History From America's Most Famous Valleys
One Branch of the Walrod Family Tree
In the following record of our Walrath-Walrod family there are nine generations and, so it may be more readily followed, the different generations are shown under their respective numbers, in consecutive order.
FIRST GENERATIONGerhard or Henrich Wallerath
These two men are listed among the many Palatine refugees who landed at what is now New York, on June 13,1710 Historical data of the period of 1710 and on, contains numerous references to their activities. Although it cannot be proven, after many, many years of research, it seems at least probable that one of them is the common ancestor of most, if not all, of the Walraths or Walrods living in America today. For instance the following article appeared in the St. Johnsville (N.Y.) Enterprize (sic) and News, a well known genealogical publication, on April 4, 1934:
"The first Walrath in this country seems to have been Gerhard, who was one of the Palatines sent over by Queen about 1709-10 and who lived at the original settlement at East Camp, now Germantown, Columbia County N.Y. He seems to have been one of those who, dissatisfied with life at East Camp, removed to Schoharie.”
The Simmendinger Register shows that Gerhard had three children and that Henrich had two children and it is thought that one of these children was Jacob W. to whom our ancestry definitely can be traced.
SECOND GENERATION
Jacob W. Wallrath, born Feb. 21, 1723, died Feb. 1, 1790, married Magdalena Fox, born Dec. 16, 1726. Their children were Nicholas, Catharine, Margaretha, Isaac, Lea, Isaac, Rachel, Magdalena, Peter J ., Jonah, Amelia, Maria, Margaretha and Catherine.
It will be noted that there are two Isaacs in above list. In explanation of this it is probable that the first Isaac died and another child was given the same name, as seems to have been the custom in those days. This would apply, also, with the two named Margaretha and the two named Catharine.
There are many many families of Walraths and Walrods throughout the United States and Canada at the present time to whom our relationship cannot now be traced. One reason for this is that the following history is of the descendants of only one of the above named fourteen children of Jacob W., (the one exception to this is that three of the descendants of Peter J. are shown)
It is impossible, at this late date, to trace more than our own direct line. The second Isaac, listed above, was born in 1758 and may have been the Isaac Walrath who is listed among those who served in the Revolutionary war. And it is quite probable that his descendants are living in different parts of America by now. Also, who knows to what parts of the country the descendants of Peter J. and of Jonah, born in 1764 and 1766, may have scattered by now. We have a partial record of the descendants of Peter J. but none whatever of the descendants of Jonah. Some of the Walrods, now living in Iowa, in Nebraska, and Saskatchewan and in other places, to whom we are now unable to trace relationship, may be descendants of Peter J. or Jonah. We do not know.
THIRD GENERATION
The fourteen children of Jacob W. Wallrath, 1723,and Magdalena Fox:
1. Nicholas, born Mch. 3, 1750, at Stone Arabia, now Montgomery Co., N.Y., died in 1835, at Camillus, N.Y. Served in the war of the American Revolution, in the 2nd-regiment Tryon Co. Militia, under Colonel Jacob Klock. He afterward applied for, and was granted, a pension. Married Anna Barbara Shultz, born in 1750. Their Children were Jacob, Johannes, Hiram, Abraham, Nicholas, and George.
2. Catharine, born July 28, 1751. md. Geo. Failing.
3. Margaretha, born Oct.18, 1752 md. Nicholas Weiser.
4. Isaac, born Dec. 5, 1754, no further record.
5, Lea, born Oct. 26, 1756, no further record.
6. Isaac, born Mch. 17, 1758, no further record.
7. Rachel, born Sept. 3, 1760 no further record.
8. Magdalena, born Feb. 8, 1762, md. Wm. Stokes.
9. Peter J., born June 9, 1764, married Elizabeth Bander (Bauder). We have a partial record of the descendants of Peter J., and Elizabeth Bander but, since they are living mostly in the eastern states and are so distantly related to most of us, it is not shown. An interesting fact is that Mrs. Lois Branch, of East Springfield, N.Y. a grand-daughter of Peter J., is living today, at the age of ninety years. This is most remarkable. Mrs. Branch was born in 1851, her father, Jacob Walrath, was born in 1800 and her grandfather was born in 1764, a record not often equaled. Mrs. Frances E. Basinger-Smith, of 105 Elm Ave., Delmar, N.Y. and Mrs. Geo. Gray, of East Springfield, N.Y. descendants, also, of Peter J., are also worthy of mention among those interested in their family history. Mrs. Smith has long been recognized as a genealogical authority and Mrs. Gray published a "History of East Springfield”, the demand for which necessitated the printing of a second edition, with copies still available.
