General Notes: Husband - Philip Walter


He was a native of The Old Dominion state, coming thence with his wife, also born there, to Beaver Run, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer by occupation, cultivating two hundred acres of land, and also profited by teaming from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, using a Conestoga wagon to carry his loads. His industry brought him gratifying financial returns, and at his death, aged about sixty-two years, the fruits of his active life were the goodly inheritance he bequeathed to his family.

The Walter family very early settled on the farm in Salem township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, later owned by J. Moats, where the old Walter mill was the first one built in that region.

He came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, to Westmoreland County, settling in Salem township. [HWC 1906, 575]

The year after the birth of his oldest son, John, he and his father-in-law, Balser Trout, removed to the Branthoover farm, which they leased for nine years. At the expiration of this lease he purchased the farm (just east of the Moats farm) later owned by his son George.
