Martense, Jan

The descendant of Gerrit Martense who broke with tradition and went out into the world.  He joined the colonial army in 1754 and retuned to Tempest Mountain in 1760.  The intense hatred which arose between Jan and his family ended in his death in 1762 by blows to the head, crushng his skull, though the family claimed him to have been killed by lightning.
