Notes for Joseph Frantz
Marriage of Joseph Frantz to Nancy Harnish recorded on page 94, Book B, Montgomery County, Ohio, Probate Court marriage records.

Marriage of Joseph Frantz to "Catharine Nehr" listed on page 14, Vol. 2, of Early Marriage Bonds of Ohio. Original record in Clark County Probate Court marriages Book 3, page 61.

Dore Manfred Frantz's records, taken from tombstones, has the birth and death dates 20 Oct 1813-4 Mar 1854. The birth and death dates for his two wives are also from this Dore Frantz book, page 13. My first entry of Joseph, probably from the Clark County Early Families book, had him born 30 Nov 1813, died 28 Mar 1854.

Annals of the Donnels Creek District, p. 9, says that Joseph moved to Defiance Co., OH, in the late 1830's, and moved back to Clark Co. in 1847.
