♀Anna Maria Kuntz

Dates not yet known.

Anna Maria Kuntz was the wife of Felix Kuntz, a Lutheran of Edenkoben and Gleisweiler in the Palatinate, and the mother of at least five children baptised between 1700 and 1718. She was the fifth great-grandmother of Ora Emogene Walrath (1925–2014) by two separate lines of descent, both through her son Johann Heinrich Kuntz (1718–1795).

Her maiden name is not known. The church books name her only as Anna Maria, the mother of Anna Barbara (baptized at Edenkoben in 1700), Anna Margaretha (1710) and Philipp Jacob (1713), both also at Edenkoben, and of Johann Jacob (1716) and Johann Heinrich (1718), baptized at Gleisweiler. Her husband was buried at Gleisweiler in 1737; whether she was then still living is not known, and no record of her death has been found.

Lines of descent

Both of her lines of descent to Ora Emogene Walrath run through her son Johann Heinrich Kuntz, Johann Heinrich’s son Lorentz Kuntz (1752–1838) and Lorentz’s son John Kunz (1786–1865), and divide in the generation after that, between John’s sons Samuel Kunz (1825–1904) and Jacob John Kunz (1814–1866). That Johann Heinrich was Lorentz’s father is a link the records have not settled. John Kunz’s own will, made in 1864, names Jacob among “three of my sons” appointed his executors. The lines meet again when Thomas Koons married Magdalena M. Koons on 24 December 1876 in Henry County, Indiana, both then being descendants of Anna Maria Kuntz. Their daughter Mary Magdalene Koons (1885–1977) was Ora Emogene Walrath’s mother.
