Source: Michael Jewel 17 Mar 2015 Attached is some information on our von Buchenroeder ancestors which I've just sent to Deon [Gideon Knobel]. I have it largely from Roland Buchenroeder of Erfurt, a distant cousin, since deceased, whom I met about 13 years ago. It is a fine tale, complete with ghost stories, scandalous affairs, family feuds and bloody adventures. Ghost stories aside, I think it is all true, although Roland did not specify the sources of his information in any detail. This is my summary of Roland's materials, which were in German, together with some additional material which I found on the internet regarding the Baron's activities in South America.

11 Gustav Wilhelm. He was the ancestor of Roland and Christel. He was a soldier in the service of Hessen-Darmstadt. This was the Bromhof branch of the family. He had two illegitimate sons, one of whom was Johann Friedrich Wilhelm. They were adopted by their uncle Johann Michael who represented their interests in the quarrels with the von Heyles faction. Their descendant, General WGF von Buchenroeder, was in the service of the Grossherzogtum Hessen. He rose through his innovations in signalling. This part of the family was settled at Butzbach.
