Adam Mints

I am speculating that this is William A. Mints' father. it could be another relative the age of his father.

No. 10. A small plantation in Hopewell township, adjoining lands of Jonathan Smalley and Adam Mintz, containing about 30 acres, on which is a log welling-house and frame barn, late the property of Jacob Hall.
