Notes:

Stephens bap. 25 May 1679 by a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, across the Narrows in New Utrecht(Brooklyn) rec. is found in the Dutch Reformed Church of Flatbush, Kings Co. N.Y. in the NYHS yr bk 1898, 974.7 C4h, p. 112. & is also recorded in "The Early Settlers of Kings County, N.Y", by Tuenis Bergen, 974.723 D2b p. 201, this record also states that Francois Martino md. Teuntje Martenooy of Flatlands,( Teuntje, another form of Hanna or Ann) had Stephen bap on the date listed above.The two witness's were Jean Belleville & Hester Casier (his wife).On the same day Belleville had his son Philip bap, & the witnesses were Francois Martino & Elizabeth Ravesteijn. The bap. registration notes that parents, witnesses,and children were all from Staten Island. Source:Recs. of the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush,Kings Co. New York, vol i 1677-1720 (New York: The Holland Society of New York,1998), p 391.Stephen died before 1706 as referenced in his fathers will & was not in the 1706 census of Staten Island.
" In the 1706 census of Staten Island a Stephen Martino, a boy, probably living in the family of Jean Belliville, and his wife, according to the placement of the names in that census. At this time the grandson Stephen Martino was the only male Martino living on Staten Island, his father and grandfather both having died." Summation of Dutch researcher Harriet Stryker-Rhoda.
There are no deeds recorded for Stephen, no administration of an estate, hence we must conclude he probably was living & working on his father's estate, clearing land of virgin forest, etc. He had no need to purchase a homesite, for as his fathers only son he would naturally inherit a large share of his father's estate. The probability is that he was interred on the farm as was the custom, since there was no estalished church or cemetery on Staten Island. There is a hiatus in the records of the Dutch churches in Kings county, New York from 1694 to 1706, a period of ministerial transition and civil disturbances. This coincides with the probable mg., b. & death dates of his family.

Stephen married Mary Belleville Abt 1700, , Richmond, New York, United States. Mary (daughter of Jean Belleville and Hester Casier) was born Abt 1681, , Richmond, New York, United States; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

(1) He appears as a sml. child in the 1706 census of Staten Island under the name of Martin or Marino (Marino or Martino is Italian for Martineau), found in Gen. & Hist Mics. Vol.1 by J.E. Stillwell p. 150. Will dated 13 Apr 1779 & Will proven 4 Aug 1779, thus the last date used as his death date.-- Abstracts of N.Y. Wills as published by New York Historical Society.
Stephen was probably born on the old Dorp Farm near the Northeastern shore of Staten Island. No birth or bap. record has been found for him. Probable reasons are the same as for his father Stephen Martineau. Things get a little confusing in this line for in 1779 there were three Stephen's living on Staten Island: This Stephen(c. 1701-1779 , then about age 75+; Stephen (1727-1801) then about age 52; And Stephen (1761-1822) then age 18.

Her mg. is found in the NYG&B Society publication of mgs.1639-1801. The date 6 Nov 1725 gives her an Abt birth date twenty years earlier . She apparently was named after her mother.
There is a problem with two different Mary Martineausmarrying a Daniel Perine, I suggest that this Mary,dau. of Stephen & Mary Belleville, died & the other Mary dau. of Stephen Martineau & Anna Van De Venter, married Jacob Barager & apparently he died, & she married Daniel Perine.

No birth or bap. rec. has been found. About dates for his birth & mg.. The historian J.J.Clute gives us his Abt. dates but do not know where he found it. Stephen Martineau was probably born on the Old Dorp Farm near the Northeastern shore of Staten Island. His position in his fathers family was as the oldest son as given in his fathers will; his father had conveyed to him part of the original patented land, lying in a place which had come to be called Castletown. (1) -- Staten Island Patients,msc. at Staten Island Historical Society Vol. pps.22, 143, 267.
His Will, written, 19 May 1800, states he is in Southfield,Staten Island. Southfield was a larger area which contained ;Old Dorp, Castleton, The Manor, etc.. Staten Island is a small island,8 miles by 14 and a half miles, containing many named areas, not true towns or townships such as elswhere.
He died 9 May 1901 in Southfield & was buried in the Moravian Church Yard, New Dorp., Southfield, Staten Island,Richmond, New York. (2) -- UBMC rec. in NYG&B 974.7 B4ne Vol.4 pps. 165,

