Birth: 04 MAR 1751 in Manheim Twp., Lancaster Co., PA
Note:
- [Sources:]
LDS Ancestral File 321J-B8 - '4 Mar 1751 ... of Manheim
Twp., Lancaster, PA'.
Slaybaugh article - 'Mar 4 1761' [along with an
inconsistant 1771 marriage date].
Davis 95v1 - 'abt 1760'.
George Moyer - 'abt 1750, Mannheim'.

[jhl:] The Slabaugh article gives Henry Landis a firm birthdate
of 1761 and Richard Warren Davis gives Mary Erb a firm date of
1760. If these dates are correct, then the marriage date of
1771 must be wrong. That their one child with a known birthdate
was born in 1779 tends to support this view, which would
suggest a marriage date of about 1778. Conversely, if the
widely-accepted 1771 marriage date is correct, then the
birthdates of Henry and Maria must be about 1751, not 1761.
The 'Henry Grof' article estimates that their first child was
Elizabeth and that she was born in 1773, which fits the 1771
marriage date. I have adopted this second view. A 1751
birthdate for Henry much better fits his death date of 1791,
his marriage date of 1771, and the birthdates of his siblings
-- the last of which was born about 1744.

[Quote from the Slaybaugh article:]
''Henry and Veronica (Graf) Landis lived on the Hammer Creek
just west of the Cocalico Creek in Warwick Township about five
and one-half miles northeast of the land for which John Landis
received a patent. . . Most of this farm lies to the north of
the Hammer Creek and is bounded on the east by what is now
Erb's Bridge Road. . . Henry and Veronica's home, which no
longer stands, was on the south side of the Hammer Creek about
one hundred yards southwest of the covered bridge on Erb's
Bridge Road. This home, along with a portion of the farm north
of the Hammer Creek, was sold to Henry's son-in-law, John
Schrantz, evidently soon after the death of Veronica.
'Henry Landis [senior] evidently married Veronica Graf in
1728 or 1729, when he was twenty-eight or twenty-nine years
old. They lived on the Hammer Creek in Warwick Township on land
he warranted in 1733 and patented in 1741. They were married
approximately twenty-five years and had eleven children. All of
the children were daughters except one son, Henry, Jr., who may
have been their youngest child. After Veronica's death, Henry,
then about fifty-four years old, purchased the farm in Manheim
Township northeast of Roseville, and married Mary Shelly, the
widow of Jacob Shelly, by 1754. He died six years later in
November of 1760 at the age of sixty years.'

Henry Landis or John Landis?
Posted 20 jul 2012 by dllandis
Excerpt from —The Landis Family of Lancaster County“ by D. B. Landis, published in 1888

LINEAL DESCENDANTS OF —HILL“ JOHN

About a score of years prior to the Revolutionary War, a man named John Landis1 (whose descendants are known as the —Hill“ family) occupied a farm lying on the south side of a hill (on account of that hill the family was afterward so named), about a half mile south of a small village called —Fiddlers‘ Green“ (since named Neffsville, Manheim Township, Lancaster county. John married Mary Erb. They had four sons and one daughter: John E., Henry E. (married to Mary Wolf), David E. (married), Abraham E. (married to Mary Meyers), and Nancy E. Landis (married to a Lichty).

All of the above matches the data I have found on Henry Landis (b: 4 Mar 1751 in Manheim, Lancaster County, d: 4 Jan 1791 in Manheim, Lancaster County). The above Henry Landis married Maria Erb (this is backed up by Jacob Erb‘s will) and Henry Erb Landis married Maria Wolf. The Nancy E. Landis referred to above is also known as Nancy Anna Landis, and an Anna Landis is also mentioned by Jacob Erb in his will. Nancy Anna Landis married a John Light, (the anglicized version of Lichty). The question then is why is —Henry“ referred to by D. B. Landis as —John“? Perhaps he is a John Henry Landis, or perhaps Mr. D. B. Landis is mistaken, but all evidence points toward the —John“ referred to by D. B. Landis to be the same Henry Landis who married Mary Erb. I will continue to research.

