    3. Hi Marcia, I don't think so. Do you have a year for his birth? I see there was a Jacob Garman in Lebanon township in Lebanon county in 1759. And there is mention of a Rev. George Martz in Lebanon county too. Maddeningly, that is all that is said, no detail at all. I'm wondering if your Henry Franck's parents were a Franck or Fronck and a Martz. Franck when pronounce in German does or can come out as Fronck (of can be heard by an english-speaking ear), and I have seen both spellings in the earlier books. And a few books have spelled Martz "Martz" and then in brackets put (Marx) - I wonder if Martz evolved into Marx at some point? Sue

    3. I agree Martz may be a family name, I found allot of Martz's in Northumberland, but no connection yet to Henry Martz Fronk, born 1810. I found it interesting that John Hatfield was having his daughter, born 1788, baptized in 1801 by a Lutheran minister. (I think the family was Presbyterian) John had a son born 1808 named Cyrus Hatfield. My ancestor born 1827 was named Cyrus Hatfield Fronk, I think there has to be a connection of some kind for him to have that name. Both families (Fronk and Hatfield) were in the Halifax, Upper Paxton township area at that time. (1808-1830). Do you have any connection to the Peter Garman who went out to Cambria county and settled Garmantown in Susquehanna Township?
