Henry Martin

Lifespan: 1831 – 1896

FamilySearch ID: LYS2-3P2

Summary

Born August 18, 1830 at or near the city of Belfast, Ireland (per his 1896 Advocate obituary — supersedes the vaguer “County Down” framing). Known as “Harry.” Don’s 4x great-grandfather. The Irish ancestor that Betty (Schmidt) Krumpos remembered. Emigrated 1851 to New York state; fall 1854 moved to Cedar River, Michigan, lumbering until spring 1857; arrived Sturgeon Bay July 1857, worked in Lyman Bradley’s mill, then settled on a farm in the town of Sevastopol. Served as postmaster of Sevastopol for ~14 years and town treasurer for 15 successive years — a pillar of the community. On November 12, 1862 married “Mrs. Eliza Peters” — a widow (née Hutchinson, c. 1830, Canada — to English/Scottish parents); the marriage produced “four sons and three daughters” per the obituary, meaning some of the older household children were likely Eliza’s from her first marriage. A sister, Mrs. John Keho(e), lived in Door County. Died shortly after midnight, August 11, 1896, at neighbor Rudolph Zettel’s home, of cancer of the stomach, age 65 (one week before his 66th birthday). Buried Bayside Cemetery (FindAGrave #57705649).

Obituary #2 (Door County Democrat, Aug 15, 1896 — full text)

Death of An Old Settler.

Harry Martin, aged 66 years, of the town of Sevastopol died of cancer of the stomach at noon on Tuesday last, after an illness of four months duration. Deceased was a native of Ireland, and had lived thirty-eight years on the farm in Sevastopol. He was therefore one of the best known residents of the county. He was postmaster of the Sevastopol post-office for about fourteen years, and treasurer of the town for fifteen successive years. A few weeks ago his residence was burned, and being very ill at the time, Mr. Martin was taken to his nearest neighbor, Rudolph Zettel, where the comforts of a good home were bestowed upon the sick man during his last days. He leaves three grown up sons, living respectively at Marinette, Manitowoc, and Kewaunee. The funeral was held on Thursday, Rev. David Lewis conducting the last sad rites. Interment was made in Bayside cemetery, to which last resting place the remains were followed by a very large number of sorrowing friends and neighbors.

Research Notes

Two obituaries, one week [2026-07-15]

• The Advocate (“Death of a Pioneer”) and the Democrat (“Death of An Old Settler”) ran the same week, Aug 15, 1896. The Advocate is far richer and corrects/expands the Democrat: arrival July 1857 (not “38 years → c. 1858”), Belfast birth, Cedar River interlude, the widow-Peters marriage.
• Discrepancy: Advocate says he died “shortly after 12 o’clock Monday night” (= early Tuesday, Aug 11 — matches the headstone); Democrat says “noon on Tuesday.” Advocate wins on specificity.
• The Democrat’s “three grown up sons, living respectively at Marinette, Manitowoc, and Kewaunee” vs. the Advocate’s “only ones now living are Henry, Lifelet and David” — same three sons, and Eliphlet IS listed (as Lifelet), resolving the old “curiously not in the obituary” note.

Death date and age — resolved

• Find A Grave: born Aug 18, 1830, died Aug 11, 1896 (age 65). FamilySearch tree originally said 1831–1896.
• Obituary says “aged 66” — he was 7 days short of his 66th birthday. Rounded up.
• 1870 census said age 39 (→ born c. 1831) — off by one year, common in census records.
• “38 years in Sevastopol” → 1896 minus 38 = arrived c. 1858. Matches the timeline.
• The “1901” dates on some FamilySearch sources are likely indexing dates, or Eliphlet’s 1901 marriage record listed his deceased father’s name.
• Died of cancer of the stomach after 4 months illness. House burned weeks before death — taken to neighbor Rudolph Zettel.

Civic life

• Postmaster of Sevastopol for ~14 years — a federal appointment, significant responsibility in a rural community.
• Town treasurer for 15 successive years — elected position, trusted with public funds.
• “One of the best known residents of the county.” Funeral attended by “a very large number of sorrowing friends and neighbors.”
• This was not a marginal immigrant — Henry became a respected civic leader.

