Martin Van Buren Poland 1835 to 1889

Martin Poland was the youngest child of William Poland and Mary Swadley. Martin was born April 11, 1835 in Indiana. He married Rachel Lyons on March 11, 1858 in Indiana. 


Martin and Rachel had 3 children in Indiana (Hannah Amanda, Mary Ann and John Edd) before moving west. They had 1 child in Illinois (Sarah Catherine), 1 child in Iowa (Joseph William), and 1 child in Missouri (James Henry) before they landed in Kansas. Martin and Rachel had 4 more children in Kansas (Margaret, Nicholas Nathaniel, Martin Van Buren Jr, and George Christopher). Poor little Margaret only survived 1 day. The rest of Martin and Rachel's children lived to adulthood with most of them rearing large families.
