GREETINGS, ALL My immigrant Folkerth ancestor was Christopher Folkerth, who landed in Phildelphia in 1754 and then migrated to Maryland in about 1790, dying in Maryland in 1816. Christopher had a son, Henry, ( probably actually named Heironymus ) who was born prob in Pennsylvania but later lived and died in Maryland. Little is known of Henry; not even sure if he had children. Both father and son had wives named Margaret. I hate it when this happens ... I believe these folks lived in Frederick County, but my geography for that time is a bit fuzzy and it may have been Carroll ... so I'll take the chance and post here. The name was subject to creative spelling variations; it is sometimes seen as either Fulkerth or Fulker. I cheerfully accept any such variation as a 'possible'. Ol' Christopher also had four other sons who all settled in the Miami Valley of Ohio in the early 1800s and whose families are more well known by various researchers today. I'm interested in anything about Christopher and would like to learn about his son Henry, as well. DICK FOLKERTH Dallas, Texas
