His parents are unknown - some trees show him the son of another Balthasar and Maria Elizabeth, but there's no documentation, no record, nothing at all, to show such a relationship. Probably a mixup of Balthasar and his wife that ended up showing his parents having the same names.

His name was not "Pauly." That error is the result of an early mis-transcription of his name on the "Adventure" ship's list, posted to Rootsweb long ago by someone, that has been copied and repeated in several trees and histories.

He had no daughter named Sarah.

His exact dates of birth and death are unknown; they are nowhere recorded.

Oh, and he wasn't a Quaker.
