From Mary Claunch Lane's book "The Claunch Family"


"There is the pronunciation of the names Glantz, when spoken b y a German sounds like Clontz or Clawnch or Claunce. The LDS rec ords show hundreds of Glantzs in Germany. They were mostly in t he Rhineland which would also make them Palentines.

In 1732 our ancestry family arrived in Philidelphia aboard the " Adventure". We have an "English" ship captain or his clerk who , for whatever reason, lists our ancestry as Jerimy Glance wit h a wife and two children. On the captains list we also find Ha nce Micalle Glance and Hans Machal Meik. Hans and/or Hance can a lso, be presumed to be "John". There is on board the Adventur e a young girl named Anna Margreate Glance, age 9. Anna and Mar garet are both Claunch names. German Pioneers in Pennsylvania (G en. Pub House) provides the following information. Philidelphi a required all ships to produce three lists of immigrants:

1) Captains list providing name, place of birth and occupations ;
2) Oath of allegiance to the Crown for males over 21
3) Oath to suppor the Commonweath of Pennsylvania for males ove r 21

List 23 A (captain's list): A list of ye names of all ye men an d ages on board ye Adventure (Robt. Curson, Mr. from Rotterdam . Qualified Sep 23, 1732.)

Andreuss Killaem
Jerimy Glance age 29
Andreuss Horne
Marrea Medl. Glance age 30
Anna Margreate Glance age 9
Hance Micalle Glance age 4
Hans Michal Meik no age given


List 23 B (Oath to the Crown): Names of males over 21 which ar e in the following order:

Andreas Kilian
Hieronymus Glantz
Andreas Horne
Hanns Michael Haag
Georg Michael Mack
Hans Peter Steyger


List 23 C (Oath to the Commonwealth): Names of males over 21 whi ch are in the same order as list 23 B.

Andreas Kilian
Hieronymus Glantz
Andreas Horne
Hanns Michael Haag
Georg Michael Mack
Hans Peter Steyger

There can be little doubt that Jerimy Glance and Hieronymus Glan tz are the same person and that Hans Michal Meik and Georg Micha el Mack are the same person. The ship's list was made by a cler k and B and C from signatures. Hieronymus is said to mean Jerom e, shortened to Jerimy. It is also said that Hans can be transl ated as John or Johann.

The records of the LDS church indicate that on 15 Oct 1733 in wh at would eventually be a part of Lebanon County, PA, an Hieronym us Glantz married Erna Barbara Mack. This would be a second mar riage for him, since he had a wife aboard the ship.

The name next appears in Lunenburg County, Virginia as Jeremia h Glaush in 1748. In 1749 the the tithe master named him as Jer miah Clanch. In 1750 he is still Jeremiah Clanch and he has i n his household a certain George Mack. And further in 1752 in Lu nenburg County we have a John Clonch appearing on the tithe list . This could be the four-year old child listed on the ship list ing.


From "The Family of Madison Love Claunch, Sr. "

"Jeremiah Glaush appears on the earliest known tithe list (1748 ) for Lunenburg County, Virginia. We think it is only a sligh t presumption to consider this as the same person who will appea r on 1749 and 1750 Tithe Lists as "Jeremiah Clanch". In 1751, h e is listed as "Jeremiah Clansh". However, also in 1751, that i s a court record wherein a Jeremiah Claunch is recorded as being , a surety in matters pertaining to the estate of a Henry Smith . During this period, he is indicated as being a "head of house hold". The only other person shown as being in his household i s a "George Mock (or, Mark)". We do not, at this time, have an y further information on "George Mock (Mark)"."

Note: only men over 16 are listed.

"Sometime between 1765 and 1774 the Claunchs, from whatever plac e and of whatever generation, moved into that part of western Vi rginia that can now be identified as Montogomery County. Jeremia h "Clonch" is advertising a stray horse in 1774. He land gran t is dated Dec. 31, 1775 and is described as being 80 acres "o n both sides of Chestnut Creek." In 1777, Jeremiah "Cloynch" wi ll swear allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia and refuse s uch allegiance to King George III. In 1777, he is accused of "be ing inimical to the Governmoent of the State -." He is acquite d of that charge. "

In 1781 Jeremiah Clonch, along with John and Edmond "Clonsh" app ear on Muster List of the Montgomery County Militia. Males betwe en the ages of 18 and 50 were required to be members of the mili tia. It seems significant that Jeremiah is noted as being "no t fit".
