General Notes: Husband - Jacob Stantz

---

Chambersburg, VA

The first ancestor of this family of whom we have any knowledge was Jacob Stantz (or Stautz, as the name was originally spelled) who came from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, to Westmoreland County about 1806. It has not been ascertained whether he was the progenitor who emigrated from Germany or whether he was of American birth.
He was a blacksmith by trade and a first-class mechanic. On his arrival in Westmoreland County he settled on the “Kindig farm,” in Mount Pleasant township, and later moved to South Huntingdon township, near Menden, where he passed the remainder of his life. He owned a farm of one hundred and twenty acres which he cultivated in connection with his work as a blacksmith. He was a member of the Lutheran church and lived to be well advanced in years, his death occurring when he was upwards of eighty.
