This Martin line is one of the newest additions to my ancestral database.  Mark Putman found the link to the parents of Sarah Martin, wife of Peter Putman, and I've "name collected" in the best resources that I could find.  Many of the Piscataway births, marriages and deaths are recorded in Piscataway and Woodbridge, New Jersey; Extracts of Births, Marriages, and Deaths, 1676-1784 on FHL Microfilm 0,946,001 which are extracts from the town records by William A. Whitehead.  A recent book that includes this Martin family is by Louise Martin Mohler, The Martin Family of America, published by William Hesler, rev. 1987.

Several of the the Martin males in my ancestral line died relatively young.  Some had children by more than one wife.  There are will abstracts for several of them in the New Jersey Archives.

Thomas Roberts wife was not Rebecca Hilton. See http://mhollick.typepad.com/slovakyankee/bogus-royal-lines-for-gateway-ancestors-from-whom-i-descend.html. We are cousins several times through this family.
