Hi. My name is Patrick Beltz and am living down south just outside of New Orleans. I am researching the BELTZ family name. My g-g-grandfather, Adam BELTZ, moved to Armstrong Co. about 1836 from Allegheny Co. Where he came from before is not known other than his being born in PA. The 1880 census stated his birthplace as PA. Also it stated his father was from Germany and his mother was from PA. He married a Susanna Wagner of PA. They are buried in Barrecca Cemetery in Plumville, Indiana Co. PA. The family lived in Plumcreek Twp and Cowashannock Twp. They moved to Plumville in the late 1870's. They had the following children: 1. Elizabeth BELTZ - b. abt. 1830 2. Mary Ann BELTZ - b. abt. 1832 3. Daniel BELTZ - b. 9 Mar 1834 in Pittsburgh d. 13 Feb 1912 in Scioto Co, OH - Daniel married first a Caroline OILER. They divorced and he married Mary HARKLEROAD, daughter of George Adam HARKLEROAD and Susan MARTIN. 4. Rachel BELTZ - b. 10 Aug 1836 d. 24 Oct 1920. She is buried in the Methodist Church cemetery in Whitesburg, PA. She was married to John Cook CRAFT. 5. Sarah BELTZ - b. 10 Aug 1836. She is a twin to Rachel. 6. Margaret Jane BELTZ - b. 17 Jan 1839 d. 14 Dec 1908 in Adams Co, OH. She was married to Isaac L. REARICK in 1861. 7. Andrew Jackson BELTZ - b. 1 Apr 1841 in Whitesburgh, PA d. 18 Nov 1915 in Plumville, PA. He was married to a Charlotte CESSNA. 8. Rebecca BELTZ - b. abt. 1843 9. Malinda BELTZ - b. 1846 d. 1873 10. Susanna BELTZ - b. abt. 1850 I am trying to find info on the birthplace and the parents names of Adam. Also, any info on the daughters that I don't have any info on. I would appreciate any info about who they married. I would be glad to share what info I have. Thanks, Patrick Beltz P.O.
