Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1364 Surname: Lorentz ------------------------- Jacob Lorentz born 1789 in PA married Rebecca Stalnaker 1803 in Randolph Co. Rebecca was daughter of Catherine Parsons and Valentine Stalnaker. Catherine Parsons -- no info known. She was born 1783 and since I can find no info on her she probably came from Hampshire Co -- anyway this Lorentz family moved to LEWIS CO VA and remained there. Jacob was a JP in Lewis in 1819. Kathy
