He arrived in Pennsylvania on 30 Sep 1727 on the ship "Molly" with five persons in his family and a large group of Mennonites. He was the first elder of the Conestoga Brethren Church in Lancaster County.
5. Hans Frantz, b. c1692. He probably arrived in Pennsylvania in 1717. He was taxed at Conestoga Township, Chester County (now Lancaster County) from 1718 to 1720. He is not found in tax records after 1720 and was not naturalized with the other Mennonites in 1728 or 1729. He may have died shortly after 1720, moved away or returned to Germany.
6. [?] Baltzer Frantz, b. c1695. He was married to Anna Barbara. He died in 1747 in Lancaster County. He arrived on the ship Adventure on 2 Oct 1727. He warranted 245 acres on 22 Jan 1733 in Cocalico Township, Lancaster County. His children were listed in the distribution of his estate. He did not arrive with a group a Mennonites which may indicate that he was never a Mennonite. He was a Lutheran before he was baptized by Michael Frantz in Feb 1739 at Conestoga into the Church of the Brethren. It is not clear if he was a relative of the Mennonite Frantz families.
