• Notes

  Son of Benjamin Landis and Maria Ann Weber SOURCE: The Landis Family of Lancaster County, by D. B. Landis, Page 13 Benjamin Landis, third oldest son of the younger immigrant, moved to Manheim township, in 1751-3, after buying his wife's only brother(+) out, which left him 800 or 1,000 acres of land?? about three miles from Lancaster city, near the Reading road and close to where the Landis Valley meeting-house now stands. Benjamin was married, in 1749, to Anna Snavely, only daughter of John Snavely. They had three sons: Hansel (John), born March 15, 1755; Bennie (Benjamin), born in the winter of 1756; and Henry, born December 5, 1760. Benjamin's3 place "was the refuge of many Swiss emigrants, who enjoyed his hospitality until they were able to secure homes for themselves." Contributor: Michael Smoke (49199710)