Lineal Descendents of "Hill John" Landis

Excerpt from —The Landis Family of Lancaster County“ by D. B. Landis, published in 1888

LINEAL DESCENDANTS OF —HILL“ JOHN

About a score of years prior to the Revolutionary War, a man named John Landis (whose descendants are known as the —Hill“ family) occupied a farm lying on the south side of a hill (on account of that hill the family was afterward so named), about a half mile south of a small village called —Fiddlers‘ Green“ (since named Neffsville, Manheim Township, Lancaster county. John married Mary Erb. They had four sons and one daughter: John E., Henry E. (married to Mary Wolf), David E. (married), Abraham E. (married to Mary Meyers), and Nancy E. Landis (married to a Lichty).

The initial —E“ in each of the above names is for Erb, hence, John Erb Landis, Henry Erb Landis, etc. All of the above matches the data I have found on Henry Landis (b: 4 Mar 1751 in Manheim, Lancaster County, d: 4 Jan 1791 in Manheim, Lancaster County). The above Henry Landis married Maria Erb (Mary Erb.) This is backed up by Jacob Erb‘s will, and Henry Erb Landis married Anna Maria Wolf (Mary Wolf). The Nancy E. Landis (Nancy Erb Landis) referred to above is also known as Nancy Anna Landis, and an Anna Landis is also mentioned by Jacob Erb in his will. Nancy Anna Landis married a John Light, the anglicized version of the German name Lichty. The question then is why is —Henry“ referred to by D. B. Landis as —John“? Perhaps he is a John Henry Landis, or perhaps Mr. D. B. Landis is mistaken, but all evidence points toward the —John“ referred to by D. B. Landis to be the same Henry Landis who married Mary Erb. None the less, I am confident that —Hill John“ Landis is the brother of Henry Erb Landis. I will continue to research.

Ancestors and Descendants of "Hill" John Landis
Posted 01 Oct 2013 by dllandis
Extracted from Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage Magazine, Vol 24, 2001

Emmert F. Bittinger taught Sociology at Bridgewater College, Bridgewater, Virginia, for 25 years until he retired in 1988. He holds the B.A. degree from Bridgewater College, the M.A. and Ph.D degrees from University of Maryland, and the M.Th. degree from Bethany Theological Seminary. Hehas written a number of articles and books on Brethren history, including Allegheny Passage: Churches and Families of the West Marva District (1990) and Heritage and Promise: Perspectives on the Church of the Brethren (1983). He has done extensive research and writing on many Brethren and Mennonite families during the Colonial Period. An ordained minister in the Church of the Brethren, he is also a member of the Forum for Religious Studies at Bridgewater College, a group which sponsors national conferences on Brethren and Anabaptist topics.

In 1888 D. B. Landis, the well-known genealogist,wrote The Landis Family of Lancaster County. Although it remains an essential source, additional research has rendered it a partial account. It contains an early and extensive listing of the family of "Hill" John Landis (1779-1858), who lived southeast of "Fiddlers' Green," now Neffsville, Manheim Township. Because the farm (recently occupied by the Roy Erb family at the end of Kreider Avenue) is

south of a small hill, the name "Hill" John Landis came into local usage. Unfortunately D. B. Landis mistakenly named the father of "Hill" John Landis as John, but he gave no dates of birth or death. However, I intend to show in this article that his father was Henry Landis (1751-1791). D. B. Landis

was also unable to trace "Hill" John Landis to the immigrant ancestor, something we now are able to do.D.B. Landis did give the name Mary Erb as the wife of this supposed John Landis, and also named four of the siblings of "Hill" John Landis,three sons and one daughter. Subsequent research shows that these sons were named accurately, but two daughters were missing from this list. Nancy also was known by the name Anna, a common occurrence in that time period. Crucial civil records (discussed below) which D.B. Landis apparently did not recognize provide this important information, including

names of the three daughters of Henry Landis (1751- 1791).

In 1983 and 1984 two articles appeared which identified a Henry Landis and wife Mary Erb and named their children. Having been involved in researching the "Hill" John Landis family, the writer immediately recognized that the names of the children of Henry Landis and Mary Erb matched almost perfectly with the names of the children of the couple that D.B. Landis designated as John Landis and Mary Erb. The two articles state that Henry Landis (Mar. 4, 1751-Jan. 4, 1791) and Mary Erb were married on March 16,1771. She was the daughter of Jacob Erb and Magdalena Schrantz. (After the death of Henry

Landis, she married Christian Haas or Hess.). He was the son of Henry Landis, minister at Hammer Creek Mennonite Church, born about 1700 in Switzerland, and Veronica Groff, daughter of Hans Groff of Groffdale. Henry and Veronica lived in Warwick Township, on the Hammer Creek just west of the Cocalico Creek, and later moved to Manheim Township.

