Peter Martens (ABT 1769 - ABT 1829)

The proposed relationship of Peter Martens as the father of Peter Martens and Johann Martens is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between DJG (a descendant of the Johann Martens ancestral line) and ED (a descendant of the Peter Martens ancestral line) with a shared segment of 64.26 cM across 3 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
