From: Auswanderer-Nachweise, Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt: (http://www.hadis.hessen.de/scripts/HADIS.DLL/home?SID=DF20-4DE028C-BD796&PID=235)

Andreas Martin (41, b Armsheim abt 1799; but now of Gensingen; shoemaker) and Maria Barbara geb. Hauck emigrated April 1840 with five children, his mother-in-law (no name provided), widow of Jacob Hauck, geb. Schneider (age 78; therefore b 1762) and his wife’s sister, Maria Magdalene Hauck (38; therefore b 1802). Children:

1. Margarete (9; b 1831)
2. Valentin (7; b 1833)
3. Magdalene (5; b 1835)
4. Jacob (3; b 1837)
5. Catharina (1/2 year; b 1839)

From Jul 1840 Wellingsly ship's passenger list, page 2, this grouping:

• Martin, Andreas 41
• Hauck, Barbara 38
• Hauk, Apolonia 78
• Hauck, Margaretha 35
• Martin, Margaretha 8
• Martin, Valentin 7
• Martin, Magdelena 6
• Martin, Jacob 4
• Martin, Catharina 9 mons

Slight discrepancies:

• Barbara is listed on passenger list as Hauck and not Martin
• Ages of some of the people are off a bit

But otherwise, the grouping on the "Wellingsly" matches the group on the emigration documentation.

From 1850 Census: Lyons, Wayne Co., NY (without Appolonia; and without the youngest two children all of whom must have died in the intervening 9 years):

• Andrew Martin, 52, laborer, b. Germany
• Barbara, 48 [therefore b 1802]
• Margaret, 19
• Folten [Valentin], 16
• Lana [Magdalena], 14
• Magdalena Houk, 46

1860 US Census: Lyons, Wayne Co., NY:

• Andrew Martin, 62, day laborer, b. Hesse Darmstadt
• Barbary 58
• Valentine, 27, day laborer

Can’t find Andrew and Barbara in 1870; Valentine is married and raising a family.
