RE: Walter: >From my family records, I believe my Great Grandmother was Anna Elisabeth Walter who married Christian Wiederspahn. They left Colony Walter in about 1830 or 1850 for the Caucasus where my Grandmother, Katherine Margaret Wiederspahn  born 10/1879  & married Jacob Hofferber born 7/1879 in both in Bethany, aka Bethanien, in Russian Konstantinovka. We may have a connection, I will try to email you what I have, but, I'll be out of town for about 10 days. You may have to remind me sometime after the 25th. Meanwhile, I think there is a Colony Walter site on Facebook. So far, I have not found any surname Walter that I can connect to. But, it's certainly a possibility from what you have said.
