I do have an Anna Maria Wilt in my research info, however she lived in the mid to late 1600s.She married Hans Henrich Wild and her maiden name was Abegge.Her son, Valentine Wilt was the propogator of many of the Wilts that live in the United States currently.
I am wondering if maybe your Anna Maria and my Anna Maria are related distantly or maybe generationally. There is no evidence that I have found, and I have since found quite a bit since my original positing, that Hans Henrich Wild ever left Germany.Perhaps Valentine had a brother that I am as yet unaware of and he carried on his mother's name which was passed on again and again?This might help you or it may not, but I thought I would let you know.If you have any information to this end I would definitely be interested in receiving it because I would like to fill out my family tree as much as possible, and if Valentine, the propogator of the primary Wilt line in America had siblings that remained in Germany that would be of interest, or even cousins, really.
Let me know if you find anything.
