Hi Marieda
This is Norma Aultz Lunsford.We have emailed and I met you at the Archives in Charleston once.
I descend from Solomon who married Mary Derrick.
Adam Als/Alts/Altz/Aultz was born abt 1756 in Germany.He married Elizabeth in 1779in Lancaster Co., PA.I have their children as:
1. Mary Altz m: Benjamin Wells(may have been born in PA)
2. Katherine, b: 1786 Rockingham Co., VA m: Moses Kelly 1807
3. Adam b: 22 Jun 1791 Rockingham Co.VA m: Martha Samuels
4. Susanana Rachel b:1793Rockingham Co. VA m:Isaac Asburyaft 1810
5.Elizabeth b: 1796 Rockingham Co., VA m: Henry Spencer
6.Solomon b: 23 Jan 1797 Rockingham Co., VA, m: Mary Derrick.
I am not very secure with the information being passed around that Adam's middle initial was a B.I think it was picked up in error from the b: that stood for born.
I do not have sources for all the information, but am working on getting it.Can't seem to find info from Rockingham Co. as of yet. Hope to learn where Adam was from in Germany.He came over on the Ship "Tyger"on 11-19-1771.He was in the Revoluntionary War.He stayed in Philadelphia with Michael Als, relationship unknown.
The "u" was added to Alts/Altz by Adams Grandsons who became Doctors and changed the name.That is one story I have heard.
I have more info.Let me know what you may want.
Would love to plan and have a Aultz Family reunion in the Charleston area.I am learning how now.If you or any one you know who would like to attend an Aultz Reunion, please send me their email and/or snail mail so I can send an invitation when the date is set.