Niece Ann Stilwill - need to find who her parents are of Benjamin's siblings

Child 8 - Benjamin Martineau
He too was listed in his fathers will. Then we find Benjamins will in US/Can 974.7 B4ne Vol 4 p.215 Which tells us He died 23 May 1824 (ae 82 yr.) which gives us a birth Yr.. of 1742.
Wendell Martineau's research on the family as pertaining to Benjamin Martineau and the questions & mystery surrounding "His" children & did he ever marry & were his children mothered by a slave in his household. This is quoting Wendell Martineau, researcher: "We have always assumed he never married and indeed we have no proof that he ever did. His will was written up in such an ingeneous & unique way, which made it the only way possible to straighten out his parent's family group sheet. His will ,dated 26 May 1824, mentioned almost every member of the family either by name or, "to my niece or nephew, son or daughter of one of his sisters or brothers." One very interesting thing noticed in his will is that he very highly favoured his nephew Stephen Kettletas Sr. And his children. US/Can B4ne 974.7 Vol. 4 p 227, gives the death date & age at death of Stephen Kettletas Sr.. Also his first wife, "Ardrea Britton", died in 1813 "Ann", his widow, no maiden name given, died 28 Feb 1864, some eighteen years after the death of Stephen himself.
One very strange but interesting document came to light. File # 36, Misc. A p.396, Aug 20 1824, will # 134, then gives reference to Benjamins will # 277. What is the connection ?. Quote " Kettletas, John, b Aug 1824, Addra, about 15; Peter about 13; Ann 8 or 9; Louisa, 4-5;" grand- children of Benjamin Martino", children of Guardian their father, Stephen Kettletas." That says that Stephen Kettletas was father of the children making him the son-in-law of "Benjamin Martino" the grandfather.Let us now consider each child in turn: Addra 15. 1824 less 15= 1809. She was the daughter of Ardea Britton, Stephen's first wife who died in" 1813 ". Peter 13; 1824 less 13= 1811. Child of Ardea Britton who died "1813". We take it that John b. Aug 1824, was child of Stephen's current wife, Ann. Ann 8-9: 1824- 8-9 was born in 1815 (after 1813), She has to be child of current wife "Ann". Louisa,4-5;1824 less 4-5 was born 1819 has to be child of current wife Ann . Stephen Kettletas Sr. died 2 Aug 1846, age 81 Yr 29 da... His will names "Ann" as his wife.
Louisa Kettletas married a Samuel Frost. They were highly favored by her father in his will. This Samuel Frost was named executor of the will of Ann Kettletas, (1864), mother of Louisa(Kettletas) and Grandmother of Louisa Frost. By Anns own admission she is the mother of the same Louisa Kettletas, grandaughter of "Benjamin Martino 1824". This tells me that Benjamin Martino of 1742-1824 had a daughter Ann, maiden name Martino. The best I can do at this point is list Benjamins wife as, Mrs.Benjamin Martino on his Fam. Grp Sheet, or he was never married.. From the 1850 census of Northfield, Richmond, N.Y. p. 267, we find one Samuel Frost, head of house hold, age 32. His wife Louisa, age 31; Henry,age 7; Stephen, age 5 Anne, age 3. Apparently under the same roof was, Samuel Frost ,age 71; Catherine Frost, age 69; and Ann Kettletas. All three living grandparents of the frost children were living in the Frost home.
One disturbing thing keeps coming up; in all the census we have only found Benjamin as head of house hold, no recorded wife, and 7 slaves. The one question then is; was Benjamin married & his Mg. records lost as were his birth records, or did he father a child by a slave?, which was not an unheard of practice. We have one Jeremiah Martineau,(colored) who died of over exposier in New York City. We have record of Jack Martineau (son of a slave) who was given his freedom & was head of a house hold in Richmond County. We have on record one Lydia Martineau,(whose mother was a slave) who married a white man so the list goes on." Was he married to the mother of Ann, his daughter,wife of Stephen Ketteltas Sr.? Apparently Stephen Kettelas Sr. raised Benjamin's black (slave) children after he Benjamin died. All questions with no definite answers.
