Biography
The following is from acadian-home.org/ ancestorsacadian.html:
The Martin descendants of New Brunswick are the descendants of Barnabe Martin. The exact place of origin is unknown but it does seem certain that he was born in France about 1636. He arrived in Acadia before 1666, when he married, at Port-Royal, Jeanne Pelletret, daugher of Simon Pelletret and Perrine Bourque. Barnabe died between 1678 and 1686, leaving seven children. His son Rene was born about March 1671. He married just before the census of 1693 to Marie Mignier, widow of Joseph Gravois. The fifth of the eight sons of Rene Martin was Jean-Baptiste. He was born at Port-Royal on March 15, 1704 and married at the same place, on November 24, 1732, Marie Brun, daughter of Claude Brun and Cecile Dugas. The family of Jean-Baptiste Martin consisted of fourteen children. Joseph, born at Port-Royal on November 4, 1740, and Amand, born in the same parish on May 20, 1742 married at Ekoupahag (today known as Kingsclear), on June
