Records for Morris and Sussex Counties, Province of New Jersey are scarce. It is not known who Thomas Beers married as his first wife. Son Joseph Beers with a birth date of 1754 could be the last child of the first wife or the first child of Anne Nerres, the second wife. Since there were a few older siblings, it seems unlikely that Anne Neeres was the mother to all of the children of Thomas Beers to whom there were 13 children.

Johann Heinrich Lantz, son of
824. Michael Lantz &
825. Anna Catharina Stelzin.
Born on 9 Jul 1707 in Nieder-Erlenbach, Reichsstadt Frankfurt, Holy Roman Empire. Johann Heinrich died in Chester Twp., Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia, British North America, on 24 Nov 1788; he was 81. Buried in Mahone Bay, Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia, British North America. 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.
On 6 Feb 1742 Johann Heinrich married Anna Maria Milchen in Frankfurt am Main, Reichsstadt Frankfurt, Holy Roman Empire.

Johann Georg Ewald, son of
828. Christian Ewald &
829. Anna Catharina Binder.
Born on 15 Oct 1731 in Osthofen, Kur-Pfalz, Holy Roman Empire.57 Johann Georg died in Rose Bay, Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia, British America, on 18 Jul 1771; he was 39.
The 1753 Registry of 30-Acre Farm Lots indicates that George Ewald received Rose Bay range lot no. 11. The 1760 Registry of 30-Acre Farm Lots confirms ownership to Rose Bay lot no. 11. On 7 November 1763, George Ewald drew lot A-6, Second Division in the second lottery drawing for 300-acre lots. The 1784 Grant to Lunenburg Township states that the heirs of George Ewalt owned 325 acres of land.
On 22 Aug 1758 Johann Georg married
