Notes:

Alexander Arthur Martin's family moved from Providence, Rhode Island, to Cleveland, Ohio, while he was still young. The family lived at 122 Whitney Avenue. He was the first person to enlist at the new Cleveland recruiting station at 64 Public Square, enlisting in the Navy on December 28, 1899. He underwent introductory training at Coaster's Harbor Island, Rhode Island, where he was stationed on the U.S.S. Constellation. He also served on the U.S.S. Essex, an old ship used for training, then on the U.S.S. Wabash, a stationary receiving ship at Chelsea, Massachusetts. Next, he went to the receiving yard at Brooklyn, and then to San Francisco, where he was assigned to the U.S.S. Wisconsin. While in San Francisco, he met President McKinley at a ball. He visited many foreign ports during his time in the Navy, and took part in naval exercises during the Boxer Rebellion in China and the Philippine Insurrection. He was discharged from the Navy on his birthday in 1904.

After his marriage to Jessie Duff, the family lived for some time in Cleveland, and later moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, and Fostoria, Ohio. They were living in Cleveland, Ohio, at the time of the 1910 census. William Duff, cousin of Jessie Duff Martin, was living with them. In 1920, they were living at 9001 Macomb Avenue, Cleveland. The family finally settled in Dayton, Ohio, where Alexander was employed by the National Cash Register Company. He built numerous ship models as a hobby, and won several prizes for his models. He was a member of Linden Avenue Baptist Church and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of the Masonic Lodge, becoming a Prince of the Royal Secret, thirty-second degree, on November 11, 1944.

Alexander died at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. At the time of his death, he was living at 210 Cambridge Avenue in Dayton. Alex and Jessie are buried at Memorial Park Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio, in Section 12, Lot 3, Block 12.

Alexander married Jessie Helen Duff on 30 Nov 1905 in St. Agnes Church, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA. Jessie (daughter of Charles Edward Duff and Ann Nolan) was born on 18 Sep 1883 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA; died on 6 Nov 1956 in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, USA; was buried on 9 Nov 1956 in Memorial Park Cemetery, Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, USA.

• Occupation: 1905; maid
• Census: 28 Apr 1910, East 65th Street, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA
• Census: 2 Jan 1920, 9001 Macomb Avenue, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA

Notes:

Jessie Duff's parents died when she was very young, so she lived with her older siblings. She was living with her sister and brother-in-law, James and Mary Hutchsion, at the time of the 1900 Census of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio (Roll 1254, Book 2, page 260). She was described in the census as a "nurse-girl."

Other Events and Attributes:

• Also Known As: Joseph Arthur Martin
• Immigration: 3 May 1869
• Naturalization: 30 Oct 1894, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA

Notes:

Joseph's middle name on his baptismal record and marriage record is Hormisdas. The witnesses in the baptismal record were Joseph Boucher and Marie Duclos. At the time of his naturalization in 1894, Joseph Martin was living at 341 Case Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. At the time of the 1900 Census, the Joseph Martin family was living at 122 Whitney Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio (see 1900 Ohio Census, Cuyahoga County, Roll 1254, Book 2, Page 80a). Living at the residence were Joseph, his wife Mary, Eva M., William, and Irene Martin, and Florence Burrows, said to be Joseph's sister-in-law. In 1910, the family was living at 7540 Star Avenue, Cleveland. They were living on East 103rd Street, Cleveland, in 1920. He is probably the Joseph Martin listed in the 1930 census as an inmate at the Warrensville Correction Farm, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Joseph Martin died at his residence, 5144 Oakmont Drive, South Euclid, Ohio.

According to the Julian family, Joseph Martin fell off a bicycle and hit his head, causing him some mental problems, although he had been very bright before the accident. He always wore a Derby hat in bed and always wore long underwear.

Joseph married Marie Julie Oliva Jean on 18 Jun 1882 in St. Charles Borromeo Church, Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA. Marie (daughter of Louis Jean and Célina Turcotte) was born on 16 Feb 1865 in Saint-Norbert, Norbertville, Arthabaska, Québec, Canada; was christened on 21 Feb 1865 in Saint-Norbert, Norbertville, Arthabaska, Québec, Canada; died on 26 Feb 1887 in Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1882, Lincoln, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA

Notes:

The marriage record gives her name as Oliva Jean. Her death certificate lists "consumption" as the cause of death, but family tradition holds that she died in childbirth.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Naturalization: 9 Oct 1882, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA
• Residence: 1883, 2 Home Avenue, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA
• Occupation: 7 Aug 1883; Cleveland policeman

Notes:

At the time of the 1861 census, Charles Duff was living at Bothy of Charleston, Liff and Benvie, Angus, and his occupation was given as ploughman. In their 1868 marriage record, Charles Duff and Ann Nolan were both recorded as living in Lochee and working as farm servants in the parish of Liff and Benvie. On the death record of their first child, Alexander, in 1868, Charles' occupation was given as police constable in Dundee. Charles apparently came to the United States before the rest of his family, as his record in the Declarations of Aliens (Volume 8, p. 398, 9 October 1880) in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, states that he arrived in the United States in September 1868. His wife and children arrived in New York from Glasgow on 31 October 1872, on the S.S. California. The California was built by Alexander Stephen & Sons of Glasgow and was launched on 12 March 1872. Its maiden voyage was 15 June 1872, and it was scrapped in 1904. Charles probably came first to find employment, and then returned to Scotland to prepare his family for emigration. He is listed in the 1871 census of St. Mary, Dundee, with the occupation of police officer. There is no date on the census record. Again, he must have returned to the United States before his wife and children. He is probably the Charles Duff listed on the passenger manifest for the S.S. Anglia, which arrived in New York from Glasgow on 16 September 1871. On 7 August 1883, Charles was appointed a patrolman (Patrolman 160, at $840 per year) with the Cleveland Police Department, and took his Oath of Office the same day. His previous occupation was given as "paver," and his address was 6 Home Street.

Charles married Ann Nolan on 26 Jun 1868 in St. John the Baptist's Catholic Church, 20 Melville Street, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Ann (daughter of Francis Nolan and Catherine Nolan) was born in 1847 in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland; died on 2 Sep 1898 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA; was buried on 5 Sep 1898 in Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA.

• Also Known As: Anna
• Residence: 1892, 29 Cory Avenue, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA
• Funeral Service: 5 Sep 1898, St. Agnes Church, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA

Notes:

On Jessie Helen Duff's birth record, Ann's place of birth was stated to be Ireland. In June 1897, Ann Nolan Duff returned to Scotland, presumably to visit her mother and other relatives. Traveling with James and Letitia Hutchison, the in-laws of her daughter Mary, she sailed on the ship State of Nebraska on 5 June and arrived in Glasgow on 14 June. She remained in Scotland until late August 1897, sailing home on 25 August on the ship City of Rome and arriving in New York on 5 September. Her nationality was listed as Scottish on the outgoing passenger list and as Irish on the return passenger list. When she arrived in New York on her return trip, she declared that she had $5.00 and a ticket to her final destination, Cleveland.
