Samuel Butz and his second wife Rachel Acker are my g g g grandparents. Samuel was born in Pa.as was his father. His grandfather Peter Butz was born in 1718 in the Duchy of Berg in what is now Germany. He came to America 11/9/1738 on the Charming Nancy.
I don't have anything on Maria Magdalene Frey except her parents names John and Marie Frey. Melinda Butz was born 3/21/1818 and baptised 5/17/1818 in Zion Reformed Church. I have nothing more on her. She had two brothers Tilghman and Edmund 4/11/1819.
The only ones I have more on is Tilghman Butz and the only child of Samuel Butz and Rachel Acker, Ephraim Franklin Butz.
I also have more on the Butz line back to Johannes and his son Peter Butz b. 1718 who came to America in 1738. I know nothing about them before their arrival in America.
