GREG LANTZ 5/10/03
Greg, on pages 56 & 57 in LANTZ GENEALOGY published in 1931 by Jacob W. Lantz, it states that Baltzer Lantz was born in Wettenberg, Germany and settled in Lancaster, PA after arriving in 1752.He was a mason by trade and married Susanna Shaffer who gave birth to Elizabeth and Peter who both married and had several children. Peter married Annie Meshie and one of their 4 children was also named Peter.He married Catherine Skelley and had one child, John.John's many descendents are listed on pages 250 to 254 of the same book. Also Baltzer's will was probated in 1812 and should be easy to find in the Lancaster County Courthouse.
