QUICKELíS CHURCH, where Peter Bentz and and his wife Mary
Humrichhausen [Subjects of this page] are buried, and where baptism of
some of their children
can be found is located at the intersection of Canal Road and
the Susquehanna Trail, southwest of Dover and west of York.
Quickel Evangelical Lutheran Church

Conewago Twp, York Co., PA.
This Church was founded by and placed on land donated by Michael
Quickel., grandfather in law to Michael BENTZ [married Anna
Quickel,] . Michael Bentz was
Peter and Mary Humrichhausen BENTZ's son .
Footnote 2:
"In 1770, that area which stretches from the top of the Conewago
Hills to the Big Conewago Creek, was added to Dover Township from
Warrington Township. The Big Conewago Creek forms its present western
boundary line. Then, in 1818, Dover residents east of the
Bull Road petitioned the York County Courts to form a new township
known as Conewago Township. About two-thirds of this new
township came from Dover Township and one-third from Newberry Township.
It is this line along the Bull Road, delineated in 1818,
which forms the present eastern boundary of the township. The northern
boundary is formed where the eastern and western
boundaries of Dover Township meet. The southern boundary consists of
a line which originally separated Dover Township from
Paradise Township. Today, it separates Dover Township from both Paradise
and Jackson Townships. Jackson Township was an offspring
of the original Paradise Township. The southeastern boundary of Dover
Township is delineated by the Little Conewago Creek up to
the point where it meets the Bull Road" 88

Comments and substantiation for

Please be Aware that errors have been found
throughout this text, and the reader is encouraged to consult primary
data for substantiation of the details
herein. I have made notation of errors I have found, the first being that
John Bentz Hamme shows Peter Bentz, Mary Humerichhausen's husband, as a
son to Michael, who is in fact his older brother as evidenced by Baptismal
records of Rev Lischy.
According to Lishyís records, Peter was Hans Peter and a son of Johannes
and wife Maria Magdalena. 12
