Further Clues about the Walter Family
Heinrich is likely related to Hartmann Walter, who arrived with his family aboard the same ship as Heinrich and his family and he settled in Göbel on the same day as Heinrich. Hartmann was born about 1731, perhaps in Schlierbach, and married Gertrude Fuchs. He served as a Beisitzer (vice mayor) of the colony.

Germany, married Eva Vierheilig. Wife: Eva Vierheilig, b. abt. 1752, m. 1) Konrad Lipp. |
