• Notes

  Hewas known as a very Kind Man. His farm was 65 acres, not the usual 100. Because he had such a large family, he had to supplement his income, he established a threshing business, his eldest son took charge of the steam engine. After his brother-in-law John Gaughan died in a threshing accident Martin gave it up and migrated to North Dakota. Martin and his wife Bridget were both born in Mara Twp.,and lived 6 miles from each other, grew up together and went to school together. 1871 Canada Census states individual bears a different name from head of household, because his father had already died, and his mother Ellen had already married to a Patrick Mangan.
