It is believed that Frederick Walter, born in 1767, immigrated to America from Hunsrueck, Dribucka, Germany. He settled in Somerset Co., PA and married Elizabeth Barndt, daughter of Nicholas Barndt, a prominent pioneer farmer, who resided in Brothersvalley, Somerset Co., PA. Legal records name Frederick in the 1798 muster roll of the Brothersvalley Milita of Somerset Co., PA. He died in 1853 in Somerset Co., PA
I am most grateful to Gladys Tolbert who has done most of the research on the Walters family. She has spent many years researching and compiling the information. It is through her dedication and generosity that we can share this family history.
