Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for John (Spouse 1)
We know that Israel had a son John from the 1850 and 1860 Census who was born about 1838 and indeed the death certificate of John Mertz who died in Milton says he was the son of Israel Mertz and Sophia Breininger.
John’s wife was Matilda in 1870 and 1880 and then Kate in 1900. When we first meet Kate in the 1900 Census, it seems clear that she is John's second wife (he 62, she 38) and living with John and Kate are apparently three children of Kate's from a previous marriage to Mr. Satteson.
In fact, that is all proven by John’s application to marry Katherine which says he was married in 1865 to Matilda Walborn and gave her date of death and that Katherine had been married to George Satteson and he died Oct 1885.
John is designated P5a3a.

His death certificate says he died in Milton and was to buried in the “upper cemetery” — I’m not sure whether that refers to Harmony or Milton Cemetery.
