My Great Great Great Grandfather is John Austin Bazler (b. 1795-d. 1891) was born in Wurtemberg, Germany (town/village unknown). He came to the United States in the early 1800's with two brothers and possibly his father. He settled in Chillicothe, Ohio around 1818.

As the story is told, John settled in Ohio and one brother settled in the New York area. The other brother settled in the Indiana area or traveled back to Germany.

John married Elizabeth Legg (Lake) on November 18, 1821. Elizabeth was born in Virgina (possibly London County) but her family was of English decent. Together, John and Elizabeth had nine children. They were Margaret (1825-1905), Thomas (1831-1915), George (1835-????), Andrew (1836-????), Augustus (1840-1907), Elizabeth, (1843-1902), John (1845-????), Louisa (????-????), and William (????-????).

The family made bricks and later sold machinery and buggy parts for a living. John A. Bazler is buried in Greelawn Cemetary located in Chillicothe, Ohio.

Augustus Bazler is my Great Great Grandfather. Although he was born in Chillicothe he later moved to Columbus, Ohio. He enlisted into the Union Army in October 1862 to fight in the Civil War. He was a Private in the Company G, Regiment 113 Ohio Infantry. His discharge date was July 25, 1865. Shortly after he was discharged from the war he married Ottelia Palm on August 10, 1885. In the late 1800's he worked as a machinist with a company in Columbus, Ohio. Together Augustus and Ottelia had ten children. They were Bessie (1883-1959), Colonel (1885-1906), Blondena (1886-1909), Wallace (1888-1955), Verona (1891-1938), Mae (1898-1998), Howard (????-????), Earl (????-????), Ernest (????-????), and Edith (????-????). (By clicking the link below you can see a family picture that includes Howard, Mae, Ottilia Palm, Aunt Mary(?), Earl, Bessie, Fred Mantel (Bessie's husband), Edith, Verona, Ernest, Wallace and two people who cannot be identified.

My Great Grandfather is Wallace Bazler. Wallace came to Scioto County, located in Southern Ohio, as a small child. He was raised in the vicinity of Third & Market Streets in Portsmouth, Ohio which is situated near the Ohio River. He enlisted in the National Army on July 25, 1918. He served in the 31st Company, 8th Battalion 158 Depot Brigade. He received a Honorable discharge as a private on December 16, 1918. Also in 1918, he married Pearl Ann Spence. Together they had seven childern. They were Jack (1923-1996), Donald (1925-1964), James (????-????), Mildred (????-????), Ruth (????-????), Alma (????-????), and Mary (????-????).

I have more information on everybody I listed above. I would like to receive additional information that I might not have or just trade stories with others that may be a decendent or know someone that is a decendant from a Bazler.

I have searched and have come up empty many times about the history of the two brothers that had come over with John A. Bazler. I have no information on them except that they came to the United States with their brother John. If you have information that may be useful you can email me at kcapril10@earthlink.net or mail using the adress above.

Be sure to look at the picture links below and the family tree. The tree makes up nearly five hundred names.
