Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for John S (Spouse 1)
There were several baptisms of Martzes in Milton. In Nov 1822, Susan and Abraham Martz baptized son Peter Schwartz. And then, later, Susan alone (I believe Abraham had died) in 1838, baptized John born 11 Dec 1811 and two additional sons and two daughters.
Abraham was the only Martz in Milton up to 1830 and then his widow Susan and also John were listed there in 1840. John clearly was the son of Abraham and is designated P1c1.

Discrepancies notes for John S (Spouse 1)
His baptism record says born 11 Dec 1811 but his age and date of death as reported on find-a-grave indicates 15 Dec 1810 — it is close enough for me to believe it is the same guy, the question is which birth date is correct.
Since I believe he had a brother Daniel born in 1811, I think perhaps the 1810 date is the better.
