  • Notes 
    • Joseph made experiments with threshing machines powered by water. After his sons fell into debt, Joseph had to sell his farm Stuppacherhof (previously owned by Jakob Dettweiler) to pay the debt of his sons. He was a broken man and died in 1851.

      Tenant on Kirschbacherhof and Monbijou, preacher of the Zweibrücken congregation. Lived on Ottenweierhof in 1822.

      The Kirschbacher Hof was reconstructed and after 1822 was again leased to the Stalters who were still living in the Zweibrücken region. Joseph Stalter was for a time a leaseholder on the Kirschbacher Hof. For a time he was owner of an estate Stubbach Hof. In 1835 he moved to the “Montbijou” estate and gave the lease of the Kirschbacher Hof to both of his sons, Joseph and Johannes.

      Joseph Stalter was a respected preacher of the Amish congregation., [5, 6, 7, 8]
