     Walter Tuers was born at San Francisco, CA.¹ He died on 2 January 1898 at San Francisco, CA.^2,1

     Walter Tuers was born on 31 May 1813 at Hoboken, NJ.² He was baptized on 27 May 1814.³ He (1) married Ann Van Winkle (maybe.) Walter Tuers (2) married Julia Esther Stevens. Walter Tuers died on 8 September 1909 at Bethel, MI, at the home of Cyrus Tuers.⁴

     The 1860 census lists Walter Tuers and Julia at Coldwater, Branch County, MI, with Cornelius Tuers, Emmaline Tuers, Cyrus Tuers and Viola Tuers. Cornelius is listed as Cornelia (12 yo male) en Alford is not listed; instead there is Jane (11 yo female.)⁵ Walter Tuers was a farmer in 1860, and a shoemaker.⁶ The 1900 census listed Walter Tuers in Cyrus William and Ruth C Stevens's household.⁷
     Cannot confirm Walter as child, however, his gg grandson, Earl Tuers, Jr. notes that family records indicate two brothers - Joseph and John (?). These names appear to correlate with this family. We welcome correction of this record when source records are made available.
     The family oral history has it that Walter had three sons all killed at Gettysburg, and therefore he moved west to start anew. We have reviewed all of the New Jersey Civil War recorded records for this family, and cannot confirm this as historically accurate. We believe that the name of Walter's first wife might be Ann Van Winkle since we hold the record for the marriage of Adeline Tuers, daughter of Walter Tuers and Ann Van Winkle in Oakville MI in 1857 to John Wesley Thurston. The record indicates that Walter is from Newark, NJ and that Adeline was born in New York in 1836. We welcome any information that would clarify this mystery.
     In the 1860 Census, Jane, age 11 and in the 1870 Census, Jane, age 21 is shown living in the household. In the 1870 Census, probably Alvin Bonner, who married 1870 Emeline Sophronia Tuers - is shown as a farm laborer, age 23, living in the household.
