Talk:Martin House (Seekonk, Massachusetts)

Simeon Martin and this house
The timeline is confusing:
 * 1754: Simeon Martin born in Rehoboth
 * 1774-ish: Martin moves to Providence ("in his youth" says Tilton, which I assume means before age 20)
 * 1776: Martin joins the Revolutionary War ("one of the first to enlist" says Tilton)
 * 1779: Martin settles in Newport and represents Newport in the general assembly
 * 1799-1801: this home built
 * 1818-1810: Martin is listed as Lieutenant Governor from Newport
 * 1811-1816: Martin is listed as Lieutenant Governor from Newport
 * 1819: Simeon Martin dies

So ... when, exactly, does Simeon Martin live in this house in Rehoboth? Does he have two residences, this massive one in Rehoboth and a smaller one in Newport so he can claim Rhode Island residency? The Rehoboth house is huge, it's not a summer house. Is this a case of marketing, to call this Martin family house the "Lieutenant Governor Simeon Martin House"?
