    Martinus Rhein is op 20-1-1710 geboren in Spangenberg, Hessen. Hij was eerst kleermaker ("Van Eck left behind him a garrison of 1800 men under the command of de Feber, pending the arrival of Marten Rein, once a tailor, who had been appointed Commandant"). Hij vertrok op 6-9-1730 met de VOC als soldaat (vermoedelijk bij het regiment Hessen-Kassel) op het schip "Noordwaddinxveen" en arriveerde op 20-7-1731 te Batavia. In Nederland werd hij Marten Rein genoemd. Later was hij gestationeerd in Colombo, Gale, Trincomalee en Kandy, waar hij op 3-4-1765 op zijn sterfbed zijn testament liet opmaken. Hij overleed op dezelfde dag als commandant (Commandeur of Opperkoopman) te Kandy, in dienst van de VOC. Volgens het scheepsboek (VOC 14716/197) is zijn neef en enige erfgenaam Justus Hieronymus (roepnaam Hieronimus) Herwig, de zoon van zijn zuster Margretha Elisabeth Rein. Marten (Martin) Rein was getrouwd met Rebecca Schodt (Schot). Zij waren op 12 oktober 1753 de peetouders van de dopeling Martinus Runstdorff.

    "On the 22 February (1765), the Governor made the following appointments: Marten Rein, Opperkoopman, acting as President of the Political Council at Colombo in the Governor's absence, to be Commandeur of Kandy with a status corresponding to that of the Commandeurs of Jaffna and Galle."

    "After handing over to Commandeur Rein, Colonel Feber left for Colombo with his troops on the 28th. During this period, Rein had become unwell with high fever and after ailing for about ten days he eventually died on 3 April, to everybody's consternation. He was given a burial with full military honours."

    "As for the political environment during this period, the Dutch invaded Kandy in 1763 during the time of Governor Baron von Eck and held it for a few months. The 8000 strong battalion suffered severely from famine and sickness while they faced occasional attacks from the Sinhalese. The death of Martin Rein, the commander stationed in Kandy, from fever created chaos among the Dutch soldiers most of whom began to come down to Colombo. There was further confusion among the Dutch with the sudden death of Governor van Eck. His successor Iman Willem Falck (1765-1785) put an end to the war with Kandy by signing a treaty with King Kirti Sri on 14 February 1766."

    "Martin Rein was Dissave of Matara, 1737-1739. He was a native of Hesse Cassel (might be a misinterpretation; Hessen-Kassel was a military regiment!), and arrived in Ceylon in the year 1731, in the ship " Noordwoordigsveen."
