Once here, Mart, like the vast majority of the men he was travelling with, married a Blood First Nations woman and laid claim to a tract of land in the Pincher Creek area.
Very little is known about his wife, only that her English given name was Eliza and/or Lucy

Several children were born to the couple, including most famously Charlie Holloway,
who was a scout and translator for the Northwest Mounted Police
Charlie HOLLOWAY married Jane LEE daughter of William and Rosa LEE
