Biography

Tobias' estate records prove she was alive on 15 July 1762.^[1]

Research Notes

Her parents were originally given as Hans Martin Walk and Catherine Clore; however, she is far too old to be their child. I've disconnected them and additional research needs to be done to determine who her parents were. -- Fiscus-32 16:20, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
