Individual:
D4- Dewalt Lentz. His name is spelled both ways--as Devault
(pronounced "Defalt" in German) and as Dewalt (pronounced Debalt). Yousometimes see "Duvall" used for his name in IL.
He was born 26 Jun 1766 and baptised 20 Jul 1766, sponsors: (his Uncle) D-Dewalt Lentz and Maria Kleinin ("in" added to indicate anunmarried woman.).
An incomplete marriage record in the Rowan records, p 257, shows Dauvlt Lentz, German, m. ________, on______--179___.bondsman:_____Lentz, German. We have selected 1793 as the year ofthis marriage since his first child was born in 1794. He was age 27in 1793.
On 15 May 1802 (B-) Bastian Lentz, Sr., sells his son (B4-) Dewalt Lentz, "100 acres by estimation, for five shillings". (Rowan, Bk. 18,p. 313.) In so accepting this sale, Dewalt obtained his inheritancein advance and so this left him off his father's Will.
On 14 May 1805 Devalt Lentz sells Michael Richee "100 acres by estimation". "It being part of a tract originally granted to BastianLentz by the state and conveyed to Devold Lentz". (Signed: DavaldLence (X). ($350.00). (Rowan Bk 22, p 537,
On 6 Apr 1818 Devault Lentz sells to George Blazer, 200 acres, for $825.00. (Rowan, Bk. 24, p 575). This is believed to be his finalsale of land before going to Illinois, probably in 1818 with hisbrother, B2- Peter Lentz.
He had 7 children, all lived in Illinois.
Some records show him in IL in 1817. He may have made an advance trip there to buy land in 1817 and waited to sell his land in NC in1818 before taking his family to IL.
When B25- Peter LENTZ, Jr., died in IL in 1824, B4- Devault LENTZ was paid $2.50 for the lumber used in making B25-'s coffin.
B4- shows on Rowan census, 1810, p. 326, which cites his and wife's ages as from 26-45; 2 males age 1-10; 2 males 10-16; and 1female 10-16---five children in all..
NOTE: One historian claimed that a man with wagon and team and $250 could go to Illinois, build a house and sheds for his animals anddo some fencing besides buying a farm.
In Illinois, the name was spelled LENCE and the name is quite prominent spelled that way today. A few returned to the spelling ofLENTZ.
Sponsored by D- Dewalt (or Dewald Lentz (uncle) and Maria Kleinin
("in"added to signify an unmarried woman.) or Maria Klein.
