I don't have any pictures of Johan Adam Martin. Johan left Schondra Germany around 1839, along with his wife Elizabeth "Spahn" and son Bonaventure. They arrived in New York and made their way to Hamilton Co., Ohio, where he worked as a farmhand and Elizabeth was a housekeeper. There they had 2 more sons "John M and Andrew", After the birth of Andrew they moved to St Wendel, IN. That's where their 4th child Mary was born in 1846.

John M Martin, born Hamilton Co, Ohio in 1841, Died 1890 in St Wendel In.
