In a pension deposition given in 1930, he stated that he had six brothers and one sister. Joshua's mother was Catharine Harry, daughter of James Harry, most likely by his first marriage to Margaret Hammond. James Harry was born in approx. 1788-1790 in Franklin Co., PA, son of Titus Harry and Catharine Rowles. I believe that Margaret Hammond was born in Franklin, PA as well, daughter of Martin Hammond and Margaret Brindle. James Harry died 2-26-1860 in Plain Twp., Stark Co., OH, but I am unsure of Margaret Hammond's date of death. The family of Margaret Hammond's brother, Jacob Hammond, is enumerated two families away in the 1850 census. Joshua's father is named as George Lantz. I have been unable to find any record of his marriage to Catharine Harry or any census records of the family. Catharine Harry was married first to a Samuel Hill. They had a son, Samuel Franklin Hill, b.11-26-1833 in Stark Co., Ohio. Samuel Franklin Hill died 10-15-1927 in Nelson, Portage, Ohio. Catharine then apparently married George Lantz. I am aware of the following descendants: 1.George Lantz +Catharine Harry 2.Joshua Lantz b.3-9-1845 Stark Co., OH d.8-4-1933 Kansas City, MO +Mary E. Howser m.2-2-1869 Cass Co.

OH census, Plain Twp., living with his uncle James Morris Harry, son of James Harry and his second wife Susan Morrow. Both Joshua and his brother Solomon named James Morris Harry as their guardian in 1863, while their brother Daniel named his uncle George Nelson (husband of Catharine Harry's sister Barbary) as his guardian. Daniel remained a lifelong citizen of Stark Co., OH. Joshua moved after the war to Michigan, and then later to KS. I do not have any knowledge of what happened to Solomon. Of other brothers and a sister, I am unaware as well. The fate of the parents is unknown, and Joshua and Daniel were never clear on the birthplace of their father. Any information or leads on this family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Leon Lants - llants@webtv.net --WebTV-Mail-15061-3651--
