Alexander Martin
Alexander Martin (1740November 10, 1807) was the fourth and seventh Governor of the U.S. state of North Carolina from 1782 to 1784 and from 1789 to 1792.
==Early life==
Born in New Jersey in 1738, to James Hugh Martin and Jane Hunter of Ireland, Governor Alexander Martin was a North Carolinian politician and delegate to the Federal Constitutional Convention. Aside from his role in the Constitutional Convention, Martin witnessed several significant chapters in colonial and early U.S. history, including the Regulator Rebellion, the Revolutionary War, and the North Carolina ratification debates.
Martin held bachelor's and master's degrees from Princeton University (then called the College of New Jersey), making him one of the most erudite delegates to the Constitutional Convention. After graduating from Princeton, Martin moved to Salisbury, North Carolina. There he worked first as a merchant and later as an attorney. As his legal career took shape, the Regulator Rebellion began. On September 24, 1770, a bevy of angry Regulators took over the Hillsboro Court. When their demonstration spilled onto the streets of Hillsboro, several lawyers, including Martin, who likely was serving as a justice of the peace, were whipped and beaten.
Governor Alexander Martin is a direct descendant of the Sir Martin de Tours, Lord Combe Martin, Devon, England, Lord Kemys,Pembrokeshire, Wales who was a leading general officer in the Battle of Hastings of 1066 for William the Conqueror.〔http://societyofsirmartindetours.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=societyofsirmartindetours&view=0&pid=223&randi=699319686〕
