Looking for information on Francisca Catharina Bunnemyer (later known as Catherine Billmayer), who married Gerhard Heinrich Pund (later know as Gerard Punte). Information is from marriage certificate of their son, Henry Punte, who married in 1864 in Philadelphia, PA, born about 1834 in Oldenberg. The family arrived in the US about 1858.

Clyde,
If the Jacob you refer to is the same as the one in the 1785 Albermarle Co. census and who had a brother Christopher, his father is John Mayer/Moyer/Myer who in 1790 was living in Easton Pa.

clanlockard — 2006-07-29 12:46:09Z

What a wealth of knowledge you are! I just read all of your postings hoping to find my great grandmother Eleanora Billmyer (AKA Ellen Billinger). She was born in Maryland and married my great grandfather, Isaac Winter there. Isaac was born May 7, 1851. Later, they migrated to Iowa and lived there until they died. Elleanora's ancestors immigrated from Germany in the early 1700s, going first to PA; then Maryland.

Unfortunately, I didn't see anything in the postings to tie my line back with names etc. Do you have any of this information?

I appreciate your time and will wait anxiously to hear from you.

Thanks,

Hi David,

My mother's maiden name was Billmeyer. I have a Billmeyer genealogy that goes back to Johann Leonhardt Buhlmeier who came to America back in 1731.

Josephine Billmeyer's other sister, Rittie Mae Billmeyer, married Samuel Alfred Musser. I would love to share notes with you on your connection to the Billmeyer genealogy.

Contact me hear or off-line.

Hi,
Josephine Billmeyer, Clara Belle's sister, was my great, great grandmother. She married David William Musser and they built a home in Auburn, Iowa where they ran a saw mill. One of Josephine's other sisters married one of David's brothers, but I do not know which ones. I have found some census pages of the Ellis Billmeyer family in PA, but have not managed to go back any farther. Feel free to contact me, and best of luck with your search.

March 14, 1781:
Whereas the subscriber, by his Petition, bearing date the 5th of November, 1780, to the honourable Assembly of the State of Pennsylvania, setting forth, that his wife Mary had eloped from his bed and board, without any reasonable cause, and lived in a state of separation for about the space of eight years, and afterwards undertook to intermarry and cohabit with another man, by whom she hath had one or more children; and praying that uponn due notice he may be permitted to bring in a bill to the honourable House of Assembly, to dissolve the marriage hertofore had between the said Petitioner and the said Mary; whereupon the honourable House of Assembly took the same into consideration and permitted the Petitioner to bring in a bill, giving two months public notice in the Gazette; in obedience of which order the subscriber hereby gives notice to all persons who may have any objections against the passing of such a law as prayed for, to make them know to the Assembly or some member of it within the time last above-mentioned.

I am not related to this family, I am just passing on this information, which comes from a book titled "Runaway Women, Elopements And Other Miscreant Deeds, As Advertised In The Pennsylvania Gazette - 1728 -1789.

Hi Jesse,

I just happened to see if there were any new messages on this message board and found yours. After reading your message, I checked a couple of my family trees (different spelling of this surname) to see if your great-great grandfather was listed in any of them but he wasn't. I see where there is a William Sentel Billmeyer and a William Sentney, Jr. Can I assume they are both Billmeyer's? Which is the correct spelling of their middle name? Where is the Craig Cemetery located? Which one of William's four children do you descend from? Where do you live? If I can ever make a match to one of the Billmeyer/Billmyer trees I'm working on, I'll let you know.

Hi Janet,

Looked for the name Eleanor Billmyer but unfortunately I couldn't find her in any of my Billmeyer/Billmyer family history. You say that "Eleanor's ancestors immigraated from Germany in the early 1700s, going first to PA; then Maryland." Do you have any names of Eleanor's ancestor's that I can compare to what information I have on this surname?

The earliest known Billmeyer/Billmyer/Billmire to arrive in America was Johann Leonhardt Bihlmeier. He arrived in 1731 and settled in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He married Anna Bart(h) and they had eight children. Some of the children spelled their name Billmeyer, some Billmire and some Billmyer. Johann Martin Billmire married Catherine Thomas. They married in Frederick, Maryland. He died in Hagerstown, Maryland. She died in Dayton, Ohio. Most of their seven children changed their name to Billmyer. A few kept it Billmire.

