Biography
Valentin Alt (Other spellings are Vallentin Oult) was born in Altdorf, Uri, Switzerland in 1701. His father was Johann Peter Alt and female parent, Maria Catharina (Haener) Alt.
His birthplace Altdorf is the majuscule of the "Canton Uri", existence located in "deepest Switzerland", since 1291. Altdorf is all-time known as the place where, according to the legend, William Tell shot the apple from his son'due south caput. This act by tradition happened on the marketplace, where in 1895, at the foot of an old tower (with rude frescoes commemorating the feat), there was gear up a fine bronze statue (by Richard Kissling of Zürich) of Tell and his son. Valentine had long departed the region when this event took place. [i]
His married first wife Katerine Schnider, in 1733. They had two sons |Johann Adam Ault and |Jacob Ault both built-in in Germany.
The immigrant Valentin Alt arrived in Northward America in October of 1738, first setting foot on this continent in the port of Philadelphia. The send on which he sailed across the Atlantic, the Davy, was racked by death and disease on its voyage: 160 of the passengers (nearly half) died en route. The ship's helm and both mates were among the casualties, which made information technology necessary for the send'due south carpenter to bring her into port. Valentin Alt and two of his children survived the journey, but it is possible that other members of the family perished forth the way.
Valentin settled in the expanse of Falkner Swamp (at present in Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania) by early on 1744, and by that time had married his 2d wife, Maria Catharina Schmidt. She was born 1 Dec. 1722, and was the daughter of Martin and Anna Catharina Schmidt.
In February. 1755, Valentin advertised in a Philadelphia newspaper that his state in Falkner Swamp was for auction, and in April of that year his daughter Elizabeth was baptized in York Co., Pennsylvania, which indicates that the family had made their movement west.
Valentin Alt did not live long on his York County farm. He signed his will (as 'Valti", the diminutive of Valentin which non-Germans often transcribe as "Felty") on 18 July 1755, and it was brought to probate in York Co., ten Jan. 1756.
Viii of his children survived him.
