Amy; According to the Grabatz family book Jakob Horvath apparently was born 2 Aug 1812, son of Johann Horvath and Kath Neurohr. They had 12 kids in Grabatz(no Lorenz), of which 3 died shortly after birth. Of the remaining 9 kids there is only further data on one who apparently moved to Georgshausen. So one must conclude that the remaining 8 kids settled somewhere other than Grabatz------probably somewhere in the Southern Banat where daughter villages were opening up at this time. Four of these 8 kids were sons so the surname would have survived to this extent. Lorenz was born ca 1836 so he could have been the son of Jakob by his first marriage to Elisabeth Tanbrier. From your attachment note that there is a Lorenz Horvath and a Josef Horvath who are witnesses at the second marriage to Anna Beer. Jakob Horvath(*2 Aug 1812 Grabatz) had a brother, Josef, *13 May 1823 Grabatz who moved to Georgshausen. Could the son(Lorenz) have served as a witness to his fathers second marriage? We are building a big sand castle here but until proven otherwise we don't have much else to go on.

I am not sure if this is a repeat for me in regard to these Horvaths or not. I have a Josef Horvath that most likely was born around 1845-1853 possibly in Batschka Petrovoszello. He was married to Anna Tüski and they had approx. 10 children mostly born in Petrovoszello although I can not find a record there for Imre whom my father said was the oldest child born around 1872, so I am thinking they were somewhere else before coming to Petrovoszello and of course I am wondering if it could be the village mentioned in this post below. Please let me know if there is possibly some connection - Horvath is such a common name in that area and I don't know how close these other villages are to Petrovoszello or anything about migration in that particular area.
