2. WILLIAM² MANG (JOHN WILLIAM¹)⁴ was born 1817 in Hesse (Hessen), Darmstadt, Germany, and died May 24, 1894 in Buffalo, Erie County, New York ^5,^6,⁷. He married JUSTINA BEVERLY KOCH⁸. She was born 1823 in Neueuburg, Wurttemberg, Germany^8,⁹, and died December 22, 1887 in Buffalo, Erie County, New York ¹⁰.

Notes for WILLIAM MANG:
In the 1844 Polk's Buffalo directory, there is a Jacob Mang listed at 328 1-2 Main as a shoemaker. This information comes from an e-mail from Bill Koechig Jan. 27, 2000. I wonder if Jacob is related to William? He is also living in the 4th Ward

In 1855, there is a servant listed with the family of William Mang. His name is William Eugler. He is 19 years old and was born in Germany. He had been living in the city of Buffalo for 3 years according to the 1855 Census (FHL Film No. 825678).

Word of mouth said that the Mang line claimed to be from Alsace Lorraine.

I know that William immigrated to the US by way of New York City.

In the St. Peter's Evangelical Church records for the year, 1854, on 19 Feb 1854, at the wedding of Peter Stoire? and Catharina Schubert, the witnesses are listed as "Wilhelm & Georg W. Mang".
Looks like William had a brother, George in town.

All St. Peters records were relinquished as follows: The original registers for this church are now located in the Buffalo & Erie Co., Historical Society.
