'Peter Martens (b. 1769) Neuendorf 1802, 1803, 1806, 1808
Likely a son of Gerhard Martens, Halbstadt 1776: 3 sons, Heubuden Gem..
m1) 21.10.1792 Katherina v. Bergen (d. 5. 1801)
m2) [as her first husband] 6.1801 Maria Dyck (b. 1783)
[who married second] Johann Wiens (b. 1786) Österwick 1814 ...
Note: Peter Martens likely had a brother Johann Martens (b. 11.11.1776) who immigrated to Russia in 1796-98 (Neuenburg 1802). Katherina Bergen could have been a daughter of Jacob Bergen later of Chortitza. Maria Dyck was likely the daughter of Peter Dyck (see Niederchortitza No. 45).'
See notes from GRANDMA on Schapansky's speculation that Peter was the son of Gerhard Martens. Note also that Peter's first 4 sons were named (in order) Jacob, Peter, Heinrich and Gerhard, suggesting that it is more likely that Gerhard Martens of Halbstadt was Peter's uncle than his father.
GRANDMA also indicates that Maria Dyck, widow of Peter Martens, married Herman Bueckert in 1837 and that it was a different Maria Dyck (#208480) who married Johann Wiens. This is supported by Unruh's comment on page 356 that Maria Dyck (an immigrant before 1812) married Johann Wiens in Russia, suggesting that her name was Maria Dyck at the time of that marriage, and also the 1814 census (Unruh, p. 283), which shows Johann Wiens already married to a Maria.

Gerhard Martens
'Notes: In the 1772 W. Prussia Land Census he is listed in Schoensee. He may be the Gerhard Martens listed in Halbstadt in the 1776 W. Prussia Mennonite Census. Henry Schapansky has speculated that this man may be the father to Peter Martens (b. ca 1769) #486885 (Mennonite Migrations, p. 527). However, Peter Martens #486885 is not listed as a son of Gerhard Martens in the 1772 Census.'
