Frederick Foltz: Born - About 1828 in Bavaria, Germany

Married -  ??

Died - between 1880 and 1890 in Schuykill County, PA (probably Shenandoah city)

I have a ships passenger list that someone from the Mercer County Historical Society printed out, but forgot to put the date on it. If correct, Frederick came to the US from Germany at age 19. They list him as a famer. The date, if it's the right Frederick Foltz, should be about 1851.^[2]
