Waldraven Family
First Generation
The Waldraven or Wallraven family first appears in Stokes Co. NC in the 1810 census, with the family of Alexander Wallraven, who is himself between 26 and 45 years old, with wife in the same age bracket, and a son and two daughters under age 10. We suspect that the son is John H. Waldraven, b. 1808, who married Maria Salome Schaub (1814-1867) in 1836. Another likely son, William R. Waldraven (1810-1880), married Maria Susannah Holder (1812-1879) in 1835. They first appear in the Moravian records in 1840, when their infant son Junius was baptized in Pfafftown. Both are buried at Bethania Moravian Church. A third likely son, George Alexander Waldraven, was born in 1818. Undocumented notes from a gedcom retrieved from the now-defunct "Sharing" database identify him as the possible father of three children by an unmarried woman, Elizabeth Henning (ca. 1819-1846). Is Alexander the "A. Waldriven" buried at Doub's Chapel Methodist church, old cemetery, with no dates? Louisa Waldraven, who married Elijah Church, is probably one of Alexander's daughters. Who were the others?
