Ketika masih kecil ia tampil di panggung, sebagai penari berusia 5 tahun, kemudian sebagai pembaca deklamasi. Kemudian Martin belajar menggambar menggunakan mistar gambar dengan [[James Bolton]] di [[Halifax, West Yorkshire|Halifax]]. Dari tahun 1782 sampai 1785 ia bersama rombongan drama Derbyshire ketika ia bertemu [[White Watson]] dimana ia kemudian bekerjasama dalam pekerjaan fosil Derbyshire.<ref name="odnb"/> Pekerjaannya dengan fosil dan sejarah alam kemudian mengarahkannya untuk diangkat menjadi anggota [[Linnaean Society]]. Seperti halnya Watson, Martin dipengaruhi oleh karya geolog Derbyshire, [[John Whitehurst]]. Whitehurst mempublikasikan ''An Inquiry into the Original State and Formation of the Earth'' tahun 1778 yang mempunyai daftar isi penting terkait ''General Observations on the Strata in Derbyshire''.<ref name=revplayers /> Namun adalah [[Abraham Mills (geolog)|Abraham Mills]] FRS yang mempengaruhi Martin dari ilmu hewan (''zoology'') ke [[paleontologi]] pada suatu waktu sebelum tahun 1789.<ref name="odnb"/>

Martin worked with [[White Watson]] to create joint publications,<ref name=menofscience>{{cite web|title=Derbyshire's Men of Science|url=http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/images/Information%20sheet%20-%20Derbyshires%20Men%20of%20Science_tcm9-137751.pdf|publisher=Derbyshire.gov.uk|accessdate=13 February 2011}}</ref> but the partnership did not work well with Watson claiming that he was not receiving sufficient credit. Martin later published some of Watson's work on fossils using only his own name and without giving credit to Watson.<ref name=cooper>{{cite journal|last=Cooper|first=Michael P.|title=The Devonshire Mineral Collection of Chatsworth House|journal=Mineralogical Record|date=30 April 2005|url=http://www.blnz.com/news/2008/04/23/DEVONSHIRE_MINERAL_COLLECTION_Chatsworth_House_8972.html}}</ref> Martin had six children with his "unfortunate, but interesting" wife<ref name="odnb"/> who, like his parents, had been on the stage before her second marriage to Martin in 1797.<ref name="highfill"/> In 1798 their son [[William Charles Linnaeus Martin]] was born. He was given the name Linnaeus in honour of Martin's interest in the classification of living things. His son was to write numerous books on natural history after becoming the scientific officer to the [[Zoological Society]].<ref name=parker>{{cite journal|last=Parker|first=J.|title=The Gentleman's Magazine|journal=The gentleman's magazine and historical review p.536|year=1864|volume=216|url=http://books.google.co.uk/?id=Qk5FAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA536|accessdate=12 February 2011}}</ref>
