Dick Hillenbrand Dick asked me to write all I could about Walter, so just maybe someone could give me another avenue to search so as to locate Walter's father. Walter was one of three boys, he has a brother Hamilton and Samuel. Walter was born in 1810 in Delaware. He married Margaret Pritchard in Cumberland County, NJ in 1832. Walter and Margaret moved to Murderkill Hundred in Kent County, Delaware. Their first eight children were born there, the next two were born in Potter's Landing, Caroline county, Maryland. I have Walter in these locations ( census) 1850 and 1860 Potter's Landing, Caroline County, Maryland 1870-1880 Philadelphia He died in 1899 in Camden, NJ. I have the newspaper ( copy) of obit. Walter was a * captain* ( sea) mentioned also in obit. His kids were born from 1833 to 1859. On his brothers, a * cousin* found me, that has Hamilton and I have that information, but not a thing on Samuel. I have tried using his brother's names as possible names for their father, but no luck so far. So Dick and all others do you have any other suggestions on how I can find his father? Thanks for this suggestion Dick.
