Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Johan Peter (Spouse 1)
Peter Martz (T3) died in Franklin County, PA. His eldest son was Peter and he had three other sons. His will specified that his son Peter was to help his mother until the age of 21.
Peter, the father, was clearly the Peter of the 1790 and 1800 Census in Franklin County and so it seems obvious that the younger Peter who was listed there in 1810 was Peter’s son.
As such, the son is designated T3a.

Relocated and Census Tracking notes for Johan Peter (Spouse 1)
Peter Martz (II) steps up and, at age 22, becomes the head of household in the 1810 Census in Franklin County, PA where his father had previously been found.
It is clear from analysis of the tick marks in that Census that his mother lived in his household — the female age 45+— and probably most of the rest of her children. The two males age 10-15 and the extra male (in addition to Peter II himself) age 16-25 are no doubt his brothers. The female 10-15 and the extra female 16-25 (assuming the other of that age is the wife of Peter II) are no doubt his sisters. In addition there are two children, one male, one female, age 0-9, who must be Peter II’s children.
I cannot find Peter, even considering that he may then be calling himself John P, in 1820. There was a Peter Martz in Somerset County but the tick marks make no sense for this Peter, on the other hand I do not know who he was.
He was in Peters Township, Franklin County, PA in 1830 and 1840.
Jno P Marto, shoemaker, was reported in the 1828 PA Septennial Census in Peters Township, Franklin County.
