- At the time of her marriage, Martha was of Richmond. It identifies her father as William.
Martha Hoxie is mentioned as a daughter in the will of her father. She is also named as a grandchild in her grandmother Joan's will.
Receipt of Martha Wilcox & Robert Wilcox for legacy of grandmother Jane Potter paid by father William Potter, Admin., no date. Witnesses: William Test & Jasen Test Jr. (found online, probably Dartmouth, MA, records)
I haven't yet been able to verify the date of death.
A posting at genealogy.com has her marrying 2nd to Job Hoxsie (his 1st wife being Anna Rathbun). This posting also has her dob as 15 May 1736, which means she was age 13 at first marriage -- not likely. It says she is d/o William Potter and Mary Brownell. This appears to be accurate based on wills (see notes for her father and grandmother). I do question the date of birth, however.
Her second marriage to Job may be true, as his first wife was indeed Anne or Anna, and his will of Sep 1788 names his wife as Martha. Job is found several times in the land records, along with his father Joseph. He named a daughter Deborah, after his mother.
HOXSIE Job, of Richmond, and Anne Rathburn, of Exeter, at Richmond; m. by John Webster, Justice, March 25, 1749.
HOXSIE Job, May 21, 1731, born Richmond, to Joseph & Deborah.
The will of Job Hoxsie of Richmond, yeoman, is dtd 27 Sep 1788, proved 6 Oct 1788. It mentions wife Martha; sons Frederick, and Joseph under 21; and dtrs Deborah and Mary.
