Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for William Jackson Martz (P1c5)
We know William J from his baptism and the petition filed by his brother, Abraham, after their mother’s death. I am sure I have found him in Census in 1860 in Pottsville and 1870 and 1880 in Philadelphia as his brother, Peter S, was in also in Pottsville in 1860 and then moved to Philadelphia.
William J is designated P1c5.

Parent-Proof notes for Mary (Spouse 1)
The death certificate of Katie S Jones (1861-1939) says her parents were Wm Martz (born Germany, not accurate) and Mary Thomas (born Wales, which agrees with what Mary herself aid in the 1880 Census).
The death certificate of William J Martz (1854-1906) says his parents were William J Martz and Mary Thomas.
Her own death certificate also confirms her Wales birth, daughter of David H and Ann Thomas.
