Bauer from Hessen-Darmstadt to Buffalo NY
My g-g-grandfather was Peter Bauer (b. about 1795 in Heppensheim) who married Katharina Stegmann (b. 7/17/1896, d. 5/11/1880 in Buffalo.They had Peter (b.1821) and my g-grandmother Elizabeth Bauer (b. 11/11/1832 in Heppenheim, d. 11/24/1910 in Buffalo)whho married Jacob Recktenwald(t) Jr. on 10/9/1851.Their son Charles Peter Recktenwalt (b. 11/08/1858 in Buffalo)was my grandfather who married Helen Cramer (b.4/4/1870 in Fremont Ohio).Three of Charles Peter's siblings were born in lower Ontario during the 1850/1860's, perhaps to avoid involvement in the civil war.
Do these names sound familiar to anyone?
