His will was probated in March 1787 Dover township. He named wife Catherine, and children Johannes , Andreas, Jacob, Barbara,and Maria Catherine . Executors were Catherine and John Hantz. Johannes was bap at Strayers Church 11 Nov 1763 sponsors were Johannes Spaar and Catherine Eliz Straherin . Maria Catherine was bap at Strayers on 30 Mar 1766 sponsored by Nicolaus and Maria Catherine Diel. Maria Catherine (Hantz) Diel was the daughter of Nicolaus and Anna Barbara Hantz but I can find nothing futher about their relationship. In the records of First Church, York is the marriage of Andrew Heintz to Elizabeth Rohtrauf on 18 Feb 1783 and the bap of their son Johannes born 3 Sep 1784 and bap 10 Jan 1785. Don't know if these are the same or different families.
