This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Printz, Prince, Brentz, Henry, Crum Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gAC.2ACE/2626.2.2.2.1 Message Board Post: We know from official records that Elizabeth was the given name of the first wife of Captain George Printz (1742-1834). His surname was originally Brentz, then changed to Prince before becoming Printz. Family tradition and/or secondary references suggest her surname was either Henry or Crum. Does anyone have any information that would further identify Elizabeth? George Printz's second wife was Mary Magdalene Shaffer (1760-1823). They were married in Shenandoah County, Va., Aug. 5, 1787, with Rev. Paul Henkle officiating. A recent book on the Printz Family is "Into the Valley, a History of the Printz/Prince Family of the Shenandoah" by Charles Francis Printz, Sr., and Hugh Ellison Voress.
