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.

Census:
The U.S.S. Essex was in the North Atlantic, probably about 1/3 of the way from the United States to Europe.

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.

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. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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:

• Residence: 1861, Bothy of Charleston, Liff and Benvie, Perthshire, Scotland; 1861 Census
• Occupation: 27 Jun 1868; Farm servant - occupation given on marriage record
• 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.

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.

Notes:

The witnesses on Maxime's baptismal record were Antoine Valois and Agathe Valaing. The Maxime Martin family family was living at St. Charles-sur-Richelieu at the time of the 1861 Canadian census. Maxime was described in the census report as a "journeyman" (day worker). In the 1875 Rhode Island census, Maxime's name is given as Michael (age 45), and the family was living in Coventry. Also listed are Louisa B. (age 44), Michael (son, age 22), Aulet (age 21), Mary (age 14), Joseph (age 15), Ida (age 11), and Louisa (age 7), all born in Canada. The census of 1900 reports that Maxime and Louise Martin emigrated in 1868. The 1920 census record of Maxime's children, Marguerite Ashey and Maxime Martin, indicates that they emigrated in 1869. Maxime and Louise Martin's son, Alexander, was naturalized on 28 December 1891, at which time he stated that he arrived in the United States on 3 May 1869. In addition to the listed children, there may have been another daughter, Mary (1869-1880).

Maxime married Marie Louise Boucher on 11 Oct 1852 in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Sainte-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada. Marie (daughter of Marcel Boucher and Marie Louise Roy) was born on 15 Sep 1829 in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Sainte-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada; was christened on 23 Sep 1829 in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Sainte-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada; died on 14 Apr 1919 in Four Corners, Fiskeville, Cranston, Rhode Island, USA; was buried on 16 Apr 1919 in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Arctic, West Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island, USA.

Notes:

Marie Louise Boucher Martin reportedly ran a boarding house in Providence after her husband's death. In the 1880 census of the village of Harris, Coventry, Kent County, Rhode Island, there is a Martha Martin, age 49. Living with her were her daughter, Ida, age 15; son, Joseph, age 19 (a machinist); daughter-in-law Aggie, age 20, and; granddaughter Mary, age 1. If this is the same family, then it would appear that Joseph Martin had been married previously, before marrying Maria Jean. Marie Louise Boucher was living at 499 N. Main Street, Providence, in 1885. Her son, Maxime, lived there as well. At the time of the 1900 Census, she was living at 376 Richmond Street, Providence, Rhode Island (Roll 1507, Book 1, Page 2a). She was still living at that address in 1907, as were Maxime Martin and David Plante, her son-in-law. At the time of the 1910 census, she was living on 276 Richmond Street, Providence. Living with her were son Maxim (age 56, widowed); son-in-law David Plante (age 47, widowed); her grandson David Plante, Jr. (age 24), and; her granddaughter Antoinette Plante (age 13). The census indicates that she emigrated in 1867. In the records of the Potvin Funeral Home, West Warwick, Rhode Island, her residence at the time of her death is given as Fiskeville.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1921, Arthabaska Village, Arthabaska, Québec, Canada

Notes:

The 1880 census shows Louis Jean living in Lincoln, Rhode Island, and working as a carpenter. The census also shows two nieces, Emilie and Mathilde Plamindon (?) living with the family. All his children, with the exception of Maria, were living with him. The baptismal record of his daughter, Maria, also gives his occupation as carpenter. Louis and his family returned to Canada, as his family is listed in the 1901 census of St. Norbert. The census indicates that they returned to Canada in 1882.

Louis married Célina Turcotte on 22 Nov 1859 in Saint-Norbert, Norbertville, Arthabaska, Québec, Canada. Célina (daughter of Alexis Turcotte and Charlotte Prince) was born on 20 Dec 1844; died in Jan 1914; was buried on 5 Jan 1914 in Saint-Norbert, Norbertville, Arthabaska, Québec, Canada.

At the time of the 1881 census, they were living at Butters Loan Cottage, Liff and Benvie, Lochee, and Alexander was again listed as an estate laborer. Living with Alexander and Catherine Duff were their children; James (railway laborer), Helen (jute factory worker), and Elizabeth (jute factory worker), and his mother, Jessie (Janet Will) Duff. In his death entry, he was described as a woodworkman. The information was given by his son, James Duff, of Wemyss Castle, Fife. In the marriage records of his daughter Elizabeth (1882) and his son Robert (1876), his occupation was given as forester.

Notes:

William Guthrie was described as a workman at Pow of Errol (1788), Mains of Errol (1790 and 1791), and Lorny (1794) in the baptismal records of his children. The marriage of William and Jean Tait was recorded in the minutes of the Kirk session of 9 July 1787. At the time of the 1841 census, he was living in the parish of Kinfauns. Living with him were his daughter, Helen, and her three children, Robert, Alexander, and Jean. At the time of the 1851 census, these same people were living together at Garry Cottage, Barnhill, Kinnoull Parish, Perthshire. There is no proof that three of the children (Anne, Charles, and James) listed for William and Jean Tait Guthrie were in fact their children. This may be the William Guthrie recorded in the parish records of Dunbarney as having had a child in 1804. This William Guthrie was identified as a servant to John Archer, tenant at Easter Kinmonth, which seems to differentiate him from the William Guthrie identified as a weaver in other Dunbarney baptismal records.

William married Jean Tait on 9 Jul 1787 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland. Jean (daughter of William Tait and Helen Croyle) was born in 1764; was christened on 23 Aug 1764 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland; died on 18 Jul 1836 in Kinnoull, Perthshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the death record of her daughter, Margaret Guthrie Alexander, Jean's name is given as Jane Tait. This is probably the Mrs. Guthrie whose death and burial are recorded in the parish records of Kinnoull Parish. Her burial date was 18 July 1836, and the mortcloth fee was paid on 6 July 1836. Cause of death was old age (73), and the burial was in Kinnoull.
