Biography
There was a Martin Waltz seen arriving 09Sep1750 at Baltimore. The Christina Waltz shown in the Orphans Court records is probably the Christine Miller that married Martin Waltz at the Trinity Lutheran Church at Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 07Jan1753. This would mean that both Conrad and Martin were the children of a different wife that may have died in Germany or on the voyage over. Jacob Waltz' obituary states, "His grandparents came from Germany in the early days of the settlement of this country", indicating that Conrad was born in Germany. This would suggest that the Martin Wals that arrived in 1738 was not Conrad's father (or Jacob's great-grandfather).
Notes
There have been many other websites that list additional children born between 1750-1757 for Martin Waltz. None of these children are listed in the Orphans Court records, therefore they probably do not belong to this Martin Walz.
Estimated Birth Date
Birth date is estimated based upon birth date of oldest known child Conrad Waltz (abt.1739-bef.1830). 1739 - 20 = 1719.
