        The Gentleman's magazine, Volume 100
        HAVING had occasion to make some researches respecting the family of Martin, I am enabled to correct a most material error in the biography of Sir Henry Martin, the celerated Civilian and father of the Regicide, as it is given in Wood's Athcnx. He is there stated to be the "son of Anthony Marten of London, son of William Marten of Oakingham, in Berks, and Margaret, his second wife, daughter of John Yate, of Lyford in the same county.'' The appearance of a Henry in the Visitation of Berkshire, as the son of the above Anthony, seemed to favour this supposition. Two grounds of doubt however existed. One, the mode of spelling the name with an i, and not with a y; the other, the total difference in the armorial bearings; the family sealed at Oakingham bearing Argeni, on a bend Sable, cotised Ermine, three cinquefoils Or; whereas the coat on the monument of Sir Henry, at Longwich in Berkshire, seem* to have been, Argent, two bars Gules, each charged with three Bezants. To prove, then, that the Henry, mentioned in the Visitation, as the son of Anthony Martyn, and grandson of William Martyn, was not Sir Henry the Civilian, but another Henry, who was seated at Upham, in the parish of Aluourne, in Wiltshire:
        Anthony Martyn of London, Citizen and Grocer, of St. Dunstan's in the West suburbs, by his will (proved in 1579), directs to be buried in that Church, and mentions his wife Anne, his daughter Anne Cooke, his brother Giles Jacob, his daughter Jane Slampe, and his son Henry Martyn, to whom he leaves all his lands " to be holden of the head Lords of the fee by the services thereof due, and of right accustomed.'' One of the witnesses was Simon Slampe. That this was the Anthony Martyn, son of William of Oakingham, is proved by the fact of the Visitation mentioning the marriage with Anne, the daughter of John Jacob, and the names of two daughters, Jane and Anne.
        The books of the Inner Temple contain the entry of " Henry Mariyn de London," and "Symon Slampe de Cholsey,'' both on the same day in 1567, and both with the same sureties.
        In I&94 the will of" Symon Stampe of Wanborough, co. Wilts, gent." was proved; he names his son Martyn Stampe, his wife Jane, and his " good brother Henry Martyn, of Upham, esq." thus establishing the fact, that Henry the son of Anthony, the son of William of Oakingham, was not Sir Henry the Civilian, but another Henry sealed at Upham. That they were not one and the same individual, is proved from the will of an Edward Walrond of Albourne, esq. (whose niece, Jane Walrond, was the wife of Henry Martyn of Upham), dated 16I4, in which he bequeaths ten angels to his " friend Mr. Dr. Martyn," and six angels to his "cousin Mr. Henry Martyn of Upham," besides making both of them his executors. I am not enabled to show who was the father of Sir Henry, but we collect from the will of Edward Walrond above mentioned, that Sir Henry's wife was his cousin, in as much as he leaves to his "cousin Martyn, wife of Mr. Doctor Martyn, a ring of 10s."
        The lands bequeathed by Anthony Martyn to his son Henry, "to be held of the Lords of the fee," were obviously those at Upham, which were held under the Duchy of Lancaster, and were purchased between 1554 and 15?0 by Anthony Martyn, of his cousin James Vale, as appears from the pleadings 19 Eliz. " Anthony Marten, gent. v. Thomas Goddard, gent." They continued in the Martyn family for a considerable period, and descended, if I am not mistaken, to Henry Martin, the author of several papers in the Spectator.
        The coat which appears impaled by that of Sir Henry at Longworth, bears some resemblance to Besil, and it is highly probable that his wife was of a Berkshire family, from the circumstance of his having invested the profits of his profession in lands in that county.
        The difference in the mode of spelling the names, is shown in the books of the Civil Iaw Court, in 15g6, when Sir Henry signed his name with an i, in his admission; and again in the books of the Inner Temple in l620, when his son Henry (the Regicide) was entered; whereas in the same books, in 1601, Edward the son of Henry Martyn, of Upham, is entered with a y, his father signing as one of his sureties.
        The Martyns of Oakingham were a family of some antiquity in Berkshire; their ancestor, John Martyn, having been returned as one of the gentry in 1433. Many discrepancies exist as to the history of Sir Henry Martin. In one account he is stated to have been born in the parish of St. Michael Basinghaugh; in another at Stoke in Buckinghamshire. Le Neve (Harl. MSS. 5S01-2) gives him the same arms as those on his monument, but marries him to the daughter of Weld, whom he states as dying in 1677, while the monument at Longworth makes his wife die in 1618; and the pedigree of Weld, 3. D. 14, mentions Frances the daughter of Sir John Weld, as marrying" Martyn, brother to Sir Henry Martin." To add to the confusion, the Visitation of Hants, 1544, Harl. MSS. gives a strangely complicated coat, totally unlike either of the coals above mentioned, to "Martyn, Doctor of the Arches.'' His will, a document more to be relied on, names his niece Frances, "now serving me;'' son Henry; grandchildren Mary, Edmond, and Margaret Martin; William Pullen, " kinsman and auncient servant;'" son George Marten, daughter Edmonds, and daughter Rogers; and alludes to the will of his brother William Martin deceased.

Marten was born in the parish of St. Michael, Bassishaw, the younger son of a prosperous baker. His parents have elsewhere been given as Anthony Marten, citizen and grocer of London, and Margaret, daughter of John Yate of Lydford in Berkshire; however, this identification is unlikely. The families may well have been more distantly related, but the latter had only one son, whereas our Member was certainly the younger of two brothers. He has also sometimes been confused with his wife’s kinsman, Henry Martyn*, though they do not seem to have been related by birth.30 Marten’s inheritance was sufficient to provide him with an excellent education; he followed his elder brother to Winchester and Oxford, and into the study of the Civil Law, eventually ascending to the top of the profession.31
