Occupation: Farmer.
J. Heinrich Lantz was a farmer from Frankfurt am Main. He was literate according to the passenger list for the ship Murdoch. He immigrated with his wife and three children in 1751. He was indebted for three freights totalling fl. 212.12.8. Heinrich Lantz and his family resided with the other foreign Protestants at Halifax and appears on the victualling lists of August-October 1752 and February-April 1753. According to the Halifax census return of July 1752, he resided with his family at the ‘Block House and the Isthmus’ which is now the area near Armdale and extending to Bedford Basin.
Along with the other foreign Protestants, Heinrich Lantz removed to Lunenburg in the late spring of 1753. The return of arms in December 1753 shows him residing at Strassburger’s Division of Lunenburg town. A similar return in July 1754 shows him to have a house on lot A-14 in Strassburger's Division. The 1754 land lottery for 30 acre lots indicates that he received lot 9 in Oakland. In the livestock distribution of 1754, Heinrich Lantz received six sheep, one sow and one goat to be shared with Godfried Hermstadt.
During the late 1750s the Lantz family remained on the victualling list as did most settlers during the period of the French and Indian War when there were numerous raids by Indians on outlying Lunenburg farms. They appear on the lists of June 1755, February-May 1756, and January-May 1757. The threat of Micmac raids made farming difficult. Also during this period, the abandoned livestock of the Acadians at Grand Pré was collected. Heinrich Lantz appears to have participated in this expedition.
In the 1762 Registry of Town Lots, Heinrich Lantz registered ownership of lot A-14 Strassburger’s Division. The Registry of 30 Acre Farm Lots in 1762 confirmed his ownership of Oakland lot 9. In the lottery for 300 acre lots on 7 November 1763, he received lot B-4 First Division. On 30 June 1784 legal ownership of the land he owned was conferred upon him and the other Lunenburgers through the Township Grant. Heinrich Lantz at this point owned 190 acres, but it is unclear if this is the father or the son.
Heinrich Lantz was a member of the Lutheran Church. He donated money towards its construction in 1770-71. He appears on the membership rolls in 1775 and in the account book from 1770 to 1780.
