Mentions in his Will:
Sarah, wife
Solomon, eldest son (deceased)
Hannah (Dewald) Miller, dau [b. 16 Feb 1816 m. Solomon]
Henry Dewald, son [b. 9 Oct 1819]
Levina (Dewald) Kline, dau [b. 31 Aug 1821]
Aaron Dewald, son [b. 1829]
Joel Dewald, son [b. 1834]
Edwin Dewald [b. ?] d. 1884 spouse, Martha

This Will was written 19 Jul 1867 and proved 13 Sep 1867. His first request/order of business was for his burial and marker be provided before any other business of monies; there should be a memorial at a cemetery in Rehrersburg. Aaron and Joel were admins for his Will, and obviously didn't push for monies owed by Solomon to their father. Solomon's widow was able to provide a very nice coffin and and services for her spouse, but was left with several children with births ranging from 1842-1855. Edwin may have been John Edwin Dewald, but regardless, I can only find information for him on Henry's Will with an additional statement made 3 Sep 1888 of his decease, his wife's name, and they did not have children.

Note: Henry Dewald's death rec states his mother's maiden name is "Cake".
