8-greats-grandfather of Darrell Allen Martin.
Samuel was born in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, on 26 March 1645.1 He was the son of William Hartwell and Jazen (--?--). He married Ruth Wheeler on 26 October 1665.2 "Samuel served in the war against the Indians under the leadership of Philip of Pokanoket, his name appearing in the list of those to whom, or their descendants, lands were granted in 1735 . . . It seems likely that that he was one of those who made the 'hungry march' against the stronghold of Philip . . ." 3 Claims of being on the "hungry march" must be taken with a grain of salt, as, if every man who later said he was there really had been, it would have been a huge army for the times. Still, I know of no actual reason to doubt the statement. He married Rebecca (--?--) circa 1714.4 He married Elizabeth Fletcher on 6 February 1724.5 Samuel died on 26 July 1725 in Concord, Mass., at age 80.6
