  • Notes 
    • After John and Fanny were married, they farmed in Lancaster County
      for twenty-eight years. They were members of the Weaverland Mennonite
      Church, East Earl, Pa.
      In the spring of 1868, they moved to Franklin Co., Pa., near
      Shippensburg. John bought land on the Rowe Creek at Pinola. He purchased
      30 acres from Samuel Kyner for $850, deed dated March 18, 1868. He also
      purchased three tracts of land totaling 130+ acres with improvements,
      from Margaret Johnson for $11,880.62, deed dated March 31, 1868.
      John and Fanny lived in the brick house east of Rowe Creek. This
      farm was sold to his son, Preacher Joseph H. Martin. Later it was
      purchased by the New Enterprise Stone Quarry.
      Across the creek was a house along the Orrstown Road (Route 433).
      John added to this house and built a barn there. This farm was sold to
      his son, John J. Martin. It is now the site of the Pinola Hatchery.
      John and Fanny were members of the Rowe Mennonite Church, near
      Shippensburg, Pa. They are buried in the ole Rowe Cemetery, a short
      distance from Pinola. Their graves are located in the middle of the fifth
      row from the rear fence. ("The John Jacob Martin Family", Daniel R.
      Lehman, 1978)
