Ds. Jan (Tommie) Thomas Martens 
Jan, known as Tommie, was born on April 15th, 1894 and his baptism took place on September 2nd, 1894. Tommie's father was Jacobus Cornelis Martens and his mother was Hendrina Christina Nel. His paternal grandparents were Jan Thomas “Tommie” Martens and Anna (Sibella) Catharina Elisabeth Pretorius; his maternal grandparents were Philip Rudolf Nel and Hendrina Christina Tredoux. He had a brother named Flip. He was the older of the two children. He had a half-sister named Christina. He died at the age of 66 on May 25th, 1960.General Notes
When his father died in 1930 he was a minister in Port Elizabeth.
He and his brother Philip Rudolf Nel Martens apparently owed the farm Silverstreams in the far past; and it was sold. I believe the Aquelle springwater is now bottled at Silverstreams.(Eleanor Gous)
NG Gemeente Waterval, in die weste van Johannesburg teenaan die grens van Roodepoort met sy kerkgebou in die voorstad Newlands
Soos Ons gemeentelike feesalbum dit in 1952 stel: "Die akker wat so lank braak gelê het, het groot eise aan die eerste arbeiders gestel." Martens het net 'n trapfiets gehad waarmee hy die geestelike werk in die uitgestrekte gemeente kon doen en tog het hy volhard en sowat £1 000 vir 'n kerkboufonds ingesamel.
