Children of Johann Zentz and Catharine (unknown):
Notes:
I'm not sure I have this Peter correct.
There definitely was a Peter Zentz in Baltimore Co after this Peter's father died. And there also was
definitely a Peter Zentz in York Co PA of about the same age.
Christian Zentz, brother of this Peter's father, also had a son Peter. Which one moved to PA?
I think the one who stayed was Christian's son for two reasons.
Others of the children of the older Peter moved to PA, though they were in Huntingdon and Washington Cos.
A record establishing a road in Baltimore Co in 1809 refers to "Peter Zentz of Christian".

1810 census York Co PA p170
Peter Sence 1 M 10-16, 2 M 16-26, 1 F 16-26, 1 F 45+
[The writing is close together so it's hard to tell, but I don't see a male 45+ in the household.]
Is this him? [doesn't match very well]
1800 census York Co PA p1330
Peter Bentz 2 M <10, 1 M 26-45, 2 F <10, 2 F 10-16, 1 F 26-45
[Jacob 6, John 14, Peter 15, Peter 34, Catherine 9, Maria 11, Catharine 30]
A little further down on the same page are Jacob Zen and Jacob Zen Jr.
1790 census York Co PA p359
Petter Sence 1 M 16+, 2 M <16, 2 F
[Peter 24, Peter 5, John 4, Catherine 20, Maria 1]
On p357 is Petter Sentz 1 M 16+, 2 M <16, 1 F. The only difference is the number of females. This Peter
had a daughter in 1788, so he must be the family with two females.
