Christian married Magdalena. Magdalena died in 1770 in Manor Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The estate records mention the names Magdalena Martin and Magdalena Snider interchangeably. She may have married neighbor Peter Snider in her old age. I doubt this record suggests her maiden name was "Schneider", as published in some books and articles.

Notes:

Andreas Martin was a member of the persecuted religious sect
sometimes referred to as Swiss Brethren, later known in America as
Mennonites. Due to severe persecution in Switzerland, he moved with his
family to the Palatinate, which is now a part of Germany. Here Andreas
was imprisoned many years for his faith. He advised his wife and sons to
go to America and settle in Pennsylvania, and told them he would join
them there if he were ever released from prison.
Andreas was finally released from prison and came to the American
colonies October 7, 1749. He was cared for by his sons until his death in
1759. There is no further record of his wife. ("The John Jacob Martin
Family", 1978, Daniel R. Lehman)
