''The Groff Book'' Vol.2., pp.6, 90-92. Ronks, PA : Groff History Associates. [Identifier ?LS1731.2] He was a farmer, and a Mennonite minister. '''Marriage and children''' : Henry married Veronica Groff (c.1710-c.1750, daughter of Hans Graff and Susanna Kendig), probably c.1731. They were the parents of 11 children :# Mary (c.1732-aft.1788) m. Michael Shank # Frena (c.1733-1779) m. John Schrantz # Christina (c.1735-aft.1779) m. Peter Good # Anna (1734-1791) m. John Donner / Downer # Barbara (c.1736-aft.1779) m. Arnold Becker / Backer # Susanna (c.1736-1778) m. John Hess # Elizabeth (1743-1781) m. Abraham Hershey # Margaret (c.1743-1803) m. John Jacob Alter # Magdalena (c.1744-1798) m. Abraham Donner / Downer # Catherine (c.1747-1815) m. Benjamin Hershey # Henry (c.1750-1791) m. Mary Erb By March 1, 1754, Henry Landis had married a second wife, Mary, widow of Jacob Shelley and mother of seven grown children, six sons and one daughter. '''Land records''' : On 8 Jan 1733, Henry warranted 147 acres of land on Hammer Creek in Warwick Twp, Lancaster, PA, but the land was not patented until 1741. He later purchased land in Manheim Twp from Benjamin Landis. '''Death''' : Conflicting details are given of Henry's death. One source records that he died either 1767 or 1772 and that his will had been written on 17 May 1760 and was probated on 3 Jul 1772. Another records that he died c.1760 and (incorrectly) that his will was proven in 1761. Further research is needed to clarify. '''Will''' : The will of Henry Landes of Manheim Twp, Lancaster, PA, was made on 17 May 1760, witnessed by Abra. Myer and Valentine Metzler, and naming Henry's son-in-law Arnold Becker and trusted friend Benjamin Landes as executors. Henry leaves his 216-acre property in Manheim Twp to his son, Henry, with instructions that Henry is to make payment in annual instalments to the other children until they have all received an equal share of the estate's value. The land is to be let out until Henry either reaches the age of 21 years or marries. The will also provides for payment of 100 pounds to Henry's beloved wife, Mary. On 6 Oct 1760, a codicil was added, leaving miscellaneous personal items (including a bible, hymn book and psalm book) to son Henry, and a 198-acre tract of land in Donegal Twp to wife Mary. The codicil was witnessed by Joseph Kropf and Abra. Myer. The will was proven on 3 Jul 1772.Lancaster County (Pennsylvania). Register of Wills (Will Book I-K, 1747-1830). Viewed at https://www.ancestry.com.au/discoveryui-content/view/2099063:8802 : Will of Henry Landes of Manheim Twp, made 1760 proven 1772. ==Research Notes==Pre-merge version of profile included unsourced claims that Henry was :* born in Manheim Township, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This is unlikely to be correct, since the Mennonite immigrants arrived after c.1709, and is presumed to be a mis-reading of the chaotically structured Mennonite Vital Records card. * the son of Hans Landis * married in 1728 in Northampton, PA == Sources == See also : * http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/search.php* Wenger, S.
