Classification: Query
I am looking for any descendant or family member of Charles Hermann Witt, born on March 26, 1830 in Hamburg, Germany. During the American Civil War he enlisted in Company E, 1st Washington Territory Infantry in June 1862. He obtained a discharge on April 18, 1865. After migrating to Australia Charles became a naturalized Australian in 1902 and received a veteran’s pension. Charles and his wife Anne had seven children born to them between 1873 and 1884; Violet May was born in 1878, Ada Annie in 1879 and Charles Hermann in 1881. Charles Hermann Witt died at the age of 96 years and 6 months; on September 26, 1924 and was buried in the Church of England Cemetery in East Maitland, in an unmarked grave. To acquire a marker for his grave I need to make contact with any direct or indirect descendant or family member. With their request a marker can be acquired at no cost. jamesmgray@bigpond.com
