Orson Martin was the son of Valentine Martin and Jane Bridgewater. He was born about 1735 on his father's farm along the Cat Tail Branch of the Willis River in what was then called Goochland County, Virginia.
In 1761 Orson supplied food and bedding for Continental Troops of Cumberland County, Virginia and those records led to his DAR designation as a 'Revolutionary Patriot'.
Orson married Ann Forsee/Farsi about 1763 and they had at least six children.
Orson died before his will was probated on July 24, 1786. He was buried in the Burnt Chimney Cemetery found on the family farm located on the Cat Tail Branch. In 1970 descendants requested a Revolutionary War grave marker be placed at Cat Tail Branch in memory of Orson.
