He was a municipal official in Elyton and was appointed to join the Jefferson County Commission in 1822. He represented the County in the Alabama House of Representatives in 1826.

He was also father of Alburto Martin, who followed him into the State Legislature in 1859, and father-in-law to Judge Mitchell Porter, who married the former J. Catherine Martin.
