David was the son of Christian and Elsbeth "Ells" Martin. They emigrated to Pennsylvania on the Plaisance on September 21, 1732. Their actual birth dates are not known and birth years are only estimates. Christian died sometime AFTER July 12, 1748, and Ells died sometime AFTER 1732. Their actual death dates and burial places are unknown. FAG pages for Christian and Ells are not primary sources and may contain errors posted by well-meaning but misinformed individuals. David's first wife has been said to have been Anna Weber who died at sea in 1727. No records exist to prove this oral tradition. He may have had a wife who died at sea but it is highly improbably she was Anna Weber. By 1730 David was married to Barbara Herr Miller, daughter of Abraham and Anna (Bare) Herr, and widow of Henry Miller (d. 1728). Henry and Barbara lived on the land for which David received a patent from the Penns in 1738. (See Taylor Papers no. 2550, Pennsylvania State Archives, Harrisburg, Pa. for a survey map and description of Henry Miller's tract.) In addition to the land, Barbara brought into the marriage two daughters, Mary and Susannah, and two sons, Henry and Abraham. (Lancaster County Deed O-518 clearly identifies Barbara, widow of Henry Miller, as the wife of David Martin.) David and Barbara had nine children before she died on August 8, 1742. She may have been buried in this cemetery but there is no record of her being there. David then married Anna Groff and had three children with her. After her death he married Elizabeth Herr Martin. They had no children together.
Joseph was a cousin of David's, not a brother.
