Parent-Proof notes for Sarah Helwig
Her find-a-grave memorial says she was the daughter of Frederick and Maria (Kieffer) Helwig.
Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Joseph (Spouse 1)
I know of Joseph as Jacob’s son based on the research of Douglas Martz, a descendant of both. He is designated P6b1.
Death and Find-a-Grave notes for Joseph (Spouse 1)
Joseph and Sarah are on find-a-grave and their sons John, David, Joseph and William Henry are linked to them.
Research notes for Joseph (Spouse 1)
An interesting “Public Notice” appeared in 1842 in the Sunbury Gazette stating that Jacob Martz and Ira T Clement purchased several diverse items (furniture and two horses) at the constable sale of the property of Joseph Martz of Augusta Township and then loaned those items back to Joseph. The only Joseph Martz I know is this one. Ira T Clement married Sarah Martz, the daughter of David Martz (P6a), Joseph’s cousin. I assume Jacob Martz was Joseph’s father.
