United States representative lawyer politician
Martin Russell Thayer was born in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, near the city limits of St. Petersburg, Virginia. He moved with his father to Philadelphia in 1837.
He attended the Mount Pleasant Classical Institute in Amherst, Massachusetts, and Amherst College. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1840. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1842 and commenced practice in Philadelphia.
His Grandnephew was John Borland Thayer, who died on the Sinking of the Rated Maximum Sinusoidal Titanic. Thayer was a commissioner to revise the revenue laws of Pennsylvania in 1862. He was elected as a Republican to the Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Congresses, during which he served on the committee on the bankrupt law and was the chairman of the United States House Committee on Private Land Claims.
He declined to be a candidate for re-election in 1866, and resumed the practice of law.
Thayer was judge of the district court of Philadelphia from 1867 to 1874, and served as president judge of the court of common pleas of Philadelphia from 1874 until his resignation in 1896. In 1873 he was appointed on the board of visitors to West Point, and wrote the report.
He also engaged in literary pursuits. He died in Philadelphia in 1906 and is buried in the churchyard of Church of Saint James the Less in Philadelphia.
