    'John, eldest son of Nicholas Erb, ... married a Johns from Leacock township, lived for some time with his father, but subsequently moved near to Manheim, where he died.'

    NOTE: "Johns" is another form of "Shantz" (this source also identifies the husband of John's sister Magdalena as a "Johns" of Leacock township).
