Peter Wallover appears to be married to Sarah's sister Margaretha or Margaret. If Peter came to the U.S. on a ship when he was about 12 (1784 according to Elizabeth Drinker's journal), that means he was born about 1772.
Peter's son William is supposedly the person whom John Christopher Kartchner went into business with, a cousin of Prudence Wilcox*. This seems right, doesn't it, for the ages? That would put Peter Wallover about the same age as Christopher's father.
Therefore.. when Wm D. Kartchner says "a boy of ten summers" came from Germany ... couldn't it be plausible that he ("Adam Kirchner" we think) came to the U.S. the same way Peter Wallover did? And that Peter and Adam could have been friends? And now... what about Sarah's and Margaret's family? Could these Walton's be from Germany?)
*He would be a cousin because Sarah Walton married John Wilcox and Sarah's sister Margaret married Peter Wallover. My brain's diagram:
Christopher Kartchner<Adam Kirchner + Sarah Weber?
Prudence Wilcox<Sarah Walton + John Wilcox
William Wallover<Margaret Walton + Peter Wallover
