WORMOOD (possibly WORMWOOD): Peter (1800-18940), four of his children who
died in infancy, his wife Aphleda JANES and his mother Catherine
(Unknown) are buried in the Christ Church cemetary in Manlius. From
records I have come across, name is spelled WORMWOOD on grave markers but
obits show WORMOOD. (Have entered the obits onto the obit section on this
site.) His father was John WORMOOD (?-1832). Any knowledge of this
family prior to 1810 is needed. Family moved from Cherry Valley to
Manlius in 1807 but can find nothing on John or possibly even his
brothers Manlius and Peter. Appears this name could be from the same as
WERMUTH, WARMUTH, WOERMUTH all serving "Montgomery" county
during the Revolution which at that time would have included Cherry
Valley. One brother of John's was killed at Cherry Valley but cannot
locate any record of such.

I'm looking for any and all information on Peter WALTER. He
was born 1790, Otsego Co, NY. Married Nancy WALTERS about 1817.
Had a son, David WALTERS, born 1818 who married Betsey Ann DAVY,
born 1820. Peter, David, and Betsey Ann migrated to Cass Co, MI
about 1845. Settled in Dowagiac, MI. Apparently Nancy died
earlier as she did not go with them to MI. I believe Peter
WALTER'S father was Christian WALTER. He was found on the 1790
NY census, living in Otsego CO.
Any help I could get would be appreciated. TIA
