MORE FROM LONG POINT SETTLERS WEBSITE:

The compiler R. Robert Mutrie is a descendant of both Matthias Boughner and his nephew Jacob Buchner through two different ancestral lines and has compiled original source information on the large family beginning in the seventeenth century Germany and running down to twentieth century North America. This is a five volume compilation totaling over 500 pages. The electronic volumes can be purchased individually sent by email for $19.95 each or the set of five volumes can be sent by email for $59.95, a savings of nearly $40.00. All genealogies begin with the German ancestor Merten Buchner (died 1694) who lived in Unnau, a village in the province of Nassau-Dillenburg. This is located in the northernmost part of the Westerwald Region of the present state of Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany and northeast of the city of Koblenz. The genealogy follows his family in the records of nearby Bad Marienberg Evangelical Church. Merten’s son Johan Bäst Buchner (baptized 1663) lived in Unnau, as did Merton’s grandson Johann Martin Buchner (baptized 1705), the immigrant ancestor to America.

Martin Buchner with his wife Elisabetha Maria Zehrüng and family emigrated to America on the snow Rowand landing in the Port of Philadelphia in 1753 then settled in Amwell Township, Morris (afterwards Sussex) County, New Jersey where Martin was a schoolmaster.

The genealogies then follow individual lines of Martin’s descendants. Each of the following listings is an individual volume.

Buchner, Johannes (John) (1729- ), son of son of Martin and Elisabetha Maria Zehrüng, settled on a farm in the area of Greensville in Amwell Township and was the father of ten children including Henry (1759-1842), Jacob (1763-1841), Daniel (c. 1766), Christopher (c. 1766-) and Peter Buchner (1770-1848) who came to Canada and are included in this genealogy. During the American Revolution, Henry and Jacob served in the Loyalist cause. The genealogy includes a detailed article of the Buchner family’s German origins, emigration to America, and services during the American Revolution. It then follows John Boughner’s ancestry and descendants of his Canadian children for five generations in Lincoln, Welland and Norfolk Counties and in Iowa and Michigan and elsewhere. Descendant surnames included: Byam, McCain, Mitchell, Rice, Learn, Ryan, Maier, Johnson, Lamb, Kirk, Morrow, Randall, Hill, Canby, Brookfield, Hale, Sheffield, Sherk, Lee, Ostrander, Pearson, Buckton, Becker, Pike, Wells, Cummings, McClintock, Reynolds, Fleming, Stilwell, Graham, Francis, Simes, Kirk, Cronas, Nixon, Perrin, Martin, Breeden, Magee, Husband, Smith, Doyne, Cowen, Rockwell, Koogler, Jenkins, Meese, Jeffreys, Aldrich, Fish, Saffrord, Ferris, Wilson, Hoote, Harris, Rederoff, Montross, McGuire, Webb, Partridge, Lowrie, Yokom, Hasley, Swick, Brown, Jackson, Makinson, Marshall, Turbin, Gilbert, Smale, Cline, McCall, Shaw, Ponting, Cunningham, Gibbs, Walker, Livsey, Bisbee, Moss, Carter, King, Aspden, West, Acker, Clifford, Putnam, Carson, Wiley, Stack, Hunt, Hilts, Anger, Stafford, Shipp, Kilmer, Ball, Rittenour, White, Storm, Marshall, Strawn, Snider, Spencer, Finch, Yeatman, Lemon, Kennedy, McIntyre, Shisler, Rhora, Anderson, Willson, McAlpine, Presley, Kibler, Tenyke, Reid, Moyer, Doan, Campbell, McKinley, Shipway, Hastings, Coulter, Little, Pummell, Moorehouse, MacKenzie, Miller
