Martha Lumbert, dau. of Ens. Barnard (q.v. Bernard) Lumbert and his unnamed wife. She was b. Sept. 19, 1639 at Barnstable, Mass. and bapt. there Nov. 2, 1639 by Rev. John Lothrop. Martha's actual birth record in the Barnstable town records says she was b. Sept. 19, 1640, but as one cannot be baptized before one is born, the year 1640 is an obvious error.
Martha d. prior to Sept. 12, 1698, the date of her husband John Manter's will, in which he makes no mention of or provision for her. His will was probated at Tisbury, Mass. on May 25, 1708, and again contains no mention of her. Thus it must be presumed that Martha was already dead when her husband wrote his will, not as Banks claimed that she survived her husband and d. at Tisbury Oct. 3, 1724. Banks obviously confused the still standing gravestone of Hannah (Eddy) Manter, who d. Oct. 4, 1724 at Tisbury, wife of Martha's son Ens. John Manter, Jr., with being that of Martha (Lumbert) Manter.
On July 1, 1657 of record at Barnstable, Mass., Martha m. John Manton [i.e., Manter] by whom she had eight known children who are summarized in their father's memorial.
Martha is traditionally assumed to have been interred at the present West Tisbury Village Cemetery, but has no extant gravestone, if she had one to begin with.
