Person:Hartmann Mertz (1)

In a message from Henry Fischer, it was learned that Johannes Mertz (Marz) was one of the first settlers in Tofu--they arrived there in 1722-23. Their place of origin was Pinstott or better known by its German name, Bönstadt (Noble Domain of Erzenburg), which is 12.5 miles from Frankfurt-am-Main. There were other Mertz men listed in the Tofu history--Hartmann Mertz and Adam Mertz--most likely brothers or cousins.

Tofu was the first of the settlements established on the Eszterhazy domains by Germans.

I am assuming that Hartmann is the son of Johannes Mertz and the brother of Anna Maria and Adam.
