  Notes	"Martin Tichenor took the oath of allegiance at New Haven Colony in August 1644. This is the first known record of his presence in the colony. He and Mary Charles were married by the governor. ... "The spelling of his name varies in New Haven records, but his will is signed 'Tichenor,' the spelling found most often in New Jersey records. The exception are found in a few records pertaining to this sons using single or double L's at the end of the name. Early tradition is that Martin Tichenor came from France. However, Taylor Tichenor, son of James Tichenor, whose genealogy is used in Teachenor's 'Partiail History of the Tichenor Family in America,' published in 1918, states that the most generally accepted tradition is that his ancestry is English, though of Dutch-Flemish derivation. "A study of the Connecticut and New Jersey colonial records cited in Harold Tichenor's 'Tichenor Families in America,' published in 1988, suggests that Martin was a Puritan and most probably came from England. ... "In 1665, New Haven and Connecticut were merged into one colony. This allowed baptism of children regardless of their parents' church affiliation. When the Puritans objected to this arrangement, ..." they opted to leave the colony and become homesteaders in New Jersey, arriving at the Passaic River in early May 1666. "No sooner did they begin to unload their supplies than Hackensack Indians confronted them to claim the land for themselves. Ultimately, the settlers purchased the land from the Indians ..." [2]
