It is extremely unlikely he would have both been born in Germany in 1728/1729 and had a father who immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1727.

I don't have any immigration date for Walter-1179 in my records, and I don't see one on WikiTree. Where are you finding a 1727 immigration date?

Walter-1178 and Walter-2742 appear to represent the same person because: Same person except for a year difference in birth date.
