The parents of Martin Martin are unknown. There are two popular theories, but neither has documentary evidence.

Parents previously attached to this profile were Thomas Martin and Rebecca Higgins. This follows the legend of an Isle of Skye origin in Scotland. A book listing the children of Thomas Martin and Rebecca Higgins does not show a son named Martin.[16] Y-DNA evidence from Martin's descendants who have the R-YP658 haplogroup indicates a British rather than Scottish origin.[17]

Others suggest that his parents were George Martin and Ursula Unity Susannah West. John Russell formulated an argument against this theory: "George Martin and Unity West were apparently born in the mid to late 1650s and were married in about 1676. However, Martin Martin is listed on a processioning order dated May 4, 1689, which presumably includes only landowners age 21 or over. If so, then this Martin Martin must have been born in or before 1668, at least eight years before the marriage of George Martin and Unity West and at a time when Unity was only about 11 years old." See his post for additional information. John Russell, "Martin Martin, son of George Martin & Unity West?", 23 Jun 2011.
