I am researching my Possert, Bossard, Buzzard family.I am trying to prove that Johannes Philip Possert is my 6th. great grandfather.He was born in 1706, I think in Alsace-Lorraine, and he came over on the "Samuel & Elizabeth" in 1740.I think he is the father of Heinrich Possert, who was born in 1740, possibly on the ship coming over.
Philip was married to Eva Catharine.He came to Hamilton Twp. Pa.He died in 1797.
Heinrich Possert was married to Anna Catharine. He lived in Northampton, and died in 1791-2 in Westmoreland Co. Pa.
Heinrich's son, Philip Jacob Buzzard, was born on Sept. 26, 1763 in Northampton, Pa.He married Anna Margaretha approx. 1787, and died Feb. 23, 1823 in Holmes Co. Ohio.
Philip Jacob Buzzard's son, Capt. Jonathon Buzzard, was born on July 31, 1788 in Hamilton Twp., Northampton, Pa.He married Margery Spurgeon or Sparlin, in 1808 in Youngstown, Ohio. His second wife was Sarah, and his third wife was Nancy Adams.He became a captain in the Blackhawk War.In 1833 he moved to Seneca, Mo. with his family.He died there in 1855.
Capt. Jonathon's son, George, was born April 15, 1811, in Youngstown, Ohio.He moved to Holmes Co., Ohio (then part of Wayne Co.).He married Eleanor Shields.He died April 20, 1879, in Newton Co., Seneca, Mo.
George Buzzard's son, Jasper Buzzard, was born on December 12, 1839 in Seneca, Missouri.He married Mary Gray on Dec. 15, 1860. He became a judge in 1860. He married Tennessee Gray, Mary's sister, in April, 1866.He died in 1916 in Newton Co., Seneca, Mo.
Benjamin E. Buzzard, Jasper's son, was born April 22, 1875 in Seneca, Mo.He married Nora Gallemore on Jan. 1, 1899.He died on March, 5, 1909, at the age of 34, in Seneca, Mo.
I would like to prove that Johannes Philip Possert is Heinrich Possert's father,I would like to know who Capt. Jonathon's first wife was. I would like the last name of Philip Jacob's wife.I would like to know why Benjamin E. Buzzard has such an early death.
Iwelcome any E-Mail or regular mail from anyone who is connected to the same family.
