Original partly printed and partly hand-written, 1848 American Naturalzation Document, Baltimore, Maryland, concerning Walter Niphspont (Nephtpout?) originally of Hesse Darmstadt. (A German Immigrant) 

Seal of “CRIMINAL COURT OF BALTIMORE 1851” . 

I found a Nephont family in the 1850 census Baltimore Maryland. The names were Balser (Walter?) Nephont born about 1827 Germany, a baker. HIs wife was Margaret age 25 born Germany and daughter Henrietta 1 month old born Maryland. I don’t know if this is the same Walter as in the Naturalization Certificate
