Odell (1916) JESSE MARTIN. Being descended from a family of farmers for generations back, the gentleman of whom specific mention is here made, has the instincts of a good farmer so well imbedded in his make-up that one could scarcely imagine him as accomplishing anything short of a. highly successful agricultural business. Jesse Martin had the advantage of a good education, which is one of the most valuable aids in the achievement of things that count. Jesse Martin, a farmer near Camden, Indiana, was born on February 1, 1864, on a farm in Jackson township, two and one-half miles east of Camden, and is a son of Andrew J. and Jane A. (Mabbitt) Martin. Andrew J. Martin was the son of James Martin, who was a native of Maine and came with his parents to Butler county, Ohio, where he was married. He came with his family to Carroll county, Indiana, in 1832, and settled in Jackson township, where he lived the remainder, of his life. Andrew J. Martin was born in Butler county, Ohio, and his wife, Jane A. (Mabbitt) Martin, was born in Carroll county, Indiana. He came to Carroll county with his father and was a resident of the old farm until his death, in 1906. Mr. Martin* was a member of the Baptist church, in which he always took an active part, and his fraternal membership was with the Masonic order. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Martin, five of whom were living in 1915, Monroe, Mary E., Charles, Jesse and Mrs. Belle Stambaugh.
