352. David MARTIN119 was born about 1700.119 Darvin Martin argues that he was probably born between Christian and Hans Heinrich and that because of the ages of his children it was probably close to 1700. He died on 10 Nov 1784 in Earl Twp., Lanc. Co., PA.119 He was buried in Weber/Martin Cem, E Earl Twp, Lanc Co, PA. Immigrant with Jacob Martin on ship Molly, Sept. 30, 1727.
Obtained a warrant for 370 acres on a branch of the Conestoga, Feb. 10, 1738. (No. 158)
A survey was made on Feb. 21, 1738.

A survey was made Oct. 24, 1726, for Henry Miller for 200 acres on a branch of the Conestoga Creek; the same day that the Weber brothers surveyed neighboring land. This land was part of the 370 acres surveyed for David Martin on Feb. 21, 1738.

Oral tradition was that the Weber brothers reserved this tract of land for their "brother-in-law" David Martin. However, Darvin Martin argues and I think rightly that David Martin probably inherited this land by marriage when he married Henry Miller's Widow.