I "assume" you are Daniel Harrison Billmeyer, III. Please contact me privately so we can discuss why I'd like to corresponde with you further.

Hi Betty,

It's so nice to hear from you.

Here's what I have on LIZZIE BRIEG. She was born on 23 August 1873 and died on 1 December 1961. I have no information as to where she was born or died. I show her first name as NINA. If the census records show her first name as LIZZIE, then the N. must stand for NINA. Do you agree?

As far as I know, Frank and Lizzie had at least two children. They were RUTH ALBERTA BILLMEYER and BRUCE ROBERT BILLMEYER. I have no further information on either of these children.

Frank was one of 11 children. I'd be happy to share any of my BILLMEYER data with you. If you need/care to get back to me, I can be reached at my private email address. It is robbie4244@hotmail.com.

Do you have any information on the Billmyers and Bellmyers of Harford County, Maryland? Charles Billmyer's entry in the 1900 census says he came from Germany in 1852. (In 1880, his name was spelled Bealmyer, and his place of birth was listed as Hanover). There are some Bellmyers who appear to be related.

I am trying to find information about a Henry Michael Billmeyer who was in the Cleveland Ohio area during the late 1890's. Henry married Anna E Vormelker nee Hoelter Nov 7, 1894. They had a son Victor August Billmeyer on June 29, 1895. The two were divorced June 17, 1898 in Cleveland. According to divorce documents Henry moved out west and was never heard from again. I have no idea where Henry came from or the names of his parents.

Anna married Henry Buescher (1902) and Victor's last name was changed to Buescher. Henry Michael Billmeyer is the great grandfather of my wife.

I'm looking into Meyer and variations including Mire, Mayer, Moyer, Mawyer and infinate others. I've found some interesting paralells to the Billmeyers and wonder if anyone has seen where the name was shortened to Meyer.`We have traced back to PA Jacob and Elizabeth Mawyer/Mayer/Moyer whose 4 children were born between 1768 and 1786.

FAMILY COAT OF ARMS

2002-12-30 09:03:34Z

I do not have a family coat of arms.
My mother's ancestor came to America in
1731 and entered thru the port of
Philadelphia. He settled in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. His name was Johann Leonhardt
Bihlmeier. Other spellings of this surname
are Billmeyer, Billmyer, Billmire, Billmyre,
Billmaier, Bellmeyer, and Buhlmayer. How
far back have you traced your family history?
Which port did your ancestor enter America?

Billmeier surname

2002-12-30 09:02:29Z

I have been looking for my family's coat of arms (if any). All I know for sure is that there are some Micheners in there 300 years ago or so. Most of the Billmeiers in my family currently reside in and around Bay City, Michigan.

Christina Katharina Bihlmaier 1799

2002-12-30 09:00:09Z

I hope my Bihlmaier is a spelling variation of your Billmeyers. The Bihlmaiers ended in my line with Christina Katharine Bihlmaier b. 31JUL1799 at Baach Ger. She married Johannes Haller on 05NOV1822 at Winnenden Ger.Her parents are Bernhard Bihlmaier and Dorothea Schwarz, no dates. Bernhard's occupation was 'Cultivator of Wins' whatever that is. Christina died 15FEB1855 at Berg, Ger. If this connects it will fill a big gap in my family tree.

Re: George C. Billmeyer

2002-12-30 08:57:21Z

This is in reply to your query on The Billmeyer Surname Message Board on FamilyHistory.com. I believe your GEORGE C BILLMEYER might be related to JACOB BILLMEYER who came to the colonies in 1731 and settled in York, Pennsylvania. He was born @ 1714; died 16 February 1777. He married on _____ __________ _____ HELENA HOLTZENDER (she was born _____ __________ _____ and died on 14 November 1803). Jacob is not my direct descendant but I do have a little history on his family. However, I have nothing on GEORGE C BILLMEYER.

I'll see if I can find his obituary in the York newspaper since you know he died sometime in December of 1971. I live in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and York, Pennsylvania is only about 30 miles east of Gettysburg. I'll let you know if I can find any further information on your great grandfather, GEORGE C BILLMEYER.

I would have replied to your email address but you didn't put an @ after it.