Two Lists

Concerning the children of Mary Erb and her husband, the writer compared the Best/Slabaugh list with the Landis list. The Best/Slabaugh list of seven children (father Henry) was Elizabeth (m. George Sherttel), Mary (m. Henry Kalbach), Henry, John, Anna, David, and Abraham. The D.B. Landis list of five children (father John) was John, Henry (m. Mary Wolf), David, Abraham (m: Mary Meyers), and Nancy (m. Mr. Lichty). The reader will note their similarity. The sons are identical, but D.B. Landis omits two daughters and gives the nickname Nancy in place of Anna. Are these, in fact, the same

family? How could this be proved or disproved? We began to examine primary sources and study research and publications on these families. First, we

searched for two persons named Mary Erb for that time period with husbands Henry and John. After consulting Erb genealogies and genealogists, we found only one Mary Erb-married to Henry Landis-and no Mary Erb married to a John Landis. Second, we examined the birth dates of the children

provided in the two lists. Fortunately, D.B. Landis gave a birthdate for the man he called John Landis as April 18, 1779. No birthdates or spouse's names were provided in the Best/Slabaugh list, but we obtained records from the Miscellaneous Books/Orphans' Court which gave approximate birthdates for the children of Henry Landis (1751-1791). Elizabeth, Mary, and Henry were over 14 on June 27, 1792, i.e. born before 1778. On January 2, 1793, the

court appointed Benjamin Landis, a neighbor, as guardian of John Landis, who was under 14-a date consistent with the birthdate for "Hill" John given by D.B. Landis. The reader will note that these approximate birthdates fit well with a marriage date of 1771 (given by Best and Slabaugh) and the birthdate of 1779 (given by D.B. Landis). The two lists both refer to children born in the period from 1772 to 1791. It is highly improbable that two persons named Mary (Erb) Landis would bear four sons of the same names in the same township in the same time period, each with a son John born in 1779. We conclude that there was only one such couple-Henry Landis and Mary Erb. Thirdly, we researched the wife of "Hill" John Landis, given by D.B. Landis as Margaretta Snavely. Best and Slabaugh did not give a name of the wife. "Hill" John Landis was assigned a guardian named Benjamin Landis (1756-1811), a close neighbor and relative, son of Benjamin Landis (1730-1787) and Ann Snavely. Benjamin and Ann sold land to Henry Landis (b. ca. 1700) and Veronica Groff, grandparents of the children who were assigned guardians. Since the elder Benjamin Landis had married a great-aunt of the young John Landis, he was being attached by guardianship to a Landis family with close ties to Snavely families. Thus, he probably would have had opportunity to learn to know and marry Margaret Snavely. Fourthly, the intestate papers of Henry Landis (1751- 1791) were examined. An inquest was held on January 20, 1800, in which the heirs were named, the seven legatees with their guardians. On April 16, 1800, Henry Landis, son of the deceased Henry Landis, was ordered to sell '300 acres and pay the shares to the children and widow. On April 10, 1801, when John Landis had reached age 21, Henry transferred 60 acres by deed to his brother as share of his father's estate. The court document lists the "widow named Maria and seven children namely, Henry his eldest son, John, David, Abraham, Elizabeth married to George Shartel, Mary then married to Henry Kalbach, and Ann, to and among whom the same [land] scended. In later deeds we learn that Anna married John Lichty /Light of Dauphin County. Thus, we have primary sources which name the children of Henry Landis and Mary Erb, including who is shown to be "Hill" John Landis (b. 1779). Additional evidence is the deed which transferred

land to "Hill" John Landis. It also names Jacob Stoner as the husband of Elizabeth Landis, sister of "Hill" John Landis. D.B. Landis had noted that this Elizabeth was the grandchild of Mary Erb and John [sic] Landis, thus proving that he inadvertently was connecting Elizabeth to Henry Landis and Mary Erb.

This deed follows in the page sequence another deed in which "Hill" John Landis recorded his purchase of land in 1801 from his eldest brother Henry. Other deeds involved in the estate of Henry Landis (d. 1791) name many of the spouses of the children whom D.B. Landis includes in his 1888 genealogy, thus again showing that the D.B. Landis list and the Best/Slabaugh list comprise the same siblings, the children of Henry Landis (d. 1791) and Mary Erb.
