Immigration

Gramps ID E3541
Date between 1860 and 1863

Narrative

On the 1900 Census it states that Martin came to the US in 1868. However, he was married to Catherine in Oct of 1868.
On the 1870 Census it states that Martin is a Naturalized citizen of the US. In 1870 immigration laws stated that an adult male can apply for citizenship 5 years after arriving and setting up a residence.
This would place his time of immigration prior to 1863.
I am unable to find any records of him in the 1860 Census
