On 1837-07-18 he bought from his wife's sister Mary and her husband Jonathan Pearson for $100
her 1/10 share of Henry Welker's land in Stark Co OH.

1840 census Stark Co OH p13b, Sandy twp
George Zentz (looks like Lentz) 1 M <5, 1 M 20-30, 1 F 20-30
[Henry 4, George 28, Elizabeth 28]
[Sandy twp is the southeast corner of the county, immediately west of the notch. It contains the town
of Waynesburg.]
The 1830 census has Adam Zentz and John Zentz in Stark Co OH, and Philip Zentz in Washington Co PA. They are probably Jacob's nephews or brothers. Where is George?
Adam is 30-40, and has a male 20-30 living with him. Is that George?
