Descendants of Johann Georg Wahl

Generation No. 1

1. JOHANN GEORG¹ WAHL was born October 26, 1828 in Oberkerken, Wurttemberg, Germany, and died March 26, 1912 in New Braunfels, Comal Co, TX. He married WILHELMINE MAGNUS February 04, 1860 in New Braunfels, Comal Co, Tx, daughter of JOHANNES MAGNUS and KATHERINA WETZ.

Notes for JOHANN GEORG WAHL:
According to the 1900 census, George was a farmer and owned farm # 42 in Comal County and it was financed. He was married to Wilhelmine . It showed that he was 71 and his wife 56. They had 13 children, 11 of whom were still living at the time of the census. This information was provided by my cousin John W. Wahl during a conversation on April 11, 1998.

I had previously looked at the 1910 census for Comal County and wrote down information on a J.G. WAHL who was 81 and his wife Wilhelmine 66. They had been married for 50 years then. It also shows that he immigrated in 1846 although the 1900 census shows 1847, and she immigrated in 1858. They lived on N. San Antonio Road. They were both born in Germany as were their parents. From this information, I have assumed that the Georg WAHL listed in 1900 and the J.G. (Johann Georg) WAHL listed in the 1910 census are one and the same. The 1910 census also showed that Wilhelmine had 13 children of which 11 were still living at the time for the census.

The following information was taken from a reference in the Bremer Book and provided by Wanda Qualls of New Braunfels. " Johann Georg Wahl arrived in Texas circa 1846. He may not have traveled directly to Texas as his name is missing from any of the ship lists." Wilhelmine Magnus born circa 1845 Offenbach married February 4, 1860 to Johann George Wall born circa 1825 Oberkerken Wurttenberg. Wanda states the following in reference to census reports, " I didn't find him in the 1870 Census in 1880 I found Johann Wahl 52, Wilhelmine 35, Katherine 19, Heinrich 15, Adolph 13, Friederick 11, August 9, Caroline 6, Louise 4, Hermann 2, and Otto 5 mo. In 1900 I found George Wahl 10/1828; Wilhelmina 12/1844; Rudolph 4/1881; and Meda 11/1885. I will check the marriage records and see if there is anything there." Thank you Wanda for all the information. Please notice the many different way that Georg's name was listed. Of the 13 children that they had, 11 of them are accounted for here.

Georg and his wife Wilhelmine Magnus are buried at the New Braunfels Cemetery as listed in the "Cemeteries of New Braunfels in Comal County, Texas" page 176. Next to them is Albert H. Koepp and on the other side is Edna Jentsch, Milton Reininger, John Hildebrandt and his wife Louise

** As a note, I was told that there is a WAHL Cemetery in Comal County. Wanda Qualls did verify that there was a WAHL cemetery there but that there is a reference in the Family Footsteps that states "The entire family listed in the Wahl Cemetery has been reinterred in the Bracken Community Cemetery in 1994. Mrs. Mildred Wordenbaum of New Braunfels furnished the information. I was told that the Wahl's in this cemetery were those of the Phillip Wahl family which is no relation (assumed) to the Johann Georg Wahl family, at least not at this time.

Notes for WILHELMINE MAGNUS:
Wilhelmine was 55 at the time of the 1900 Comal County census. She had 13 children of which 11 were still living at the time of the Census. See the note on Johann Georg Wahl for all information on Wilhelmine. She is buried at the New Braunfels Cemetery in New Braunfels, Comal County, Texas next to her husband Johann Georg Wahl.
