Hans Martin Walk or Volck, Sr. Wallach?

• Biography*: Moravian. Naturalized in Culpepper County, VA in 1745.
  
  Daniel Rupp, Thirty Thousand Names of ... Immigrants in PA. Pages 57, 58. He set sail from Rotterdam, Holland, on the English ship James Goodwell on 15 Jun., 1728, bound for America. After a voyage of four months, he arrived at Philadelphia, PA, on 11 Sep., 1728. With him was Has Martin Valck, perhaps a brother, cousin, or maybe, his father. About 1734, after serving a period of "indenture" of from three to six years as a bond servant to pay his transatlantic passage, he became a part of one of the first southward migrations of "Pennsylvania Dutch", as German settlers such as he came to be called, down the great wagon road from PA, through the "Great" or Shenandoah Valley of VA, and eventually down into the Carolina. Martin Walk settled in what is now the northern part of Madison County, VA. There he joined a German colony at the foot of the "Great Mountains" on the Rappahannock River that dated from 1725. He married Catherine, daughter of a wealthy German planter and slave holder, Michael Clore /Clawr/Klor,Glor, who had emigrated to VA in 1717. Michael Clore was one of the most prominent men in his community and a pillar in the Lutheran Church. The wedding took place before 19 May, 1735. On that date Michael Clore sold 100 acres of his 698 acre grant obtained in 1728 to "Martin Wallick". On 20 Jul., 1736, Martin Walk and Tobias Wilhide did jointly take up... survey, [and patent] 400 acres of land in Great Fork of Rappahannock River in [what was then] Orange County, VA.
  
  In Sep., 1748 Tobias Wilhide and Martin Walk divided their land into two parts and Martin Walk and Catherne Walk sold their 200 acres to Michael Yeager. However, the Walks retained other lands in the area until much later. Martin Walk moved to Rowan County, NC about the death of his wife. His name appears in Rowan County records on 11 Jul., 1754, when he was a joint bondsmen with Daniel Garrett in a lawsuit. By Jan., 1756, Martin Walk, Sr. had purchased 165 acres of land in the area and was well on his way to becoming a prominent member of his community.
  
  In 1778, at the beginning of the American Revolution, Martin Wallox [Walk] took an oath of allegiance to the state of NC. His son, Martin Walk, Jr., was one of the "nonjurors" not taking the oath at that time. Later during the War, Martin Walk received a "pay voucher" from the state. This could have been for military service or for supplying provisions to state troops. However, it is not clear whether this was Martin Walk, Sr. or Martin Walk, Jr.
  
  Martin Walk, Sr. and Catharine Walk sold their remaining lands in VA in 1782.
  
  On 8 Feb., 1785, the Will of Martin Wollox was probated in Rowan County, NC. No wife was mentioned. Peter Fry, his son-in-law, and Solomon Walk were appointed as administrators of his estate.
