From The Dewey Family Website:

Martin married first, Elizabeth Dewey, his cousin, the daughter of James and Elizabeth (Ashley) Dewey. After Elizabeth's death, Martin married her sister, Anna Dewey.

On 23 September 1743, Martin bought from Aaron Gunn, husbandman, for £90, 1-1/2 acres with a house in Westfield, formerly Daniel Gunn's place. This land was bounded south on Joseph Rood, east on David King, north on the highway, and west on Aaron Gunn.

By trade, Martin was a blacksmith. In 1755, Martin Dewey's name appears on "a list of 151 men voluntarily inlisted in to his Majesty's service for reinforcing the army destined for Crown Point, out of the Southern regiment in Hampshire county". In 1756, he served 13 weeks in Capt. Benjamin Day's co. of Springfield, roll dated March 5th.

He was credited with 26 days of service on an alarm in August, 1757, for the relief of the garrison at Fort William Henry, in Capt. David Mosely's company.

Martin was a Selectman at Westfield in the years 1757-58.

Martin died leaving Anna barely three months pregnant with their second child, Archibald.
