Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Samson Martz (H2a3b)
We know Samson as William’s son since he lived with his father in 1850 and then his older brother and widowed mother in 1860 and 1870. His death certificate gives the name of his father as William. He is designated H2a3b.
He is on find-a-grave. His birth date there is Jan 1848. Samson’s death certificate gives his brith date as 17 Feb 1840 but that is totally inconsistent with his age in Census. Moreover, his age on his death certificate says 83 years and 14 days which would suggest 17 Feb 1848.

Parent-Proof notes for Anna (Spouse 1)
I can only find one death certificate listing Samson Martz as the father and his wife’s maiden name was given as Fridline.
