Margaret Waltman

Notes:

The Waltman Family of Northampton County, By Neil A. Boyer, 12 Jun 2009

Margaret Waltman married John Yonce (or Yunt or Younce), who had been born in Germany, a son of Melchior Yunt. LaMance said she was one of twins, born in 1738 on Christmas Day, just after Conrad arrived in America. Other genealogists have offered different dates for the birth of the twins. However, if their brother Valentine was born much earlier, before the trans-Atlantic trip in 1738, the twins might also have been born earlier and traveled to America with their parents. Reportedly, Margaret and John had eight children. LaMance said Margaret?s husband and sons served in the Revolutionary War. The family lived in Lancaster County and later in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. A handwritten note in LaMance?s book said John Yonce died in 1812 at the age of 97. Margaret reportedly died in Dauphin County in 1815.

Family/Spouse: John Yonce. John (son of Melchoir Yant) was born about 1725; died in 1812 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
