Timeline

1800s
Born 5 July 1803

Quebec, Canada

Son Stephen Martin lists his father's (Joseph's) birthplace as Quebec in the 1891 census. Headstone lists birthdate as 5 Jul 1803. Baptism record at St. Jacques L'Achigan indicates birth date of 9 Jul 1803
Baptized 10 July 1803 infant

Saint-Jacques-de-l'Achigan, Québec, Canada

I believe this to be the correct Joseph Martin, son of Joseph Martin and Marie Belec. Birth date is"the day before"(9 Jul 1803), so 4 days off the date on his grave, but my DNA results are positive for Martin dit Barnabe&Belec surnames.
