BUTZ FAMILY.
The progenitor of this large and honored family is John Butz who, in company with 62 men, 200 persons all told, landed at Philadelphia November 9, 1738. According to the family Bible he was a native of Hertzogberg, near Kromanemberg, situated in the lower part of Bavaria. He is said to have died at Philadelphia February 23, 1750, and to have been survived by a son, Peter, and a daughter, Catharine.
Peter Butz (son of John) came to Longswamp soon after his arrival in America and located near Topton, where some of his descendants have since lived, until 1760, when he purchased and re- moved to a farm of 236 acres in the beautiful Macungie Valley, now Lower Macungie, and since the increase of his descendants now living

He was one of the organizers of the Longswamp Church in 1748, having previous- ly been sent together with Jacob Long, Reformed, and two Lutheran representatives to Phila. to buy a tract of land for a Union church. The Lutherans taking advantage of their brethren secured the ground for a Lutheran Church and forthwith erected Lehigh Church previously or- ganized. Undaunted by this experience, ground was subsequently purchased on which the Long- swamp Reformed Church was erected.
On Oct. 22, 1743, he was married to Anna Barbara Carl, born Nov. 26, 1718, at Hessen, Nassau, Germany.