Irish origin — reframed to Belfast [2026-07-15]

• The Advocate obituary states he was born “at or near the city of Belfast” — the most specific origin statement in any source, and it supersedes the vaguer “County Down” inference. Belfast straddles Counties Antrim and Down, so the two are compatible; the search should target greater Belfast, including the Co. Down side (Ballymacarrett, Knockbreda, Holywood parishes).
• The “Nancy Storm of County Down” claim is now suspect as stated: Storm is essentially absent as a County Down surname. Ros Davies’ Co. Down surname database (~800K entries) has zero Storm entries (the alphabet jumps Storey/Story → Stormonth); PRONI’s free name search (1740/1766 census fragments, 1775 petitions, pre-1858 will indexes) has zero exact Storm — only Stormont(h)/Stormey variants, all Belfast-area, none Co. Down proper. irishgenealogy.ie civil records (Co. Down, 1845–1921) hold exactly one exact-Storm record: death of William Storm, 1887, Belfast district, age 63 (b. ~1824 — Henry’s generation; group reg. 6949333; image free online — the informant/address could tie to Nancy’s family).
• Possible readings: Nancy’s family was Belfast-urban rather than rural Down; or “Storm” is a mangling of Stormonth/Storey; or the FamilySearch claim is simply wrong. Only the original 1862 marriage record settles it.
• 1830 birth and 1851 emigration predate Irish civil registration (1864) entirely — church registers are the only Irish birth-era sources, and Co. Down church records are NOT on free irishgenealogy.ie (Dublin/Kerry/Cork/Carlow only). Indexed Down registers = rootsireland.ie (paywalled, Ulster Historical Foundation); originals at PRONI in person.
• County Down is in northeastern Ireland (modern Northern Ireland), near Belfast. Major towns: Downpatrick, Newry, Banbridge, Newtownards.
• Born during the lead-up to the Great Famine (1845–1852). Henry was 15–22 during the worst famine years — prime age for emigration.
• The family was almost certainly Ulster Irish Protestant — not Catholic. Evidence: English surname “Storm” (mother), Protestant funeral (Rev. David Lewis), Christian Science in next generation, biblical name “Eliphalet” for son. County Down was heavily Protestant (Church of Ireland, Presbyterian) due to the Plantation of Ulster (1600s), when English and Scottish Protestants were settled in northern Ireland by the Crown.
• The Martins may be ethnically English or Scottish, settled in Ireland since the 1600s — culturally Irish but Anglo-Irish or Scots-Irish in origin.
• Martin is the 10th most common surname in Ireland, particularly associated with:
  • County Galway — one of the “Tribes of Galway” (14 merchant families)
  • Counties Clare, Tyrone, Westmeath, Limerick
• Without a specific parish or townland, tracing further in Irish records will be difficult. Irish civil registration didn’t begin until 1864; earlier records are parish-based (Catholic or Church of Ireland).

1860 census index hit — Washington township? [ADDED 2026-07-15, UNVERIFIED — now weakened]

• Genealogy Trails’ 1860 Door County census surname index lists Henry Martin, 30, male, born Ireland, town of WASHINGTON — the only Irish-born Martin in the county that year (the other two Martins are Belgians in Brussels township).
• Age (b. c. 1830) and birthplace match our Henry exactly — but the Advocate obituary (found later the same day) says he was at Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol from July 1857, and in 1860 he was single (married 1862), so a lone Irish Henry Martin boarding on Washington Island isn’t impossible — mill and fishing labor moved around — yet it no longer fits the “family in Sevastopol” picture the index hit originally suggested.
• Resolve by pulling the original 1860 census image (FamilySearch/Ancestry, Door County, town of Washington) — household composition would settle it in one look. Per source hierarchy: census images > transcriptions. Also check the Sevastopol/Sturgeon Bay pages for him.

Migration path: Ireland → New York → Michigan → Wisconsin [REWRITTEN 2026-07-15 per Advocate obituary]

• 1851: emigrated from the Belfast area to New York state (age ~21). Likely entered at the Port of New York (Castle Garden opened 1855; earlier arrivals landed at the wharves).
• Fall 1854: moved west to Cedar River, Michigan (Menominee County, UP lumber country) — followed lumbering until spring 1857. Previously unknown chapter.
• July 1857: arrived Sturgeon Bay; worked in Lyman Bradley’s mill; then located in Sevastopol — “his home for something like thirty-nine years.”
• This timeline removes the old puzzle of “Elias born New York c. 1853 / Charles born Wisconsin c. 1856”: Henry was single and in Michigan in 1856. Those children now read as Eliza’s from her first (Peters) marriage — see Marriage section.
• By 1870, Henry was a farmer with $1,000 in real estate and $375 in personal property — established, not destitute.

