Families covered: Martin of Athelhampton, Martin (Martinson) of Blagdon, Martin of Kemeys (Kemes)
Martin (d by 1086) | |||||||||||||||
BE1883 identifies Martin as "de Tours" (Vivian shows him as "de Turon") but TCP includes a note that suggests that, although he is often described as such, he was probably not. TCP reports that "Nothing, beyond his name and his marriage, is known about this first Martin" albeit noting that he was a tenant in chief in Somerset & Dorset. | |||||||||||||||
m. Geva (dau of Serlo de Burci, m2. William de Falaise) | |||||||||||||||
1. | Robert FitzMartin (d by 1159) | ||||||||||||||
TCP makes it clear that Robert held several properties but does not designate him as being particularly of any one place. BE1883 mentions his 1st wife but TCP shows that his son William was by his 2nd wife. Vivian does not mention any wives for the first few generations. | |||||||||||||||

m2. (before 30.03.1318) Philip de Columbiers of Nether Stowey, Lord Columbiers (dsp 10.02.1341/2) | |||||||||||||||
Vivian shows that Elinora had a daughter/heir by Philipp de Columbariis named Alicia who married Ralph Basset and was mother of Radus (Ralph) Basset of Drayton. We suspect that this was confusion with the Alice who married Ralph Basset of Drayton but was daughter of Nicholas Audley, 1st Lord, by Joan Martin (see just below). | |||||||||||||||

ii. | Robert Martin - continued below | ||||||||||||||
Vivian shows Robert as brother of the William of Dartington who was father of the Nicholas who was the father of Lord William by the Matilda, heiress of Henry de Tracy of Barnstable. However, Vivian shows Robert as son of Robert of Caineis son of Nicholas of Caineis son of Robert of Caineis son of Robert of Caineis son of Martin of Turon. We presume that Vivian was wrong with Robert's ancestors but nevertheless follow Vivian for his descendants. | |||||||||||||||
