They arrived in Philadelphia 11 August 1732 on the ship "Samuel."
The Christian Frantz family settled in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on May 9, 1738. where Christian Frantz received a warrant of land from Thomas and Richard Penn for 200 acres on a mountain located two miles from Little Swatara Creek, but Christian never exercised his warrant as he died in the winter of 1738-39. An inventory of his estate March 27. 1739 indicated that he had no land and very little personal property. He was a member of the Church of the Brethren.
The Christian Frantz family arrived in Rotterdam in the Netherlands in May 1732, before continuing on to Pennsylvania on the ship "Samuel." They numbered 13 persons, including 11 children, and had 100 Dutch guilders. When they arrived in Pennsylvania on August 11, 1732, only 11 family members are listed when they disembarked in Philadelphia.