10. Jonah, born Feb 8, 1766, no further record
11. Amelia, born Sept. 29, 1767, married M. Franklin
12. Maria, born July 18, 1772, no further record
13. Margaretha, born Jan. 1, 1775, sponsors Isaac Walrath and Marie Shultz.
14. Catharine, born Jan. 28, 1778, sponsors, Johannes Shultz and Rachel Walrath.
The six children of Nicholas Walrath, 1750, and Anna Barbara Schultz
1. Jacob, probably born in 1776, married Margaret Braut. Their children were James, Catharine, Mary, John, Rachel, Abner, Leah and Abram.
2. Johannes, a. veteran of the War of 1812 born, Sept. 11, 1783, at German Flatts now Herkimer Ob_, N.Y. died April 9, 1856 and buried on a knoll to the north-east of the farm buildings on what is now known as the Donnegan farm on the DeWitt-Welton (Iowa) highway. This was then, and later, used as the family burial plot and Johannes, his wife Leah, and others of the family were buried here. Some time after the farm passed from hands of the Walrod family the burial plot was protected only by a fence and, later, even this fence was removed and all matks obliterated and it has now been farmed for about eighty years. Married Leah Bradt, born Mch 28, 1785, died Sept 21, 1845 in Welton, a relative of Caroline Van Buren Bradt, who was a sister of President Martin Van Buren. Their children were Maria, Lucia, David, Nicholas, John Henry, Abraham, Lucinda, John William, Celinda and Phylinda.
3. Hiram, born ____no further record.
4. Abraham a veteran of the war of 1812 born April 22, 1789, at German Flatts, N.Y., died August 1863 at the home of his son, John R., one mile south of Welton, and buried in the old. cemetery at DeWitt. Married Catharine (Caty) Redman born Nov. 11, 1791, died in 1842. Their children were Elizabeth, Michael, Benjamin, Nicholas N., John R., Abraham, Sarah, William, Sylvia, and James P.
5. Nicholas, a veteran of the War of 1812, born June 8, 1792 at Cherry Valley, N.Y., died Nov. 30, 1852 in Clinton Co., Iowa. Married Sarah (Sally) Redman (Caty and Sally Redman were sisters) born Nov. 27, 1794, died Sept. 11, 1851 and buried near their home farm south of De Witt. Their children were Catharine, John, Sarah, Anna, Margaret, Hiram, Elizabeth, Abraham, Nicholas, Richard, Emily and Jacob.
6. George, born June 2, 1796, no further record.
We have no record of the descendants of Hiram or of George, above, born around 150 years ago, the descendants of whom might be some of the Walrods listed at the back of this record, to whom we are now unable to trace relationship.
Since our history, from this point, is of the descendants of Jacob, Johannes, Abraham and Nicholas, who were four of the six sons of Nicholas, 1750, (as stated, we have no record of the descendants of the other two, Hiram and George) it seems advisable, to prevent confusion and to make our record more easily followed and understood, to show each of these four branches separately. The descendants of Jacob, therefore, from the fifth to the ninth generation, inclusive, will be shown first, followed by those of Johannes, Abraham and Nicholas.

UNIDENTIFIED WALRODS
We have been unable to trace relationship to any of the following Walrods. Correspondence is invited and any help in identifying them would be highly appreciated;
Fred O. Walrod , a veterinary surgeon, now living at Carnarvon, Iowa,
Geo. Walrod, a veterinary surgeon of storm Lake, Iowa,
Will Walrod,
Al and Ernest Walrod, farmers, who lived near Sac City, Ia. ,
C. O. Walrod, a veterinary surgeon, now living at Northside, Saskatchewan. The above are all related.
C. 0., now 53 years of age, is son of Fred O. Fred 0., George and Will were brothers. Al and Ernest were brothers, and cousins of Fred 0., George and Will. Jonas was father of Fred 0., George and Will.
The Silas Eugene Walrod family, now living at Fullerton, Nebraska, are also related to the above, but more distantly. Then there are two ladies, a Mrs. Minett and a Mrs. Whitke, now living in Clear Lake, Iowa, whose father was J. G. Walrod, formerly of Minneapolis or Milwaukee.
OUR ANCESTRY
To those of our big family, living today, in Iowa and in other states, who think we are of Dutch origin, rather than German, I would like to explain that I certainly have not tried to establish German ancestry, especially at the present time. I have merely tried to show the facts as they are, gleaned from the most reliable sources, and present available information certainly indicates that our forefathers came to America from Germany, through Holland. I am open to correction and proof to the contrary would be much appreciated.
July 4th, 1942. W. Bruce Walrod, Munson, Alberta, Canada.