Marriage — Eliza was a widow, “Mrs. Eliza Peters” [REVISED 2026-07-15]

• The Advocate obituary: “On November 12, 1862 Mr. Martin was united in marriage to Mrs. Eliza Peters, the ceremony being performed by Judge M. E. Lyman at the home of Joseph Lavassor in the then village of Sturgeon Bay.” So Hutchinson was her maiden name; Peters her first husband’s. This dissolves the old “three children born before the formal marriage” puzzle — those children (Elias b. NY c. 1853, Charles c. 1856, John c. 1857, possibly Eliza c. 1860 and William c. 1861) are most plausibly Eliza’s children by Peters, enumerated under “Martin” in the 1870 census.
• The obituary counts the marriage’s own issue as “four sons and three daughters” — the four sons fit Henry Lincoln (b. Nov 1864), James W (b. 1865), David W (b. 1867), Eliphlet (b. 1869); daughters plausibly Ann Jane/Annie J (b. 1871, d. 1891), “Jennie D J Martin” (d. Sept 4, 1881, WHS death index), and one more — the Card of Thanks signers Mrs. Chas. Walker and Mrs. Thos. Melville are the surviving married daughters or stepdaughters (note: Eliphlet’s 1956 pallbearers were Walkers — the families stayed close).
• 1860 census image pulled and read same day (see eliza-hutchinson.md for the full analysis): first husband = Martin Peters, 39, farmer, b. IRELAND, $700/$175, Nasewaupee — alive July 1860, gone by Nov 1862. Column-11 ticks show Martin and Eliza “married within the year” (1859–60) — so the Peters children (full roster across pages 34–35: Elias 7 NY, Mary J 6 NY, Charles 4 WI, John W 2 WI, Eliza A 1 WI) are most plausibly Martin Peters’ by an earlier wife who died c. 1859: Eliza’s stepchildren, then Henry’s step-stepchildren after 1862. William (b. c. 1861, between the marriages) is plausibly Martin × Eliza’s one child together — hence “William Peters” in the 1880 household. The 1870 “nine children” household was three families deep. Name inversion noted for the record: Martin Peters → Henry Martin.
• The 1880 “son-in-law William Portos/Peters (18)” in the household now reads differently: an 18-year-old named PETERS (b. c. 1862) is more plausibly Eliza’s son by her first marriage than a son-in-law. The “William Martin (c. 1861)” of the 1870 census may be the same boy, counted as a Martin. Needs the census images.
• 1870 census lists Eliza’s birthplace as Canada — not England as Eliphlet reported in 1920. Likely born in Canada to English/Scottish-immigrant parents (Thomas Hutcheson and Sophia Miller).
• Eliza died October 17, 1884 (FindAGrave #130255266 — exact date new), when Eliphlet was about 15. Henry survived her by 12 years and “lived alone ever since.”

The household

• Nine children in 1870 — but per the 1896 obituary, a blended family: Eliza’s Peters children plus the marriage’s “four sons and three daughters.”
• 1875 Wisconsin state census: only 3 males and 2 females in the household — down from 11 people in 1870. The blended-family reading softens the old “2-3 young sons died 1870–75” inference: Peters children reaching majority (and possibly reverting to the Peters name elsewhere) would also thin the household. Still unresolved — needs the census images.
• Fates of the marriage’s four sons (Bayside memorials, 2026-07-15): Henry Lincoln Martin (Nov 1864–1923); James W Martin (1865 – Sep 15, 1885, died at ~20); David W. Martin (1867 – Jun 7, 1901; WHS death index “David Washingt” — middle name Washington?); Eliphlet (1869–1956). By Henry’s 1896 death the three living sons (Henry, Lifelet, David — Democrat: at Marinette, Manitowoc, and Kewaunee) match exactly.
• Daughter Annie J Martin, 1871 – Sep 25, 1891 (Bayside #130255265) — died at 20; matches “Ann Jane” of the 1880 census.
• Eliphlet curiously not listed in the obituary — resolved: he’s “Llfelet/Lifelet” in the Advocate obituary and Card of Thanks.
• Sister found [2026-07-15]: “Mrs. John Keho was called to Sevastopol last Saturday by the serious illness of her brother, Henry Martin” (Advocate country correspondence, Aug 15, 1896). First known sibling — a sister who also emigrated and lived in Door County. Kehoe is an Irish surname; her marriage record (Wisconsin or earlier) could independently name the parents. High-value new thread.
• Naming pattern carried forward: Eliphlet later named his own sons John and Henry — matching household names; note “John” may have been a Peters half-brother.

