Notes:

There is much documentation regarding the Clontz' immigration to the "New World". Carl Clontz, of Mt.Vernon, KY, has written an excellent monograph regarding this this family;

"The history of the Clontz family in the United States likely begins with the arrival of Hieronymus Glantz on the ship, Adventure, which arrived in Philadelphia, in September, 1732. It had come from Rotterdam via the port of Cowes in Britain. The captain, in his passenger list, showed the following family, whose names and ages were given as:

Jerimy Glance 29
Marrea Medl. Glance 30
Anna Margreate Glance 9
Hance Micalle Glance 4

The adult male immigrants were required to sign two instruments attesting their allegiance - one to the Crown of England and one to the proprietor of the province. These lists were signed on September 23, 1732, and both (taken before different clerks) contain the signature: Hieronymus Glance.

Although he could sign his name (and was clearly literate in German), he apparently never learned English for he later made his mark on documents [which were] in English.

From Philadelphia the family appears to have migrated to south-central Virginia in what is now Mecklenburg County. The area was originally included in Brunswick County but became Lunenburg County in 1746, and in 1765, became Mecklenburg County, whose county seat is Boydton. Jeremiah, as he was then known, was shown on a tithe list,in 1748, as Jermiah Glaush. In 1749 and 1750, he was listed as Jeremiah Clanch; in 1751, as Jermiah Clansh and in 1752, as Jeremiah Claunch.

On October 2, 1750, he purchased a 200 acre tract of land from Drury Smith. In 1752, a tithe list included Jeremiah Claunch and also John Claunch, as a separate householder. Hance (or probably Hans) had anglicized his name adopting the English version - John. The tithe listings are consisent with ages shown by the ship captain.

In 1748, John Michael would been 19 or 20, depending on his birth date, and probably would not have been obligated for tithes. In 1752, he would have around 24 and would have been obligated. No other trace of him has been found in southern Virginia.

Jeremiah was issued a patent for an additional 200 acres in August, 1756. No other land acquisitions by him have been located; however, in June, 1758, he and his wife (Margaret) conveyed 555 acres to a Thomas Moore. Whether they stayed in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, or migrated further south cannot be determinded from the records that have been found, but a Jeremiah Claunch can be found there in the record until 1800, on tax lists or in signing various marriage bonds and marriage consents for his children. It is likely that a son, Jeremiah, and perhaps other children left progeny there. There is a gap between the 1758 deed and the 1782 census and tax record showing Jeremiah Claunch with six white family members. In 1793, William married. Matthew Claunch married in 1799, with Jeremiah as surety on his bond. Dennis Claunch married in 1803, and Jinny and Sally in 1804.

John Michael and a brother named Jacob migrated to southern North Carolina. In December,1768,John Michael Claunch patented 200 acres in Mecklenburgh (sic)
County, North Carolina, and in May, 1772, Jacob Clance patented 226 acres there.

Two brothers, Jeremiah Clontz and George Clontz were in born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina,in the years 1756 and 1759, respectively. The place of birth is now in Cabarrus County. Both of these men enlisted and served in the Revolutionary War and received pensions. George's nine-month enlistment was up, August 5, 1779, and he was sick and his father came and took him back to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. They are listed as heads of household in North Carolina in the 1790 census. George was in Cabarrus County and Jeremiah was in Mecklenburg.

John Michael Clontz and Wife, Margaret, sold their patented land to a Christian Goodman, in 1784, and no further trace can be found of them in North Carolina but a Michael Clontz is shown in South Carolina a little south and east of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in the 1790 census. No further trace of John Michael can be found [ed.note: John would have been 62 years of age during that census]. Jacob Clance cannot be traced and there is no record of his conveying away the patented land [ed.note: in 1788, Lincoln County, NC, "Jacob Glance" was noted on a "Confiscation List" and believed to have been a royalist].

Since Jeremiah and George Clontz (this is the spelling in the Revolutionary War Records) were both born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and since John Michael Clontz was still there in 1784, it is likely that they are his sons [John Michael] and that he was the same John Miachel Glantz who arrived in Philadephia, in 1732, as a 4-year old boy.

Jeremiah Clontz remained in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina and reared six children. Their names were Henry, Jeremiah, Jacob, Sarah, John Adam and
Catherine. There are numerous descendants still in Charlotte and Mecklenburg Counties, North Carolina.

