ID # 8446, (1820-1888)
| Father | Peter Martin (1799-1834) |

| Birth | Michael Martin was born on 12 February 1820 at Waterloo Township, Home District, Upper Canada. |
| Marriage | He married Anna Moyer. |
| Death | He died on 29 February 1888 at Clinton Township, Lincoln Co., Ontario, at age 68. |
| Note | Ezra Eby, in his Volume 2 of biographies of Waterloo Township, page 28, devotes the 2nd paragraph of the page to Michael Martin, son of Peter Martin and Elizabeth Weber. This tells that Michael was born in Waterloo County about the year 1821 (1820 is the more accurate) and that he was raised in The Twenty (the area around Twenty Mile Creek) where he died in February of 1888. Just how accurate this is to say that Michael was raised in The Twenty has yet to be found, but the brief biograph does go to say that he married Anna Moyer and had a family of eight children. The 1851 census in Clinton Township shows Michael and Anna present with five children. The 1861 census in Clinton shows them with seven children. The 1871 census also shows them with seven children. Eby provides a list of the children's names, eight, and this is almost certainly accurate. Death reg. 010388-88 Clinton Twp., Lincoln Co. Michael Martin died 29th February, 1888, age 68 yrs. and 17 dys. Farmer. Mennonite. Born Waterloo Township, Waterloo County. Physician Dr. Clark. Informant Levi Moyer, Clinton Twp. |
