Bentz Surname with South Dakota Connections

JoeThurstenson38 — 2009-08-19 14:43:36Z

I am interested in communicating with BENTZ researchers who are collecting data on this surname. They would be of German ancestry who immigrated to SD from Neudorf, S. Russia. They detrained in Yankton, SD and spread across South Dakota and probably other areas thereafter. I am trying to collect all I can on Johannes Bentz and Christina Maihoefer descendants.

George Bentz of Philadelphia, PA

tlucas166 — 2009-05-29 19:49:20Z

The George Bentz that I am looking for is a Son of Adam and Lavinia Bentz of Lebanon, PA. I know that George lived in Philadelphia and may have married a woman named Francis flint and had 2 daughers: Mabel and Marion. This is according to a couple of Census reports. I would like to find somone descended from this family line so that I can confirm this info and so that I can ask their help in identifying a photo that I believe may be Mabel or Marion. I also have 2 great photos of George that I am willing to share. I am actually a descendent of George's sister Elizabeth. If you think that you may be able to confirm this info, and/or identify the girl in this photo, please e-mail me at tlucas@in-touch.net. Thanks!

Samuel Bentz 1845-1886

ejbentz1 — 2009-04-22 02:42:40Z

Still seeking the parents of my 2nd great grandfather, Samuel R. Bentz. Samuel is buried in Penryn Union Cemetery, Penn Township, Lancaster County, PA, alongside two sons, John and Harvey and Peter and Catharine, who I believe to be his grandparents. His wife, Elizabeth, nee Blantz is buried a short distance away as well. I found him in the 1860 census at age 15, living with the Jacob Hartrouft family as a farm laborer. He has yet to turn up in the 1850 census.

RalphEDeLange — 2009-03-17 17:28:42Z

I do a lot of family searching and one of them is Bentz on my sister-in-laws side. Her grandfather, Jacob Heinrich or Heinrich Jacob born in Kassel, Glueckstal, Moldova, South Russia in 1861 and came to US from Odessa in 1884 to South Dakota. He had a number of brothers and sisters, many of whom also emigrated. My tree, which I recently updated, is at http://www.wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=ralph.... If we have common lineage, let me know and we can share. ralphdelange@hotmail.com

JoeThurstenson — 2008-12-28 14:14:25Z

Hi Tim - we obviously have common kinfolk but I have not been able to match to the names you provided. I do desire continued communication with you. I am attaching a couple files (haven't done this before so don't know if I'm doing it correctly) for your examination.

My grandmother, Magdalena Bentz, was born in Neudorf, S. Russia 20 May 1881. She came to SD with her family as a young child and ended up marrying Balthazar Gall who was born in Worms, S. Russia 28 Dec 1971. So I've been collecting what I can on these two colonies.

Re: German/Russian Bentz in the Dakotas

Tim2912 — 2008-12-28 02:44:54Z

I have a Bentz born in the Neudorf area around 1845 to 1855.
Her name was Elizabetha and she married Jakob Schaeffer. They were my gg grandparents. I would love to tie her in with your George Friedrich and Katharina Kirschenman but have no data.

German/Russian Bentz in the Dakotas

JoeThurstenson38 — 2008-11-25 14:39:38Z

I am interested in exploring family history with anyone else interested in the BENTZ surname with connections in Neudorf, S. Russia and then in the Dakotas of USA. My Grandmother's BENTZ family settled near Fairfax, Gregory County, South Dakota after a few years in the Menno, South Dakota area where they first lived in a small adobe across the creek from their KIRCHMAN kinfolk.

Charles Bentz, b. 1912 Maryland, but lived and died in Pittsburgh

Limequilla — 2008-10-31 05:23:10Z

Hi folks,

Does anybody have a Charles Bentz in their tree?
probably b. 11 Apr 1912 in Maryland
probably d. Jun 1979 Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania

His dad would have died when he was a baby, and it appears he was raised by his widowed mother (as of 1930, at least).

I am looking for his father's name -- he married someone in my tree.

Re: John George Bentz; wife Emma Bentz; New York City circa 1880's

JoeThurstenson38 — 2008-09-04 13:37:33Z

I don't have this Bentz in my data base and my immediate line detrained in South Dakota. However, if there is any indication this Bentz family originated in the Alsace region, then immigrated to Neudorf, S. Russia - there is a possibility of a connection. I have many Bentz folk with "George" as a given name. I know all the Bentz folk did not get to America - some ended up remaining and were prisoners in Siberia by the Russian Government during the 1900's.

