My other Swiss great great grandfather was
Johannes BUHRER / BUEHRER. He was born 3 May 1825
at Altorf, Switzerland. In the year of 1845 he
married Maria M. METZGER, who was also from
Altorf. She was born 24 May 1824. They had five
children who were all born in Switzerland. One
son (Johannes BUHRER), died young, and was buried
in Switzerland. This BUHRER couple immigrated to
America with their four daughters (via New York),
in either 1881 or 1883. They also settled on a
farm in Fayette county, Illinois, and they were
members of the Lutheran faith. My other Swiss
ancestor was Johann METZGER brother of Maria who
married Johannes BUHRER. He was born in 1821, and
he married Maria Magdalena STIEL, who was born 14
May 1820. They had a total of twelve children,
and this family departed for America on May 20,
1863, immigrating aboard a ship named "Goshen."
They first landed at New York City, and later
arrived at Chicago by train on 4 July 1863. They
also settled on a farm in Fayette county,
Illinois, and they were active members of the
Lutheran Church. These BUHRER'S, EHRAT'S &
SCHLATTER'S who settled in Fayette county,
Illinois, had relatives, (that came from the same
Swiss Canton of Schaffhausen), who settled in
Fulton County, Ohio. However, the exact
relationship has not yet been determined.
