Walter, one of the ancestors of the Ohmstal family, was, like his father, a jury member, i.e. a member of the court, and a long-time official father, i.e. a poor man. In 1696 he married Magdalena Marbach of Krummbach, who gave him four sons and five daughters. The Marbach were a respected and well-to-do farming family, they donated the still existing splendid chapel in Krummbach. Walter's second marriage to Elisabeth Erni remained childless. Only two of his four sons grew up: Adam (* 1699, t1763, m. 1. Barb. Wolf, 03 II. Barb. Ziswiler) and Joseph (* February 17, 1719, t February 28, 1766, m. 1743 Anna Maria Grossmann). |
