Martin was the third of seven children born to Martin Draper and Sally Fisher of West Dedham and Dover, Mass. He was married in Somerville, Mass. on 15 August 1848 to Sarah MORRISON, the daughter of Nathanial P. and Susan Morrison of Somerville. Martin attended Phillips Academy, Andover, and appears in an 1846 list of students there. He became a teacher at Walnut Hill School in Somerville, then was elected Principal of the Prospect Hill Grammar School in Somerville. After remaining in that position for five years he joined his brother Warren F. Draper in the printing and publishing business at Andover. Following two years in that business, he became a bookkeeper in a bank, then in 1856 became an officer in the National Bank of North America, in which position he remained until his death. In 1879 he compiled and copyrighted an interest table for computing interest on daily balances, used by bank bookkeepers.
In 1850 Martin was living with wife and infant daughter in Somerville in the home of his wife's parents. By 1860 he had moved to Cambridge, where he was the head of the household living with his wife, two children, a servant, and his mother-in-law. In 1864 he purchased an estate on North Avenue in North Cambridge where he lived until his death, and he appears on the 1870 and 1880 censuses for Cambridge. He was a great lover of music.
