I agree with Linda Webb, your Martin looks like the son of George Helsel and Mary Eash.
I noticed the Younker marriage. Sarah Helsel was also from Paint Twp, Somerset Co, Pa - likely the sister of Linda's ancestor Martin Helsel, she married Adam Younker, also of Paint Twp. In the 1860 census, they're in Marshall Co, Indiana, and then later in Lucas Co, Iowa.
Here's what I have for them
