[1120] Robert m. Katherine _____; Katherine was widow of Thomas Lees at her marriage to Robert Hinckley. Robert's will is dated 5 April 1605; he was buried 27 March 1606. He is "of Tenterden, co. Kent." According to Hugh A. Johnson's "Hinckley Genealogy, p. 20, Robert m. (1) Elizabeth ______ who died 02-Nov-1574, and they had Thomas (1562), Clement (1570) and Isaac (1571) at Harrietsham, co. Kent; all three sons lived to maturity. With Katherine, Robert had eight known children, listed in "Hinckley Heritage...," E. Charles Hinckley, pp. 7-8. [Note: "Hinckley Heritage..." is not reliable. The Rev'd Fr. R. J. Goode wrote 13 Dec 1996: "Our Hinckleys appear to have come from Lenham where the church is St. Mary's . . . At some point the family moved next door to Harrietsham. That is where Elder Samuel was from as was his father, Robert. Robert was not connected with Tenterden as far as I know. Robert's father was pretty definitely the John whose death is listed in Harrietsham (1577) for he is listed as 'pater familias' in the Harriestsham register."]

[28961] San Francisco Call (San Francisco, California), July 31, 1907 (Wednesday), "DOUBLE FUNERAL HELD AT ODD FELLOWS' CEMETERY. Mrs. Charlotte Levy and Mother Mrs. Drusilla Poore, Laid to Rest Side by Side. Mrs. Charlotte Levy and her mother, Mrs. Drusilla Poore, were laid to rest side by side yesterday afternoon at Odd Fellows' cemetery. Mrs. Levy, who had been ill for many months, died several days ago [July 28 in San Jose] and the shock of her death so affected her aged mother that she, too, passed away [on July 29]. It was decided to hold a double funeral. The interment was quiet, only the immediate relatives being in attendance. Rev. William Rader read the last rites. Both Mrs. Levy and Mrs. Poore were well known in this city and throughout the state. Mrs. Levy was the mother of Mrs. Meyer Wood, whose husband is one of the directors of S. N. Wood & Co. Many handsome floral offerings decked the caskets."

"Snyder County Pioneers," Dr. Charles A. Fisher, pg. 64, reports that he and his wife had one son and five daughters. One daughter was Mrs. Lawrence Haines. The two youngest daughters were Susan and Barbara. This is reported via Internet 6/98 by LaRae Andedrson [larae@aros.net]. George Motz paid the supply tax in 1782 and 1783, and is therefore considered a Patriot for DAR and SAR membership. NSDAR application for member 634462 (1996) attests his service in the 1776 Committee of Safety and payment of the supply tax in 1782 and 1783, citing the PA Archives, 3rd Series, Vol, 19, pp. 413, 502, 571, 603, 664 & 739, and "Annals of the Buffalo Valley, 1755-1855," (1877).
Georges will, written 4 Feb 1806 proved 22 Feb 1806, is on file in Northumberland County. We learn certain names from his will: his wife was Mary, his son was John, a son-in-law was Larents Hanes, his youngest unmarried daughters were Susanna and Barbara, his other three daughters were married, but unfortunately for us they were not named in his will. In total he had 6 children.
Charles A. Fisher in "Snyder County Pioneers" wrote that George was buried with his wife in Freeburg at St. Peters Church. No one has been able to locate his tombstone and he is not listed among the buried by Wagensellar who transcribed all Snyder County tombstones around the year 1900.
In his book "Notes and Queries: Historical, Biographical and Genealogical, Relating Chiefly to Interior PA", W.H. Egle speculates George Peter, along with his brothers John and Michael, were sons of Caspar Motz with a birthplace of Berks County, PA. Another respected historian and genealogist, Dr. Charles A. Fisher, issued a genealogical report to Paul H. Motz of Cleveland in 1948 in which he believes the father could be Jacob Motz who lived in Berks Co., and had patented land in Penns Township, Northumberland Co. in 1773, the same year as did George Peter Motz.
However, birth and christening records from Cocalico/Warwick Townships of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, show that brothers Michael and John were born to Henry Motz. Further, George's marriage record lists his father as Heinrich. Land records for George have also identified him as a resident of Lancaster Co.
George Michael Motz's land warrant #182, dated 9 Dec 1773 for 100 acres, was situated near Michael Mot'z property on Chestnut Hill. Notably, the warrant application lists him as a resident of Lancaster Co. Earlier that year on 15 Feb 1773 Michael Motz purchased 100 acres and one week later on 22 Feb 1773 he sold the land to George Motz. In that transaction, both men are listed as residents of Lancaster Co.
Although he held land in Penn Township, Northumberland Co. since 1773, according to available tax records he lived and worked in an iron foundry in Union Township, Berks Co. from the time of his marriage and for several years afterward, while also being taxed as a non-resident for his land in Penn, Northumberland Co. The 1778 tax list for Union Co., Berks notes he held 200 acres in Northampton Co. However, research reveals no such land in Northampton Co. and it was actually his 200 acres in Northumberland Co. By 1785 it appears he was a permanent resident of Penn, Northumberland Co. with no further connections to Union Township, Berks Co.
It should be noted Union Township is adjacent to Robeson Township where his wife Anna Maria Friess and her family lived and attended Plow Church. Rev. Heinrich Moeller performed their marriage at Schwarzwald Reformed Church (Jacksonwald) on 30 Jan 1776; George Motz, son of Heinrich married Anna Maria Fritz (sic), daughter of Joh(annes). Her name was either incorrectly recorded or more likely later transcribed as "Fritz" rather than Frisz or Friess, etc.
While in Union Township, Berks Co. George was acquainted with a man named Jacob Sties Sr. of Union Township and the two men would remain on close terms. In fact, Motz would later serve as co-executor for Stees' Will dated 16 Jul 1784 and probated 6 Aug 1784. Jacob Sties' son would much later be named as Motz's executor in Penn Township, Northumberland, although he declined to serve. Perhaps their friendship dates back to Warwick, Lancaster where several Sties/Stees families lived. Notably, a couple named George and Anna Maria Motz baptized their daughter Elizabeth on 20 Jun 1784 in nearby Amity Township, Berks Co. which is near Union Co. The daughter Elizabeth was born 11 Sep 1783. Both Sties and Motz went back and forth between Penn, Northumberland, where each had land and Sties had mills, and Union Twp., Berks Co. where Sties was involved in iron foundry work and Motz worked as a moulder and foundry worker.
1790 Census. George Moatz lives in Northumberland Co. His brothers, Michael Motz and John Motes are also present.
1800 Census. George Moats lives in Penns Twp. There are extra people in his household, especially a male under 10. It is one of his married children and their young son I am sure. His brothers John and Michael Moats had already removed to Haines Twp, Centre County.
When George died in February 1806 it ended the marriage to Anna Maria Frisz. Her tombstone was inscribed in German language and notes her simply as "wife of George Moatz" and that they were wedded _0 years and 1 month. The missing digit would be a "3"; From Jan 1776 to Feb 1806 is 30 years and 1 month, although technically it was 30 years and 1 week.
