The Martin family is a family from the soap opera Days of Our Lives. The family debuted in 1966. A lot of characters from other families have been in a relationship or marriage with a member of the Martin family.
The Martins were one of Salem's first families, along with the Horton family. They have been noted as not only having the first death in the show's history, but also having the first murder. David Martin was murdered by his wife, Susan, after she blamed him for the accidental death of their son. Though the family has long since left Salem, the legacy is kept alive by Julie Olson, who used their family home as a bed and breakfast. In 2017 Eli Grant, David and Julie's grandson, returned to Salem.
