Buckenmeyer Family Genealogy
|
The family likely spoke German, but the civil records were largely in French. In the below family tree, "Jean-Michel" is "Johan Michael." Similarly, "Françoise" is "Frantz." This French/German written/spoken combination is the case for all of the given names. The Buckenmeyer family was Roman Catholic. Most of the family either stayed in France or emigrated to New York and Ohio, USA.  the Buckenmeyer and Kolb families settled in Sheldon, Wyoming Co., NY. I provide more details of Sheldon and the Church below, under Theresa Buckenmeyer.

.............Theresa Buckenmeyer's birth record is a civil record and is written in French. Witnesses to her birth were Jacob Linn (age 30) and Joseph Stephan (age 38, the rural guard or sylvan guard of Riedseltz, i.e., someone who someone who guards the communal forest to prevent unauthorized lumber theft). .............Theresa and her husband Peter Kolb immigrated to Sheldon, Wyoming County, New York in June/July 1846. They settled there with Theresa's brother Jacob and his family. Sheldon, New York was a farming community that was in the midst of becoming more established when the Kolb and Buckenmeyer family arrived in 1846. Other families from Riedseltz had previously settled in Sheldon. (The Hibsch family still has descendants in the Sheldon area; there are Buckenmeyer descendants in the neighboring township of Bennington.) .............In Sheldon, the Kolb and Buckenmeyer families were loyal members of the St. Cecelia's Church in Sheldon. The church is known as "the Cathedral of Wyoming County." In 1838, just eight years prior to the Kolb/Buckenmeyer arrival, a tiny Church that would later transform into St. Cecelia's was built a half mile south of the present structure. It was meant to accomodate about 30 families. The church was a frame building, about 28 ft. wide and 30 ft. long, erected upon a stone foundation and boasting a tiny tower. As more families moved to Sheldon, the small church became inadequate; a new one was built in 1848. .............The new church building was a wooden structure, about 40 x 90 ft. The sanctuary was narrower than the body of the church by about three feet on each side and higher by about seven steps. The new church was blessed by Bishop Timon. In 1849, the first rectory was built by the first resident pastor, Rev. J.G. Schaefer. By 1860, Sheldon Township had a population of 2,794. Father Gruber, pastor from 1850-1852, enumerated about 200 families. -- ............................................. 5 Jacques Kolb b: Feb. 03, 1839 in Riedseltz, France ............................................. 5 Pierre Kolb b: Jan. 27, 1841 in Riedseltz, France ................................................ d: April 20, 1904 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin .................................................. + Catherine (unknown) b: June 03, 1847 in Bayern, Germany ..................................................... d: March 21, 1880 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin .................................................. *2nd Wife of Pierre Kolb: .................................................. + Katharina Pecher b: November 13, 1856 in Neudek (Nejdek), .....................................................
