Rev Edward W Martin was born about 1788 in Vermont, and became a Baptist minister by ordination of the Cayuga Conference in 1823. His first posting was at the Moscow Church at McLean, Tompkins, New York. He served for over 25 years at the Geneva-Waterloo Church of rural Seneca County, and again for ten years at the Dundee Church at Starkey. During these years he most likely rode circuit among many of the Baptist churches of the finger lakes region. His final posting in retirement was at Bath, where he was enumerated posthumously by the 1850 census. Rev Martin was married twice; his first wife, Eliza Catherine La Hatt, was herself the daughter of a Baptist minister. Together they had one son, Charles H Martin, born 19 Aug 1819. Eliza died in Delaware County, and shortly after Rev Martin married a second time, to Celinda Wall, who raised Charles as her own and also had two additional children. Following Rev Martin's death many of the family resided in Yates County, where they are buried together at the Hillside Cemetery in Dundee. Feel free to link.
