Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Martin P Martz (S4a)
Peter mentioned a son Martin in his will. It make sense that the Martin Martz who shows up in Champaign County, IL where his remarried mother, his sister and several of his cousins also lived was this Martin. His age from census also fits that he was born in the brief period after Peter married and before he died. Martin is designated S4a.
Relocated and Census Tracking notes for Martin P Martz (S4a)
I can find him in 1850 and 1860 in Champaign County, IN. I cannot find him in 1870 nor any remnants of his family.
Death and Find-a-Grave notes for Martin P Martz (S4a)
He is on find-a-grave and a photo of his tombstone is there. I see no dates for him, though 1811 is posted there as his birth date. His tombstone says Company C 66th Ohio Infantry.
Discrepancies notes for Martin P Martz (S4a)
Martin is linked to the wrong mother, Henry’s widow, on find-a-grave but I’m sure he is this guy because Masanutten says his mother remarried and moved to Champaign County, IL.
Known Sons notes for Martin P Martz (S4a)
From the 1850 Census, there was Harvey and Jacob C. I have no idea what happened to Harvey. Jacob C is designated S4a1.
Parent-Proof notes for Martha (Spouse 1)
Martin married this first cousin Martha, daughter of Michael Martz. Martin’s sister Temperance married Martha’s brother.
