This item from the Lehigh County History is wrong, however, since it is in conflict with data from Mertz Church records of the period. I don't think you will find any contemporary records supporting the birth of GEORGE HENRY MERTZ to PETER MERTZ and a MISS SHERIDAN. Here's the faulty paragraph: lehigh co. history mertz family peter mertz emigrated from alsace, germany, in 1730, and was married to a miss sherdian, who had relatives living in berks co. their son george henry mertz was born sept. 1. 1755, he died july 23, 1827, he married eva good, they had a son. gen. henry mertz. he was born july 21, 1782. Geri, According to records of Mertz Church in Rockland Township, Berks County,PA, GEORG HEINRICH MERTZ was born 5 Sep 1755, baptized 12 September, 1755 with sponsors Georg Merkle and Christina, wife. He was the son of JOHANN HEINRICH MERTZ and wf ANNA MARIA ROSSMAN. The rest is correct: Georg Heinrich (George Henry) married Eva Good, whose son, (General) Henry Mertz was born 22 June 1782 in Lehigh County. My cousins and I are grateful for all that you have turned up for us and the 5,650 Americans with the last name Mertz. Patty Mertz in Nashville ************** Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.
