Note:
It is said that Martin, who ran a general store in Mount Pleasant commissioned a sign to be painted for his store and that the last name was misspelled "Prentiss" and that rather than change the sign, he changed his name.

Martin is not shown with a general store until the 1900 census, prior to that his occupation is always listed as Shoe and Boot maker. I every census prior to 1900 his name is shown as Prentiss, so the family story may or may not be true.
