting aspects of this Town Book is the list of ear marks used for the identification of animals. The various marks used include square cropping of the ear, slits, swallow forks, half penny notches, holes, half crops, and slanting crops in various combinations on both left and right ears of the animal. This seems to be a rather novel way of branding animals, and not too many records exist of this type. One might wonder which would be more painful to the animal, branding with a hot iron or having notches and holes cut in its ear. The first mark recorded was on June 5, 1822 for the animals of Denton Burns, the last mark recorded was for the animals of James Rochester on May 20, 1859. There are 89 marks recorded.
