The following information about Johannes Wahl was sent to me by email from,

JILL HOPKINS

Johannes Wahl was born in Germany in 1725.

He came to Philadelphia aboard the ship Fane in 1749 and took the Oath of Allegiance to the King and Pennsylvania.
From there he moved to York, Pa. where he owned land, livestock and a distillery.
He married in York in 1760 Anna Maria Kuntzer, daughter of Jacobe Kuntzer.
Toward the end of the Revolutionary War they Anglicized their name to Wall and moved to Baltimore, MD. taking a house on Howard Street (between Fayette and Baltimore).
John Wall was Overseer of the Poor in York Co. and in 1768 was Supervisor of the Highways.
In Baltimore he became a leader in the Otterbein German Evangelical and Reformed Church. He died in Baltimore in 1805 and he and his wife are buried in Greenmount Cemetery.
Anna Maria Kuntzer (sometimes spelled Kinser, Kuentzer, etc.) was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania about 1738.
She moved to York, PA with her parents; her father had already died when she married.
She Anglicized her name to Mary Wall. She and "John" Wall had 13 children, and seven of them accompanied their parents to Baltimore.
Those children were:
John,Jr.,
George,- Note: 1. Italicized "George" is our line.
Jacob,
William Michael,
Anna Maria, - Anna Maria (Kuntzer) Wall died in Baltimore in 1830 and is buried beside her husband. - Note: 2. Pennsylvania genealogy records use the spelling "Kuntz".
Catherine
Susanna.

I have a 'blurb' of info. on Jacob. But for George, descends to present.
