Shantz-Pannebecker, Waterloo ONT 1800's
David Shantz and Elizabeth Pannebecker were a childless Mennonite couple of the Waterloo, ON area who "adopted" children in need. Perhaps as many as seven.
In 1815 "Polly" Banghart Devitt abandoned her husband, Dennis Sr and five of their children in the Waterloo area of Ontario. Because the father was unable to provide for them they were taken in by neighbors. Young Dennis Devitt was raised by the David Shantz family but retained his Devitt name. Does anyone recall hearing of these people?
