Monts Family in Germany

The Monts family came to South Carolina in the fall of 1752, among a large scale shipping of Württemberg Germans in the fall of 1752. The petitions for bounty of Barnard, Gaspar, Anna Maria, and Elizabeth Monts state that they all  came on the Caledonia. These were the children of Georg Manz and Anna Maria  Stoss of Kleinengstingen, now in Engstingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.  They left Germany after the deaths of their parents.

HANS MANTZ AND BARBARA ENSINGER

 The earliest German record for the Monts family is the marriage in Buttenhausen of Hans Mantz, son of Georg Mantz, to Barbara Ensinger. This marriage took place  on 26 October 1645. Barbara Ensinger was the daughter of Michael Ensinger. Hans Mantz died on 20 February 1675. Barbara died on 27 December 1675.

GEORGE MANTZ AND CHRISTINA HäGELIN

 Hans Mantz and Barbara Ensinger were the parents of Georg Mantz who was born  27 January 1646 and died 30 September 1687. On 10 February 1676, Georg Mantz married in Buttenhausen, Christina Hägelin, daughter of Jacob Hägelin.  After the death of Georg Mantz, Christina married again on 17 April 1692 to  Hans Wilhelm Houber.

GEORG MANZ AND ANNA MARIA STOSS

 Georg Manz and Christina Hägelin were the parents of Georg Manz (Daylaborer)  who was born in 1681 and died 28 January 1735. On 18 May 1709, Georg Manz married  in Kohlstetten, Anna Maria Stoss, who was born 30 November 1684 and died 22 December 1743, daughter of Hans Bernhart Stoss (Farmer) and Regina Spon. The  Kleinengstingen record lists Georg’s name as “Hans Georg.”  Hans Georg and Christina Manz settled in Kleinengstingen where all of their children were born.

 Georg Manz and Anna Maria Stoss had nine children. Marriage records for the sons, Bernhard and Johan Caspar Manz, are found in the Kleiningstingen and Holzelfingen parish books, respectively. These two sons migrated to SC in 1752 as did two daughters, Anna Maria and Elisabetha. The two sisters petitioned for bounty  in their maiden names and at that time had one daughter each.

Bernhard Manz in old records is also known as Bernhard Michael Mantz. He is also named in the will of his cousin, John Onsilt of St. James Parish (Charleston Wills 24, p. 1031).

 Bernhard Manz petitioned for bounty in SC claiming a wife and children: Michael and George (Council Journal 20:452). The 200 acre bounty grant of Bernhard Manz  was located on Camping Cr. Bernhard Manz lived at first in what is now Newberry  County, then, not long before his death, moving to the Zion Church area of Lexington County, SC. While living in the Dutch Fork he was a founding elder of St. Paul's Church, Pomaria, SC (Bulow to Church Elders, Newberry Deeds B-107).

In 1770, Michael Mintz Jr. was given by his father a 150 acre tract on Broad River (Charleston Deeds Q-3, p. 6). (In this deed they are called “Michael  Mintz, Sr. and Jr.”). The name of Michael Manz is found in a variety of early records. Michael Christoph Manz is believed to have died before 1800,  leaving a widow, Elizabeth, who in the 1800 census record is found among families  who lived in the Zion Church area of Lexington County. She may have been the  widow Monts found on lists of contributors to Zion Church as late as 1806.

JOHAN CASPAR MANZ

 Johan Caspar Manz was born 3 March 1723 in Kleinengstingen and married in November 1751 (in Holzelfingen), Anna Catharina Werner, daughter of Christian  Werner of Holzelfingen. A daughter, Ursula, was born 27 August 1750 in Germany,  before they married. They migrated to SC in 1752, coming on the Caledonia. A bounty grant of 150 acres to Gasper Mantz was located on Eighteen Mile Cr., south side of Saluda River in Lexington County. (Colonial Grants 5:244). A Memorial  for John Barnet See records that on 13 July 1759 Gasper Mantz sold his bounty grant to See (Memorials 7:257). Gasper Mans is found in the list of men who  were on duty in Col. Chevillette's Battalion at the Congarees Store from 1759  to 1760 (M. J. Clark, Colonial Soldiers of the South, 1732-1774, pp. 907/908).

URSULA MANZ

 Ursula Manz, the daughter of Johann Caspar Manz, was born 27 August 1750. She obtained a 100 acre survey in 1772 just south of Little Mountain, SC. Later plats in the area show that her land was later owned by Henry Amick. It is possible that Ursula Manz was the wife of Johann Heinrich Emig (Amick), born 7 March  1746, son of Johann Conradt Emig and Barbara Herion. The Amicks came to SC in  1752 on the Upton.

GOSPER MONTS

 Gosper Monts, the son of Johan Caspar Manz and Anna Maria Werner, was probably  born about 1755. In the year 1817 he was dead. Gosper Monts married Anna Mary Minick who was born about 1768 and died after 1850, daughter of George Bartholomew  Minick and Mary Magdalena Summer. The family of Gosper Monts lived near present  day Little Mountain, SC. Gosper Monts owned the bounty grants of George Henry and Catherine Wertz. John William (Jockey) Monts, grandson of Gosper Monts, lived on the George Henry Wertz tract. The Catherine Wertz grant contained the home place of John Monts and his family cemetery.

 There is much evidence that Gosper Monts was orphaned at an early age and raised by the Wertz family. In a deed of 1798, John Miller gave the 50 acre  bounty grant of Catherine Wertz to his godchild, John Montz, oldest son of his  stepson, Gosper Montz (Newberry Deeds P-2, p. 438). This land had been sold  by indenture of 1765 to Miller by George Henry Wertz (Rosalyn Sease Indenture Collection, Caroliniana Library). John Miller, in the above deed, was the second husband of Anna Barbara, widow of Jerg Heinrich Wertz. (In 1778, Barbara Miller transferred a tract of land on Camping Cr. to her son, George Henry Werts, Newberry Deeds O, p. 51). The Wertz family, like the Monts, migrated from Holzelfingen to SC in 1752. Since the Werts and Manz families were not closely related, it  is thought likely that Jerg Heinrich and Anna Barbara Wertz were the Godparents of Gosper Monts. After the death of the parents of Gosper Monts he was raised by the Wertzes. Following the death of Gosper’s step-father Wertz, his step-mother remarried Johannes Müller and who was the second step-father of Gosper Monts.

 The family of Gosper Monts and Anna Mary Minnick was described by Sarah Ann Catherine Feagle Monts, widow of George Michael Monts (from notes made by Rosalyn Summer Sease). Gosper Monts, according to Mrs. Monts, had no brothers in America  and had the following children: Eve Catherine (married Adam Shealy), Polly (married  Henry Smith), John, Adam (moved to Mississippi), Jasper (moved to Alabama),  and William.
