Isaac Clark's 11th Regiment, First Brigade, U.S. Infantry, under the command of General Winfield Scott.

Martin fought in the various battles of the Niagra Campaign, including Chippewa, where he distinguished himself in battle and received a battlefield promotion to corporal. He next fought at Lundy's Lane, and then finally in the Siege of Fort Erie, where he was severely wounded in a daring sortie attacking British gun emplacements during a driving rain, losing portions of his right arm and receiving a wound to the abdomen.

Martin died 14 Feb 1870 at the age of 73 years, 14 days, shortly after arriving with with his extended family in Albia, Monroe, IA.
Martin William HATCH's stone is very crudely carved, perhaps by one of his sons, and notably, the "N" in Martin is backwards. His stone notes his service during the War of 1812, and his grave is also marked by a government bronze medallion indicating "US - War of 1812 Veteran."
Martin William HATCH descended from Thomas HATCH of Barnstable. who was in turn his 4th great-grandfather.
