Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for William Alexander Marts (T3a3)
Beth Rasmussen has tracked William A to Pike County, IL in 1880. She said his wife was Grucella. So when I found William A Marts in Pike County, MO in 1850 and William’s wife was Drusilla (close enough for me), I felt I had found him. My thought was Beth had mixed up her states.

When I add to that that I also found what I believe is William’s brother Henry of the right age in the same place and both Henry and William were said to have been born in Pennsylvania, I concluded I had indeed found Henry too.

William is designated T3a3.
Relocated and Census Tracking notes for William Alexander Marts (T3a3)
In 1850, William was indeed in Pike County, Missouri but then, in agreement with Beth Rasmussen, in 1880 he was in Pike County, Illinois. Basically, those two counties are across the Mississippi River from each other. However I cannot find William in 1860 or 1807, I don’t know which side of the river he was on.