In 1796, George Clonts purchased 100 acres of land in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, from his father-in-law, Jacob Cline (George married Chloe Cline, in August, 1783). The deed was dated 1796.

In 1801, Christian Claunce was granted 90 acres in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.

George sold his land to a John Clons on September 14, 1801, and Christian (Clance) sold his, July 27, 1802 and they and their immediate families both migrated west to Burke County. George moved in 1802 and both appear in Burke County in the 1810 census. In addition, Jacob Clontz who was 20-26 and John Clontz, who was over 45 were listed in Burke County in 1810. Christian was under 45 years of age and his oldest child was less than 16 years of age.

It is likley that George, who was 51, Christian and John were brothers. Jacob was probably the son of George or John. In 1810, John only had daughters at home. Jacob was listed with two sons under 10 in 1810, but did not have any sons at home in 1820.

By 1820, the only heads of household listed in Burke County were George Clonce, George, Jr., Christian, William and Jacob. Both Christian and George had sons named Michael - one born in 1797 and one born in 1803. The latter was George's son and he married Ann Stokes in Burke County, North Carolina, on April 12, 1828.

Carl,

In the book "Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriages in Southeastern Pennsylvania: The Records of Rev. John Casper Steover from 1730 to 1779", the marriage of Hironymus Glantz and Erna Barbara Mack is listed as Oct. 15, 1733 in Philidelphia.

The religion and place is news to me. There wasn't any Glantz baptisms mention in the book. However, it would be intersting to search the records of the baptisms and marriages in the Lutheran Churches in the Philidelphia area conducted by others than Rev. Stoever.

In Reply to: Hieronymus Glantz/Germany by Skip Allen of 62


I don't know what the origin of the name Glantz is but I can tell you that the Isenburg (Budingen Germany) Glantz family (1500-1750's) was of the Reformed faith. The name was spelled both Glantz and Glanz depending on the German scribe of the time of the record. There are some Glantz's that were of the jewish faith, however the name Glantz was borrowed due to the fact that Hebrew people did not have surnames untill the 1800's. The word Glantz means shiney or to glisten. The Glantz family of Isenburg were orginally keeper of charcoal or better known a kohlers.

Hope this helps you out.

After reading the messages on this forum I formed these opinions about The Clonch line of Grayson/Carroll Co., VA.

1. This Clonch line was German or Dutch and never was in Ireland (based on passenger list of the Adventure - all Palatines, religious affiliation of the Clontz family - Lutheran, and family legends of the Mecklenburg NC branch)

2. Jeremiah Clonch found in Lunenburg Co., VA is the same man as Hieronymous Glantz who landed in Philadelphia and married Erna Barbara Mack (based on Macks living with him in Lunenburg and the Mack on the Adventure and the married to E.B. Mack)

3. If there is any evidence of a Sophia married to a Jeremiah Clonch in the Virginia records I have never seen it. A land transaction in 1758 with Thomas Moore in Lunenburg names Jeremiah Clonch with a wife Margaret. Can someone spell out exactly what the source of connecting Sophia Erwin to Jeremiah in Virginia is and what primary records they are based on?

4. Is the Jeremiah with wife Margaret the same man who married Erna Barbara Mack or is he a son of this man?

5. Is the Jeremiah with wife Margaret the same man who later appears in the part of the Montgomery Co., VA that becomes Grayson then Carroll Co., VA and is marked unfit in 1781-2 on the Flower Swift militia roster? I have not seen two Jeremiahs (Sr. and Jr.) in the records until 1778 - indicating a son Jeremiah was born by the mid 1750s - probably the one who married Jane McGuire.

Without further evidence there are two equally likely possibilities

1. Hieronymous Glantz = Jeremiah Clonch of Lunenburg up until about 1755. After 1755 Jeremiah Clonch (m. Margaret) in the records is his son (Jeremiah Sr. dies at about age 50). The Jeremiah Jr. found in Henry Co. in 1778 (m. Jane McGuire) is a grandson.

2. Hieronymous Glantz goes to Lunenburg Co., VA (later Pittsylvania when this county is formed in 1767) and has a son Jeremiah who later appears in Henry and Montgomery Co., VA (Presumably the one who married Jane McGuire).

