Ok.. here is some information I've collected about John Jacob Burgoon and his wife Elizabeth. I would like for everyone to view it and tell me if my information seems to be correct or not. Some of it has come from other sites and others came from actual records.

John Jacob Burgoon/Burgoyne/Burgun/Burgan (these are different spellings I've gathered over the years)b. 1715 in Alsace, Loraine, France (now Germany) d. June 18, 1806 or 1811 ?, in Taneytown, Fredrick Co. (now Carroll Co.) Maryland. m. Elizabeth (Callaway or Goode)in 1745 or 1747 in Baltimore, Maryland. For his wife Elizabeth I found those two last names for her on someone else's family tree online so I don't know if either last name would be correct or not.

John Jacob emigrated to America in 1740? I have him listed as being on the ship Lydia in 1742 where the ship came into Baltimore, Maryland. He is listed on panel number 59 at Ellis Island. He was a cordwainer in France. A cordwainer being someone that makes shoes and other articles from find soft leather. He served in the French Army and married an English lady (this being Elizabeth) on board the ship while coming to America. He settled on a 160 acre farm after reaching America near Taneytown, Maryland.

His wife Elizabeth (Callaway or Goode)? was born between 1715-1730 ( I have 1715, 1720 & 1730 all listed as birth dates through different searches)born in England. Died between 1766 and 1800 in Maryland. She was listed as being a Protestant.

This is all information I've gathered from many different places. If anyone can fill in the gaps for dates or corrections please let me know!

I'm related to him through my Grandmother Pauline Fern (Garrett) Mullins. This is my tree from John Jacob.
