Johann Georg1 Bentz (JohannesA Bentz) was baptized 16 May 1697 in the Reformed Church at Iggelheim, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany, the son of Johannes and Susannah (_____) Bentz.1 He married Anna Barbara Bullinger 29 Aug. 1719 at Iggelheim. She was baptized 27 Apr. 1698 in Iggelheim, the daughter of Jacob Bullinger and Anna Katherina Weber.2 Johann Georg Bentz almost certainly was the Georg Bentz who came to Philadelphia on the ship Phoenix, arriving 15 Sep. 1749. Although his name is recorded among the passengers of that ship, no later record of him has been located. Perhaps he soon died or he lived unrecorded with one of his sons who also came on the Phoenix. Because the names of women passengers are not recorded, it is not known if his wife accompanied him. It is possible she died before the voyage but a study of the registers of the Reformed Church of Iggelheim did not locate a death or burial record for her.
