Old Parson Martin was probably a member of the family of Martin of
Durham, whose pedigree is given in Surtees, Durham, vol. iv. pt. 2, p. 149.
The Robert Adamson named in the text has sometimes been confused with
Mr. Robert Adamson, M.A., vicar of Chollerton from 1662 until his death,
when he was buried in his own church, 27th Jan., 1688 9. In the Chollerton
Registers are several entries relating to his family, from which it appears
that he married his first wife, Margaret, on the 14th of August, 1648. The
baptisms of their children, born before going to Chollerton, are as follows :—
Robei't, baptized 1 Sejjt. , 1650; Esther, baptized 16 May, 1654; Sai-ah,
baptized 20 Dec, 1655 ; Richard, baptized 29 May, 1657.

His name does not appear in the pedigree of Rowe of Plawsworth given
in Surtees, Durham, vol. ii. p. 20.3.
