As many of us have discussed, incest runs deep in eastern Rowan County. One thing I thought we might do with this blog is explore some of the connections between us by focusing on various ancestors that so many of us share. Today's featured ancestor is Peter Joseph Caldwell Lentz (1848-1927), who is buried at Liberty UMC beside Morgan School. Many of us are related to some of the great grandchildren of Peter Joseph Caldwell Lentz.

Everette Frick and Dixie Bonds are great grandchildren of Peter Joseph Caldwell Lentz, as is Ralph Walton from the class of 1960. I'm not a descendent of Peter Joseph Caldwell Lentz myself, but Everette is a 2nd cousin, Dixie is a distant cousin, and Ralph's wife is a distant cousin. Everette Frick's mother was a granddaughter of Peter Joseph Caldwell Lentz, and she married my grandfather's brother.

If any of the rest of you have a connection to Peter Joseph Caldwell Lentz, please let me know.
