Other Events and Attributes:

• Fact: Daughter of Jacob Baltzly

Notes:

Name:
The Baltzly ancestral home is Langnau, Switzerland, just south of the German border and close to Bern, Switzerland. In Switzerland the family name was Balzil and was pronounced Baltii. The name appears in Bernese documents before 1400. Baltzly families were Protestants and the family of Jacob Baltzly was among those that emigrated north because of religious persecution following revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.

Jacob Baltzly, his wife, & 2 daughters emigrated from the Alsace area of Germany, arriving in Pennsylvania in 1742. Following their arrival the family soon moved to Lancaster County where records show Jacob was granted 112 acres in Hempfield township on 15 Aug 1744. Two sons & a daughter were born after the family arrived in PA. Jacob is listed on 1751 and 1756 Hempfield township tax records but about 1770 the family moved across the Susquehanna river to Paradise Township in York County.
