In reference to John Henry Antes, the third son of Henry Antes, born 5 Ocotber 1736: "When Genesee County, New York, opened to settlers, in company with his brother William he acquired land grants there, tracts of fertile land that afterwards proved very profitable holdings. Leaving his brother to secure his rights he returned to his home on the Susquehanna, nearly opposite the mouth of Pine Creek and near the outlet of Major (Jacob) Antes Gap."
This would explain the connection between the Pennsylvania and New York Anteses. 1475
