Kintz/Kent N-hampton Co PA, Warren Co NJ
Searching for the parents of Jacob Dietrich Kintz born 26SEP1830.According to my aunt, his parents were seperated, not deceased.There is a long and serious history of alcoholism in this family which may have been the cause of the separation.
Jacob was raised near Stone Church, Upper Mt Bethel Twp, Northampton Co, PA by two aunts and uncles:
Jacob and Susan Dietrich
Dr. Robert and Caroline Dietrich James.
The parents of the above Jacob Dietrich and Caroline Dietrich James were Jacob and Margaret Kintz Dietrich. Jacob Sr. was a merchant; his wife, Margaret, was a daughter of Lewis/Louis/Ludwig Kintz who was the son of Michael, both of Monroe Co PA (later Northampton).
Jacob Dietrich Kintz married Matilda Stier of Johnsonville (near Stone Church) 10NOV1855.Children were Emma Adelaide* (m.John Lewis), Diana Stier* (m.George Davis), Marian (m.Frank Everett), Charles Valandingham (m.Mary Ann Barnett), Rachel Minerva*, Clarance Washington (m.Jennie Allen), Malvena Louella*, Mary Elizabeth (m.Rev Robert Tarleton), Alice Parks (m.Joseph Roth), William Stier (m.Lyra Liser). The asterick * indicates no children.
Around 1890, during a Kintz family gathering in Binghamton NY, the name change to Kent was adopted so the spelling varies from document to document for some time.
In 1891, Jacob Dietrich Kintz was living in Hacketstown, Warren Co NJ and was named executor for the estate of Susan Kintz (b.1828) who died in Johnsonville. She may have been his sister. Her heirs lived in Northampton Co PA (Charles East, Susan Becker, Mary Ernst), and Warren Co NJ (Margaret Kintz, John Kintz, William Kintz, George Kent, Dell (Adele?) Gibbs.
Per several family sources: the Kintz' were Austrian Jews.
Does any of this ring a bell?If so, please 'ring' me at [email protected]. And my the Lord take a likin' to ya.
