SHANTZ

Much of the early information on the Shantz family has been taken from a book called, "The Shantz Family", published by the Shantz Family Association, Kitchener, Canada. It may be faster to contact me for a quick search of my database for the Shantz you are looking for. This family now contains some 2000 individuals and many more need to be entered into my database. I just need to find more "free" time in my day.

Crest of Shantz

Die Schantz (The Bulward) a Bourgeois Clan organized in Alsace in the year 1429 with Johann Schantz who held a baker's franchise. The Clan in future years spread into Bavaria and the French provinces. The Crest of this Clan carries a helmet with three ostrich plums (one black, one green, and one red.) The Mantle is black, silver, red and golden. The Shield has a red field, and within it, the silver done on a green hill represents the wisdom, precaution and sagacity of Johann Schantz. Authentic records by Paul Furst, 1496, from his Records of Heraldry.

FIRST GENERATION

1. Jacob SHANTZ

Jacob SHANTZ was born 1710 in Switzerland, the son of Ulrich and Anna Maria Tschantz. He died in Feb 1781 in Pottstown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA. Some information was discovered in 1924 by Dr. Homer LeRoy Shantz while he was attending a botanical congress in the city of Berne, Switzerland. Dr. Shantz visited the Staats House, where he found, among the old emigration records, the following interesting information: "Staatsarchive, Berne---Rodel Weggenogener Manrechten Tschanz, Jacob, aus dem amt thun des Manrecht Wegzuzuchen Berwilliget dem 9, Frebruarius, 1737" Literally translated: Jacob Tschanz asked of the authorities in Berne, permission to emigrate, which was granted. Jacob came to America on the boat named "Townshead", arriving at Philadelphia Oct. 5,1737. Bought land in Hanover twp., Phila. Co., Pa., before 1743 and additional land in 1762 and 1765. Now in the Boro. of Pottstown. Died Feb., 1781. According to the court records, Jacob Shantz was survived by his widow, three sons and six daughters. In the Sprogell cemetery in Pottstown, Pennsylvania is his tombstone on which is inscribed: "Hier Liegt Der Leib Von Jacob Shantz Gestarbim Februarius 1781".

6. Esther SHANTZ

Esther Shantz was born about 1743. She died on 13 Mar 1821. She was married to Abraham BERGE on 6 Jun 1766. In "The Shantz Family" book it states that Esther Shantz married Abraham Berge on June 6, 1786. The problem with this date is that according to the IGI Ancestral File the birth dates for their children are before the marriage. Also with this marriage date Esther would of started having her children at 43. So I have taken 20 years off the marriage date as a guess. The birth dates of the children require further research.