Just found your message. I wonder if we have the same Nicholas Bentz. Mine is from Germany and I know of two sons he had, Henry and Lorenzo that were both born in Germany, 1812,1818. I know little else about him. They were here before 1842 is all I know.

Bentz family Fairfield OH

2006-07-30 01:22:25Z

My mother-in-law shared some new information with me regarding the Bentz family from Fairfield OH. Jacob Bentz, b. Oct 2, 1787, d. Nov 1, 1855, m. Margaret Hornbaker, b. Mar 4, 1804, d. Feb 18, 1895. Jacob and Margaret are the parents of Samuel Joseph Bentz, and his sister, Sarah Ann Bentz. Samuel Joseph Bentz married Sarah Amanda Miller, Sarah Ann Bentz married a Miller, and they had a son named Albert Perry Miller. Sarah Ann Bentz Miller and her son, Albert, left Shelby County, IL, to homestead in or near Dighton, KS. Jacob Bentz and his wife, Margaret Hornbaker Bentz, are buried in St. Paul's Lutheran cemetery, Berne Township, Fairfield Co., OH, along with the following Bentz's: Mary Bentz, b. Dec 18, 1814, d. Aug 18, 1848, daughter of J. & E Bentz, and Malinda Bentz, b. Jan 13, 1841, d. Jan 17, 1852, daughter of J. & Margaret Bentz.

Bentz family: MD to Lancaster, OH to Shelby County, IL

2006-07-22 15:20:58Z

I am searching for information about the Bentz family who lived in MD (possibly Washington County, MD), then migrated to Lancaster, OH (Fairfield County), then on to Shelby County, IL. Samuel J. Bentz (b. about 1833 in OH) married Sarah A. (maiden name unknown), and Samuel and Sarah Bentz had the following children: Mary A.R.(Rebecca was the R) Bentz, who married John C. Stoneburner, Franklin Perry Bentz who married Elizabeth Frances Miller, Ellen J. Bentz who married John Simon Kinnison, John C. Bentz who married Catherine Mochel, and Edwin C. Bentz who married Mary Sophie Aichele, all marrying in Shelby County, IL in the late 1880s/early 1890s. Franklin Perry Bentz and Elizabeth Frances Miller (daughter of Thomas J. Milller) had twin girls who died in infancy or at birth, named Captilla and C (can't remember right now her first name) and also had twin boys, Archie Bentz who married Agnes McAulay, and Arthur Leo Bentz whose second wife was Stella Opal Henderson. Archie and Arthur Bentz were born on Oct 16, 1893. I know that the parents of Samuel J. Bentz were born in MD, and the parents of Samuel J. Bentz's wife, Sarah A. were born father in Germany, mother in MD. Any other information anyone has on these families would be greatly appreciated. I am particularly interested in knowing who Samuel J. Bentz's parents were, and if Samuel J. Bentz had other siblings.

re: Franklin Perry Bentz

2006-07-22 02:59:24Z

I am seeking information about ancestors and descendants of Franklin Perry Bentz who married Elizabeth Frances Miller (may have been Frances Elizabeth Miller). Franklin and his wife had several children, two of which were female twins who did not survive long and were named Captilla and ? (the other girl's name escapes me right now), and also male twins, Arthur L. and Archie Bentz, both born on October 16, 1893, in IL. Arthur L. Bentz's second wife was Stella Opal Henderson whom he made his home with in Decatur, IL. Archie Bentz married Agnes McAulay. Any information about this Bentz line would be greatly appreciated.

My great-grandfather's mother was Fredericka Maria Bentz. I understand that both she and my GG Grandfather Ehrhart Hessenmiller were from Coblenz Germany. Ehrhart and Fredericka moved from Germany to York PA. Years later (circa 1903) Fredericka moved to Scranton PA with my great-grandfather (William E. Hessenmiller). I suspect she died around 1914. (This was the last year her name appeared on the Scranton/Lackawanna County census records. Any information on Fredericka (Rickie) Maria Bentz would be appreciated.

Hi Richard,
In your post you say you have a Bentz from Ohio.
you wrote "Jacob F. Bentz of Wayne Co., OH does indeed
have a son named John" Can you tell me more about these two? Thank you Cynthia

Nicholas Bentz was my GG grandfather through his son, Elias. I live near Fort Wayne. I believe Nicholas was buried in Pike Co., IN. Elias and family are buried in Jay Co. IN. Do you have any information about Nicholas, when he migrated here.
