Sources: Joseph Martin was one of Zahedieh's 59 largest colonial merchants, Capital and Colonies p. 63 (and 65). Joseph Martyn was one of Pettigrew's elite separate traders, Freedom's Debt p. 78. Tattersfield, The Forgotten Trade p. 300; Zahedieh, Capital and Colonies p. 65. Pettigrew p. 68 gives him as Joseph Martyn of Love Lane. J.M. Price also clearly distinguished between the two men, Price, Jacob M. “The Tobacco Adventure to Russia: Enterprise, Politics, and Diplomacy in the Quest for a Northern Market for English Colonial Tobacco, 1676-1722.” Transactions of the American Philosophical Society 51, no. 1 (1961): 1–120. https://doi.org/10.2307/1005870, p. 108. The Joseph Martin shown as captain as well as owner for the slaving voyage of the William to the Gold Coast and Antigua in 1702 (voyage no. 15117) is unlikely to have been either Sir Joseph Martin MP or Joseph Martyn merchant. https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/member/martin-joseph-1649-1729.
