Hi Walter I dont know whether you got this already but here is a loosely translated version of what Andre said:

Hello to all, For the exchange I am the first Martins to answer of Portugal! To the best of my knowledge and belief, Martins (along with other finished Portuguese names ending in " s") it means son of Martim. In turn, Martim has Latin origin (probably proto-Roman) and means, coarsely, " Guerreiro" e " Nobre". Establishing the linking with the Roman God of the war, Mars. However, névoas of the time olvidaram more given concerning this name. They observe, also, the clientele of Algueirão-Mem Martins. The Martins name, according to Rui archaeologist Oliveira, probably originates from the name of the medieval knight who liveed in this region that Martim Escorso was called. Consequently, the name will be able to also come from the nickname of the children of this knight who had also lived in this region that they called " Martins". PS: Without a doubt that highest probabilities of terms will exist sanguineous affinities! With the best compliments, Andres Martins, Geógrafo

Origem do Nome Martins

anfi13 — 2008-08-20 17:33:20Z

Olá a todos,

Pelos vistos sou o primeiro Martins a responder de Portugal!!

Pelo que sei, Martins (a par de outros nomes portugueses acabados em "s") significa filho de Martim. Por sua vez, Martim tem origem Latina (provavelmente proto-romana) e significa, grosseiramente, "Guerreiro" e "Nobre". Há quem estableça a ligaçao com o Deus Romana da guerra, Marte. Contudo, as névoas do tempo olvidaram mais dados acerca deste nome. Observem, também, a freguesia de Algueirão-Mem Martins. O nome Martins, segundo o arqueólogo Rui Oliveira, provavelmente origina do nome do cavaleiro medieval que morou nesta região e que chamava-se Martim Escorso. Consequentemente, o nome poderá também provir do apelido dos filhos deste cavaleiro que também viveram nesta região e que se chamavam "Martins".

PS: Sem dúvida que existirão elevadissimas probabilidades de termos afinidades sanguíneas!

Com os melhores cumprimentos,
André Martins,

Under Oatey there is heaps on the net and it is the correct family line as the marriage of these 2 are in it.I am now planning to come to Adelaide in Oct to go up there and see where they lived and worked and see threir graves.
I only have one big question mark now for family that went there, Grace Gribble nee Polkinghorne died just after her daughter Catherine was born in 1844 in Burra. Grace is my gggrandmother and I cant find a registration of her death anywhere

Re: Catherina Martins b. 1758

2004-04-02 17:43:49Z

> sorry I can't help you with your Catherina. I have a Julius Martins b. ca
> 1845 in Meseritz W. Prussia. I wonder if there could be a connection

I guess there is one. The problem with your response is in the second line. There NEVER EVER had been a place with the name Meseritz in the province of Westprussia.

There was one village Meseritz in Schievelbein county in the province of Pommerania

There was one city Meseritz in Meseritz county (city was county seat and name sake for county) in the province of Posen. The Meseritz county bordered directly on the Brandenburg province, actually was part of the Brandenburg province 1938-45. The Westprussia province was also very close, just two counties away.

I hope that you have corroborating records to figure, which of these two Meseritzes would be yours, as the one you have in your records did not exist. At least, the geographical reference of it gaving been located in Westprussia is wrong. You may want to check my claims at either http://www.kartenmeister.com (a Canadian website) or at http://www.literad.de/regional/ortsbuchme.html (a German website)

Other than that: Good luck on your research

Daniel McNair Martin

2002-08-14 18:58:39Z

Hello! I am trying to obtain family info/history on Daniel McNair Martin and his ancester John Martin. I am ultimately looking for my Irish roots. The following is all the available info that I have thus far:

John Martin came from Ireland about 1740, landed in Philadelphia and married an Irish lady named Isabella. They moved from Penn. to the Clover Bottoms of Virginia. Moved from there to Kershaw Dist. near Camden in South Carolina. Legend has it that his 3 sons served in the Rebel army. They all lived in Kershaw Dist. after the Rev. War. Source: letter dated May,18,1870 written by Daniel McNair Martin.

In a letter dated June 19, 1903, V.G. Stewart writes to cousin Lizzie:
John was born in Ireland and educated for the Ministy, his brother William was a lawyer in Ireland in 1740. John's father was a farmer in Ireland. John was the baby and his Mother was very indulgent and let him have all the money he wanted. By the time he graduated he was too wild to go into the Ministry.

John Chartered a ship and loaded it with Irish wanting to come to America, he was to sell them out and load the ship with flax seed and return to Ireland. When John Landed in New York (D.M. Martin says Philedelphia) there was not enough flax seed to load the ship.He waited, sold out Irish and had a good time until his money ran out. He got a school and wa successful, He built up a fine school and married an Irish woman (Isabell) (a), possibly Innes per Grace Puryear? (Carrie Mixon did find a Isabella Innes but did not connect)

He went to Virginia and established a school there, then went to Camden, S.C.

Isabella was a very common name, I Carrie Mixon have found several that could be the wife of John Martin, but no proof as yet. End of history gathered so far.

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards!

Hi Linda:
I doubt there is a connection but it doesn't hurt to try.
My grandfather was Manuel Vieira Martins who also came from Pico. He arrived in California in about 1885 and moved to Petaluma in 1890 where he was a rancher. He died in 1909. He had brothers, some of which moved to Montevideo. He married Laurianna Vieira. I am trying to find where they were married. His father's name was John Martins.

Thanks, Clair Miller, Placerville, Ca.
