Hi,
I have a lot of family in the Phila. area. My father, married to Emma Rustine, lived in Phila. and 2 oldest brothers born there. An uncle Fred Martz, married to Eliz. Manzada lived there and an Aunt Edith Martz Clark lived in Upper Darby. The John,Henry and George Martz's came into Phila. and most were sent to the Stroudsburg, PA mountain area. I have tried to trace my Wm. back and I think he came from the Henry line but have no documentation to prove it. If any of these names sounds familiar, please let me know.
Kay

Hi Kay,
I'm sorry that I don't have any real info for you. The only Marks/Martz I have is Ida Emily Marks 1847-1896 who married Alexander Clark in 1865. Their daughter, Mabel Mary, is my connection to the Marks/Martz family. She married Arthur Hallowell & they are the connection to my brother-in-law's family. They were from the Philadelphia & Lansdale, Montgomery county area.