Henry as farmer and civic leader

• By 1870, owned $1,000 in real estate and $375 in personal property. Modest but solid for Door County.
• Rose from immigrant farmer to postmaster and town treasurer — positions of trust and authority. This was a man who became a pillar of his community, not a marginal figure.
• Door County in the 1850s-1860s was raw frontier — lumber, fishing, farming. Irish immigrants came for the same opportunities as the German and Scandinavian settlers.
• The funeral officiant, Rev. David Lewis, may indicate a Protestant affiliation (Lewis is common in Methodist/Presbyterian clergy). This aligns with the family’s later Christian Science connection — they were Protestant, not Catholic. Many Irish immigrants were Protestant (Church of Ireland, Presbyterian), particularly from Ulster.

Eliza’s Canadian birth

• The 1870 census lists Eliza as born in Canada, not England. The 1920 census (Eliphlet’s record) says mother born in England — but Eliphlet was reporting from memory, 36 years after Eliza’s death. He may have meant her parents’ origin, or may have simply been wrong.
• Eliza’s parents on FamilySearch: Thomas Hutcheson (1808–?) and Sophia Miller (1805–?), whose mother was Margaret Laing (1783–?, Scottish). The Hutcheson/Miller family likely emigrated from England/Scotland to Canada (Upper Canada/Ontario) in the early 1800s, where Eliza was born c. 1830.

Father: Henry Martin Sr.

• FamilySearch shows a father also named Henry Martin with no dates — just “Deceased.” FamilySearch ID: L1C9-XB2.
• LDS temple ordinances have been performed, suggesting this record was contributed by LDS researchers. Should be verified against primary sources.
• If Henry Sr. was also Irish-born, the family was in Ireland for at least two generations before emigration.

Mother: Nancy Storm — County Down, Ireland

• From County Down, Ireland per FamilySearch (source: Henry Jr.’s November 12, 1862 marriage record, which listed his parents’ origin).
• Storm is an English surname (first recorded Norfolk, 1206). Nancy was likely descended from Plantation of Ulster settlers — English Protestants who were settled in northern Ireland in the 1600s. The Storm family had likely been in County Down for 200+ years by Nancy’s time.
• No dates recorded. FamilySearch ID: L1CS-95F.

Next steps [reworked 2026-07-15]

1. Order the Nov 12, 1862 marriage record (WHS Vol 1, p. 11, seq 04142, record MR1538282; or Door County Register of Deeds). The alleged primary source for “Henry Martin Sr. & Nancy Storm” — the whole Irish line hangs on reading it directly. Also names Eliza as widow Peters.
2. Order Eliphlet’s Oct 2, 1901 marriage record (WHS Vol 2, p. 217, seq 04546, MR1532805) — era records list both parents; independently re-tests “Nancy Storm.”
3. Mrs. John Keho(e) — the sister thread: her marriage record (WHS index / Door County), census entries, and obituary could name the Irish parents a third way. Also PRONI Will Calendars (browser only — rejects scripted requests) for Storm AND Kehoe.
4. Belfast re-aim: PRONI Street Directories (free, 1819–1900) for Storm and Martin in Belfast; view the free image of William Storm’s 1887 Belfast death (irishgenealogy.ie group reg. 6949333) — informant/address may tie to Nancy’s family. Griffith’s Valuation retry (askaboutireland.ie 403-blocks US connections — use FamilySearch free account, a non-US connection, or library access): Storm all-Ulster, then Martin in any parish with Storms.
5. Naturalization records — as postmaster, Henry MUST have been a citizen; Door County courthouse. Would state origin precisely.
6. Census images (FamilySearch login): 1860 town of Washington (verify the index hit); 1870/1880 pages to re-read the children under the Peters hypothesis; 1850 New York (Henry ~20, possibly with parents).
7. Newspaper follow-ups (archive.co.door.wi.us — POST query1=“phrase” to /jsp/RcWebSearchResults.jsp; OCR at /servlet/RcWebTextData): Sept 19, 1896 Advocate (probable estate/probate notice); the May 1, 1875 “Henry Martin” Door County marriage (WHS MR1538276 — identify this second Henry); Mrs. Chas. Walker and Mrs. Thos. Melville (the married daughters/stepdaughters).
8. Search-spelling key for this family in the Door archive: “Lifelet” (19 hits), “Eliphlet” (24 hits), phrase “Life Martin”, index spelling “Elephlet”; “Henry Martin” + Sevastopol for the father.
9. Rev. David Lewis — identify denomination. If Presbyterian/Methodist, supports Ulster Protestant origin.
10. Eliphlet’s obituary (1956) — FOUND (Advocate, Aug 7, 1956, as “Life Martin”) — see eliphlet-martin.md.
