Bio: Reared in the home of Captain Bray, William Martin had enlisted in the Army at Lebanon, New Jersey, and served in the Commissary Department under Capt. McKnight, James Johnson and John Bray. He served at Pittstown, Raritan's Landing and at Stoney Point. Coming from New Jersey in 1786, Colonel Martin rose rapidly to a place of prominence in the county. He became the owner the first general store at Clarksburg and later Sheriff of the county. The home of Colonel Martin was at Peel Tree, across the road from, though a little nearer to Clarksburg, than the home of Dorsey Bartlett."
(Stout, Russell Ray, p. 43)
"It seems that Colonel Martin first married Hester Cheney and she died in childbirth within a year. James is supposedly her child.
After Susanna's death in 1814, William married Jane Powers. Jane and her six children survived Colonel William's death in 1851. Colonel and Susanna were buried at Gore Cemetery on the Shinnston road." Source: "Richard Stout Descendants in West Virginia", pp. 43-44)
