Notes for Michael Frantz
The marriage of "Michael Frantz to Susannah Niker" is listed on Vol.2, page 3, Early Marriage Bonds of Ohio.

The marriage of "Michael Frantz to Catherine Crist" is listed on Vol. 2, page 18, Early Marriage Bonds of Ohio.

This family is listed on pages 52-53 and 117 of Volume II, Early Clark County Families, entries submitted by Thomas J. Beardsley and Lela Shoup, according to which they moved to Clark County in 1823.
Census
1850 census of Clark County, Pike twp, page 131, enumerated 24 Aug, lists this family as:
Michael Frantz, 68, VA; Susannah, 48, VA; John, 25, OH; Lydia, 20, OH; Michael, 14, OH; Samuel, 13, OH; Anna, 10, OH; Jacob, 22, OH.
Jacob is possibly the husband of Lydia. He is not likely to be a son of Michael, because Michael's daughter Susannah (who had died earlier in 1850) was born in 1828, and besides, he is listed out of age order. The age for young Michael should be 15 if the birthdate on his gravestone is correct. The age for Lydia is consistent with the birthdate Thomas Beardsley lists for her of 22 Nov 1830, but not with the birthdate Dore M. Frantz lists for her of 22 May 1831.
Notes for Catherine ("Katie") Ohmart
Page 81 of Early Ohio Marriage Bonds lists the marriage of Catharine Ohmart to Jacob Christ, on 30 Mar 1826; original record in Book 1-B, 1821-1832.
