Martin's naturalization papers in Spencer County, Indiana courthouse report that he was a native of Prussia, owes allegiance to Frederick, King of Prussia, emigrated from Antwerp and arrived at New York on June 3,1850. Naturalization papers were dated August 6, 1852. Margaretha Roth was born near Frankfort, Germany, and immigrated to the US on the Ship "PACKET", Antwerp to New York, arriving on 18 June, 1851.

Two children died prior to adulthood; they are buried in St. Boniface Cemetery, Fulda. In 1856 Martin purchased 80 acres in Spencer County from his father's estate, and sold what appeared to be adjoining acreage to his younger brother Stephen.
