      From the May 1845 term of the Van Wert County Common Pleas Journal, vol. A, 1837-1847, p. 233:
      “In the matter of Henry Showalter an alien
      Henry Showalter an alien a native of Germany comes and makes application for final naturalization setting forth that he came into the United States under the age of sixteen years and the Court having been satisfied from the testimony of Peter Heart and Martin Showalter that the said Henry Showalter has resided within the limits of the United States and that he was under the age of sixteen years when he came in to the United States; the said Henry Showalter was therefore sworn to support the Constitution of the United States and that he did absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state and sovereignty whatever and particularly to Louis Joseph Charles King of Bavaria and was admitted a citizen of the United States.”
