Jacob Walters was born in 1758 and died in 1834, he was the founder of a town called Waltersville which bordered Duncansville (Pa) the two towns grew together and Walters and Duncan got together and flipped a coin over a bridge in a great town celebration to see what the town should thereafter be called, fate decided the town should be namedDuncansville. There is a book called "A Toss of a Coin, the History of Duncansville" written and published by the Duncansville Genealogy assoc. that verifies this as well as a 11 page document at the Claysburg Library in Pa.written by Paul Schalles called "David Walters Family Genealogy" that verifies that David's father was Jacob and all the other information. Jacob was married three times two were to Catherines (no last names) Third wife was Elizabeth Miller. David's mother was a Catherine. The Toss of a Coin book states that Jacob's father was another David, but no dates or birth origin. I have Jacob's children's names (Sophia, Catherine, Susan, Lydia, David, John, Christeen, Elizabeth, Mary, and Margaret) and also David's children's names (Joseph, John, David Samuel, Jacob A., Mary Elizabeth, William Henry, Sophia, George, Clara, Robert and Benjamin)Any further info or details I can help with, email me.
