John's sister, Elizabeth Martin Luxton, and her husband, Thomas emmigrated with them. While the Luxton's stayed in the Cobourg area, the Martin's moved to Adelaide Township, Middlesex County in 1874 with their daughter, Emma, and son, John. Of the Martin's other children - Mary Martin Couch stayed in the Cobourg area, Cornelius (Neal) Martin and Charles Martin moved to Saskatchewan, and Elizabeth Martin Crook immigrated to Kansas after she married.
