Teri,

I will get back to you later about my Frantz research, but first I need to
fix something that I had in my earlier message about Samuel and Sarah
[Arnett] Frantz. They were married 25 June 1826 by John Rorer (or Roher),
Justice of the Peace (Montgomery, OH, Marriage Book A-1-164). The 5 July
1818 marriage that was in my message was actually that of Frederick and Anne
[Frantz] Beachler (Montgomery Marriage Book A-1-73). While I'm at it, I can
give you the other marriages of Jacob's children. John and Barbara [Arnett]
Frantz were married 11 December 1817 by George W. Miller, Justice of the
Peace (Montgomery Marriage Book A-1-68). Finally, Michael and Mary [Frantz]
Snider were married 6 February 1812 by Jacob Miller, Minister of the Gospel
(Montgomery Marriage Book A-1-31). All four of these Frantz marriages were
of the children of Jacob Frantz (son of Michael II). I do not know who the
mother(s) of these children were.

Dwayne
