Family of Martin, James Sr and Broadfoot, Janet

Married Wife Broadfoot, Janet ( * about 1704 + ... )
  Narrative

pure speculation based on grandson William McRobert who wrote that his grandmother married James Martin. Since mother, grandmother and siblings came together to America, I think it more likely that the grandmother was his mother's mother. He also wrote that they died in Albany, NY and there is a head of household "Janet Martin" in Albany, NY 1790. ( 2 free white females ) [ Both of his grandmothers were probably named Janet ]
Last record of Janet Martin is in 1802 Tax Assessment of Albany, NY
