I am convinced that this is Mathew - there is no Martin.After studying several pages of the census taker's handwriting, I have determined that he spelled the name as Mathu.(They weren't always the best spellers.) If you look at the 'th' in the name, you'll see that he makes a short 't' and crosses the 'h'.That's why it was so hard to decipher this name.
