This is the original "MARTIN" tree that was quoted on Ancestry.  Please note that it is only my direct line ancestors and I have other branches on my tree on my computer so I will look at some of your MARTIN ancestors  Although my mother obviously knew the Blenheim MARTIN family, I never checked back on them when she was alive (head hung)

Hi

   
      1.  John Thomas1 BROOKS (3429).  John Thomas (3429) and Esther McCubbins (3430) may not have been married as it appears that John Thomas Brooks' (3429) second wife, Hester Sturch (12678), did not die until 1846 by which time John Thomas (3429) and Esther (3430) had had  four children.  John (3429) was born in 1801 in Moreton Pinkney, NTH, ENG;      .  He was baptized on 24 May 1801.  He was also known as John Thomas Brookes (3429).  .
   
          He married first Sarah Wilson (12652) on 19 Feb 1822 in Moreton Pinkney, NTH, ENG;    .  He became a widower upon the death of his wife Sarah Wilson (12652) before 4 Jun 1824.  .
   
          He married second Hester Sturch (12678), daughter of William Sturch (20658) and Ann Crockett (20659), on 21 Mar 1825 in Shipston-On-Stour, WOR, ENG.  He was a pig dealer on 12 Apr 1826.  As of 24 Oct 1827, he was also known as John Thomas Brewks (3429).  .
   
   These are Esther McCubbins’ children that I have
   
1841 census shows Esther female wife age 35
1851 Census does not show Esther

1841  census does not show Sophia
1851 census shows Sophia female daughter age 9 scholar

I do have more but some are still alive
