John Martin (Jamestown)
Capt. John Martin (c. 1560 – 1632) was a Councilman of the Jamestown Colony in 1607. He was the proprietor of Martin's Brandon Plantation on the south bank of the James River. Located in modern-day Prince George County, Virginia and known as Lower Brandon Plantation, in the 21st century, his circa 1616 plantation is both a National Historical Landmark open to tours and one of America's oldest continuous farming operations.
==Early life==
It has been assumed that Martin was the son of Sir Richard Martin (1533/4 - 1617), alderman and goldsmith of London, by his first wife Dorcas Eccleston. Sir Richard later held office as Master of the Mint and Lord Mayor of the City of London. (He is not the same as the Mr. Richard Martin (1570–1618) who was the recorder of London, counsel for the Virginia Company and organizer of The Society of Martin's Hundred, whose subsidiary "particular plantation" development circa 1618-1619 was known as Martin's Hundred).〔http://www.northamericanforts.com/East/vajames.html#carter〕 The assumption that either of these Sir Richard Martin's were his father is noted in several books about the life of Captain John Martin and or Captain John Smith and Sir Francis Drake. It is uncertain what the sources of these authors may have been. In contrary, in the book (The Visitation of Devon in 1620 by Sir Henry St.George ), we find a collection of family trees written by the actual families in question collected and compiled in the year 1620. On page 180, you will find the tree for the Martyn family written by a son of Captain John Martin by Jackametha de Browne also by the name John "Jo"(not to be confused with the son named John who died in Virginia). He notes that the father of Captain John Martin was John Martin of Bridgetown Pomeroy and provides a lineage reflecting the origin of the family as a Richard Martin of Poulehurst in Kent.
Martin commanded the ''Benjamin'' under Sir Francis Drake in the 1585–86 expedition〔Brown, pp. 943-944〕 to harass the Spanish ports in the New World. On his return, Captain Martin married Mary, daughter of Robert Brandon, a prominent English goldsmith and supplier to Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Martin accompanied Bartholomew Gosnold in his 1602 exploration of the New England coast, and it has been theorized that the island of Martha's Vineyard - spelled "Martin's Vineyard" in most 17th century references - was named after Capt. Martin.〔Banks, Charles. The History of Martha's Vineyard, Vol. I. Dukes County Historical Society, 1911. pp. 73-33〕
