I meant Walter family. Jacob Walters and the Rudolph Walter family are not related. The book in the Claysburg library was written by a cousin, now deceased and it is in detail. I am in the middle of a remodel or I would have that info on hand, right now I can only remember the cousin who wrote the book first name was Paul. I need valid info about Jacob Walters, what country he came from and when. I know he was born in 1758. I know he was a surveyor, I know he fought in the Rev war. I know when he died, I know his children's names. I am generations apart from cousins who may be related. The Walters did not have a lot of sons with the Walters name. My father was the last born in his family and I was the last born daughter of his. I may be the only one who cares about Jacob at this point. I don't even think the Leighty family know they are related to Walters and two Walters daughters married Leighty's. Please don't send me any more Claysburg Walter info, that would be my Mom's side who was a Ritchey etc. and I have enough info on all of them. That family unequivocally has nothing to do with Jacob Walters. Susan Powers wrote: > It's been proven over and over that Jacob is not from the Water family > from Claysburg/Bedford. Trust me.