There is no son Jeremiah on the Adventure in 1732. Thus if Jeremiah is born no earlier than 1733 he cannot be the man buying land in 1744 (comes of age 1753 earliest). Furthermore, this land is shown to be in the same man's hand until it is sold in 1758. At this point we have a Jeremiah married to Margaret (listed in the land transaction). There is no mention of any two Jeremiahs at the same time until 1778.

Here are the primary sources as presented by various authors on Worldconnect (particularly from Catherine Meder-Dempsey whose source was M. L. "Matt" Claunch/ Ralph L. Hayes)( http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=meder-dempsey&id=I303 ):

REPLY from Mike

Here is one way out of this dilemna. Hieronymous Glantz, born about 1703 in the Palatinate, with wife Maria Margarette (Magdalene), has eldest child Jeremiah in the Netherlands, assumming that the birth dates of 1703 for Hieronymous and 1715 for Jeremiah are only approximate. Anna Margaret is b. 1723, John Michael (or Hans) is b. later. They eventually go to Ireland and remain there until about 1732, at which time Hieronymous and wife and the two younger children take the Adventure to Philadelphia.

The eldest child, Jeremiah, who might be fifteen, say, is left behind (with others?). He marries an Irish girl Sophie about 1740, and perhaps around 1750 he and Sophie go to America, to Virginia, where in the meantime father, mother and sibs have made their home. This Jeremiah CLONTZ has Jeremiah CLONCH, b. 1752, VA., as well as John, Barnett, Edmund, and Jacob. From 1748 to 1764 we have an almost continuous record of Hieronymous. In 1750 in Lunenburg he has two tithes as CLANCH and CLANSH. In 1751 in Lunenburg he is surety for Mary Smith. In 1752 in Halifax (Lunenburg), VA he has two tithes. In 1752, Hans Michael (John CLAUNCH) has one tithe in Lunenburg. Hans Michael marries Margaret and they have George CLONTZ, who marries Cloe CLINE, and Jeremiah (b. 1756), who marries Anna Catherine LONG. Jeremiah and Anna Catherine have Jeremiah who marries Sarah Catherine Rhine. George and brother Jeremiah (b. 1756) go to NC and in the Rev. War are patriots. George is wounded. Father Hieronymous is a Loyalist. Jeremiah (b. 1752) and perhaps also Hieronymous settle in Montgomery Co., VA. In 1774, Jeremiah advertises a stray horse there, and in 1775 he receives a land grant of 80 acres, both sides of Chestnut Creek. In 1777 he swears allegiance to the Commonwealth of VA and refuses allegiance to George III. In 1781 he is listed as "not fit for military duty." Brothers John, Barnett, Edmund, and Jacob are on the muster lists for 1781. Barnett is listed as missing from the list for 1782. Jeremiah (b. 1752) is in Mecklenburg in 1782 with six whites in his household. He marries Jane (McGuire?) and they have Jeremiah CLONCH who marries Elizabeth Kelly.

Finally, we might want to consider the following. We have a George CLAUNCH/CLONTZ b. Germany 1770. Some of his descendants ended up in KY. (according to LDS fiche). We have a Jacobi and Annae Mariae CLONTZ whose six children, Anna Maria, Catherina, Bernardus, Mathias, Petrus, Susanna, and Valentinus were baptized Catholic in Karlsruhe in the Rhineland between 1780 and 1786. We have a Dominick CLANCHI, b. abt 1655 in La Chambre who married Margueritte Hennequin. His father was Didier CLANCHI, mother Jakoba SIMONIS. Dominick was baptized in St. Avold, Moselle, France and resided in Bisten, Saarland, Germany. Dominick is clearly a CLANCY. HENNEQUIN is an Irish name, and both DIDIER and SIMONIS are Huguenot names of Ireland. The name CLANCHE is located primarily in the Moselle/Saarland/Palatinate region. GLANCE and CLANCE are forms of CLANCY, which was usually pronounced CLANCHY. Hieronymous is accurately translated not Jeremiah but Jerome, which suggests that Hieronymous was baptized Catholic. And finally, of the two ships lists for the Adventure of 1732, one has him as Hieronymous GLANTZ, the other as Jeremy GLANCE.

Why the difference? Also, if the Adventure was from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, where did Hieronymous take ship, assuming that he resided in Ireland for awhile?
