Notes
From "Two Hundred Years With The Siders" compiled by Harold Sider and Ron Sider -
Martin was born in Canada, east of Stevensville, the youngest child of Jacob and Mary. He was probably under ten years of age when his mother died, and was most influenced by his step mother Catherine. In his father's will he was given the home property plus an additional 100 acres and was entrusted with the care of his step mother. In 1839 Martin sold the home farm east of Stevensville to Jacob Heximer. After that date nothing is known on the whereabouts of Martin and Mary except for a brief two year period when they occupied a small farm in Wainfleet Township. Although we are unable to follow Martin beyond this time, we do know that his step mother, Catherine, spent her last days with her husband's nephew, Peter Winger. Several of Martin's children settled in the areas west and north west of Stevensville, and it is possible that Martin moved on into some of the developing areas of the Niagara Peninsula.
