John Goodwin Martin was born in Trigg County, Kentucky, on April 15, 1822.
On August 9, 1862, John enlisted in Company K of the 122nd Regiment of Illinois Volunteers at Carlinville, Macoupin County, Illinois.
At the time, he was described as being forty years old, five feet seven and three quarters inches tall, with a fair complexion and auburn hair.
He was mustered in on September 4, 1862. On January 10, 1863, at the Obine River near Crocket's Station, Tennessee, John was moving camp equipment across the river along with the rest of the regiment, and he became exhausted from overexertion. He then suffered from exposure to the rain and cold, and became chilled because he had no fire. After this exposure, he contracted what seemed like a bad cold, but persisted for three months, and was later diagnosed as chronic bronchitis. John was so sick that he was unfit for duty, and remained at Corinth, Tennessee during this time. He continued to suffer from this bronchitis for the remainder of his service.
On February 25, 1863, he was promoted to Corporal by order of Lieutenant Colonel Drish. The 122nd Illinois Infantry fought in the battles at Blakely, Alabama; Tupelo, Mississippi; Nashville, Tennessee; and Mobile, Alabama.
During the Battle of Tupelo, Mississippi, on July 14, 1864, John was slightly wounded in the face and breast. He was reported sick at Jefferson Barracks during October, 1864.
He was mustered out at Mobile, Alabama after the close of the war on July 15, 1865.
He married Martha Jane Randle on March 26, 1846, at Alhambra.
He died on June 12, 1907 at the age of 85.
