Parent-Proof notes for Peter Helwig
He’s linked to Friederich Helwig as is father on find-a-grave. Buried in the same cemetery as Peter and Charity is Henry Helwig, Peter’s cousin assuming all the find-a-grave links are correct.
Henry is of interest since Cornelius Martz, grandson of Abraham Martz, was living in 1860 with Henry Helwig and his family. Abraham is buried in that same cemetery.
The question is: is this all coincidence or is there some connection between Abraham and Jacob Martz whose son Joseph married Peter Helwig’s sister.
