Parent-Proof notes for Catherine Snider
The Masanutten book says that Sebastian married Catherine Snyder, daughter of Valentine, 16 Feb 1819.
Death and Find-a-Grave notes for Catherine Snider
As of summer 2015, there is no evidence of her on find-a-grave. However, she is listed in the cemetery database at Rockingham Historical Society. She was buried at the Martz Cemetery in the Mountain Valley area with the dates I show for her.
Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Sebastian (Spouse 1)
There is general agreement in the various sources that cover the Rockingham Martz family as to the names of John’s sons. There is not as much agreement as to their order of birth, but I believe the Masanutten book is totally consistent with everything else I have learned from tombstones and Census.
I believe Sebastian was John’s oldest son. He is designated S1a.

Relocated and Census Tracking notes for Sebastian (Spouse 1)
In 1820, Sebastian Martz is listed in Rockingham. A male 16-25 is present and one 45+. This Sebastian would have been 29. His grandfather would have been 45+ but he definitely had died. So it must be the younger Sebastian in Census, but then who is the older male?
