Half sister to Sabrina Buchs, wife of Martin Driesbach and Magdelena Buchs who married Jacob Dreisbach. Mary's son Conrad writes a letter to his cousin George Books(Buchs) in 1816. The letter is listed below.

There is a John Bingaman who leaves household goods to Jacob Metzger and his wife in 1803/7 Ross co, Ohio. This could be Mary's father giving her her inheritance when he dies. Or a grandfather who moved to Ohio with them. I have checked with the Jacob Medsker family of the area and the Bingaman does not belong to that family. "Deed Book T, Ross Co, Ohio This day I do hereby bequeath unto Jacob Metzger, seven head of horses and four milk cows and three head of young cattle and seven head of hogg and one set of little tubs and still and all the utensials and notes and bonds to the amount of 200 dollars and 8 acres of corn and one acre of flax potatoes and cabbage bed and beded and all my kitchen furniture and all the above mentioned property I have bequeathed unto said Metzger 36-47 dollars in hand paid in presence of us this 2nd day of July 1807 and all book accounts then. Given under my hand and seal. John Bingeman" (Is this Mary's father) Or she could be a daughter of Joahann George Buch and his second Unknown wife. Both families were in the Dreisbach church together in Berks Co, Pa and also in New Jersey together.

I have 26 acres of wheat now on shucks, one field 12 acres it has 655 dozen on the other is not counted as to give you an exanct account of it but is allowed it would turn off as much as the other.
