Spellingvariant: Hans Gontsy.
Het Boerderijenboek "Oude Groninger Veenkolonien" noemt Jakob Hansen Koussie een zoon van Hans Gontsy, wonend op nr 65 in de Lula. De Doopsgezinde Bijdragen 21 noemen hem afkomstig van Kampen, en de Zwitserse Doopsgezinde Gemeente koopt voor zijn gezin Kalkwijk nr 7 in 1715.
In september 1714 meldt het kerkboek van Gontenschwil: "Als wederdopers zijn weggetrokken en hebben voor zich en hunne nakomelingen het land- en burgerrecht alhier verloren, so mir auch zu verzeichnen von Wh. H. C. Landvoigten befohlen werden, de navolgende personen" (daaronder Samuel en Barbara, beide wel lid van de "gereformeerde kerk"). De "toon" van het in het duits weergegeven deel van de tekst zou op een welgezinde houding van de kerkvoogden ten aanzien van de door de overheidsmaatregelen getroffenen kunnen duiden. Samuels ouders bleven in Gontenschwil. Degenen die weg gaan zijn Hans Gautschi, Jacob Peter, Samuel Peter (Meihusen) en Barbara Frey, Rudi Peter, Samuel Peter Stülzer en Rudi Peter met hun gezinnen en ook nog de ongehuwden Samuel Lentsweyler en Rudi Würgler. Deze groep dopersen reisde dan op eigen gelegenheid naar Basel en verder naar Nederland en Groningen, alwaar zich eerdere vluchtelingen en familieleden gevestigd hadden.
