Biography

FSFTID 2C1S-DTZ.

Note: John Georg Anton (or Anthony) Haines/Heintz probably came to this country from Germany with Michael Heintz and his siblings Eva, Christiana, Mary, and Anthony. They landed in Philadelphia, PA (Port of Entry), and left for Baltimore, Maryland, because of the Quakers of Philadelphia who tried to impose their religion on the Heintzes. Michael Haines' will was probated in Baltimore Co. MD on 11 Oct. 1791. Will was dated 1 Sept. 1779. His death had to have occurred between those dates. 1752 he bought land. Michael Haines was a non-Juror to the Oath of Allegiance during the Revolutionary War. Both Michael and Catherine left Wills in Baltimore County, which identify their children. Michael's will was dated in 1779. 2 Michael was in the area as early as 1763 when he appears as a Taxable in Soldier's Delight Hundred. 2 According to "The Billowing Branches" family tree, John Georg Anton (Anthony) was a successful farmer in Manchester area of what is now Carroll County, Maryland. He and his brother Michael were part of a group of Palatines who migrated from Pennsylvania to Maryland because they were being oppressed in York County, Pa. They were part of a religious sect called Augsburg Confession, a Protestant statement of faith first approved by Martin Luther in 1530. 2 Anthony purchased "Hawkins Fancy" in 1766, a farm of 277 acres. He also owned 405 acres in Frederick County, Md. named "The Five Daughters". 2 Anthony took the Oath of Allegiance in 1778 before Hon. Edward Cockey.
