<<I just received a marriage record from November 1858 which was signed by "Geo. W. Wall, Minister of the Gospel." I assume he was a Lutheran minister. >> In Genealogy it is best not to assume. George Wendelin Wall was a charter member of the Kirchenverein. These churches are often referred to as German Evangelical. You would most likely look for the records in present day UCC churches. There is a St. Marcus UCC church-earliest records 1843. Good luck!
