The Rockingham Martz tree says that Martin married Mary Oroark 22 Oct 1800. Her memorial on find-a-grave gives her maiden name as Roreck, and it can be found spelled that way on other Rockingham materials.

Mary is on find-a-grave as is a photo of her tombstone which is basically unreadable today. She is, though, listed on the Rockingham Historical Society cemetery database next to Martin. They show Mary died 7 Mar 1855 age 79 years (1776) buried at the Martz Cemetery in the Tenth Legion area.

Martin was named in his father’s will and from the order, it would seem that he was Sebastian’s second youngest son. However, I believe Peter was listed out of order and I believe Martin was actually the seventh and youngest.

Martin is designated S7.

Martin died before the 1840 Census but his wife Mary was reported in his place in 1840 and 1850.

In 1810, there is a young female age 0-4 in his household and a male 16-25 — too old to be Martin’s son. In 1820, there is no young female but now a son age 10-15. And then in 1830, there is a young male 10-14 and a young female 15-19.

Then in 1840, Mary lives with a male 10-15 and one 20-29 and two young females in the same two age brackets and also an older female closer to her own age. And then in 1850, Mary lives with no Martzes.

It is very hard to make the case that any of these younger persons in any of these years were Martin’s children and if any were, that they survived to the next Census — based on analysis of the tick marks.

I suspect Martin and Mary had no children who survived to adulthood. No children are listed for them in any of the various sources that cover the Rockingham Martz family.

Martin is on find-a-grave and his memorial is consistent with the Rockingham Historical Society cemetery database. Martin was born 27 Aug 1778 died 18 Feb 1840 and was buried at the Martz Cemetery in the Tenth Legion area.
