probated in 1789 mentions the oldest son, Jacob, and two
other sons, George, (who received the large family Bible),
and Henry, and two daughters, Susanna, married Burnt
Kromer, and Magdalina.  Miss Willie Augusta Lantz, Of
Catawba College, N. Car., has an old prayer book on the
fly leaf of which is written in German:

     This prayer book was probably a farewell present to
Jacob Lantz when he started upon his trip to the new world.
He had children: Jacob; George; Henry; Susanna, married
Burnt Kromer; and Magdalina.
