Kenny WILLIAMS related to Sandra BUTCH
Interestingly, he was telling me a story of Cleveland Sloyer -- how he was called "Land," how he was the gypsy in the family (always traveling and looking for adventure) and how he had been away for so many years that his mother barely recognized him when he returned, and that he had syphilis -- thus confirming everything you told me earlier. I guess to my mother's young ears "Land" must have sounded like "Lant."

Susannah married (2) John Phillip BÜG son of Heinrich BŰG and Anna Barbara PARTENHEIMER on 10 Mar 1887 in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. John was born 1 on 27 Mar 1856 in bad Kreuznach, Eisenberg, Stauf, Freilaubersheim area in Germany. He died 2 in 1923. John was baptized 3 on 4 Apr 1856 in Sipperfeld. He immigrated 4 in 1880. He was naturalized 5 in 1890 in PA. He was employed 6 as day laborer in 1900. He was employed 7 as molder in 1920 in foundry.
Alicia Jenkins, ljj5@yahoo.com writes
My information on Johan Philip Büg comes from the church records for Sippersfeld, also recorded in Speyer. While living in Bad Kreuznach, Germany quite a few years back I started researching my mother's German ancestors. My maternal grandfather was a SCHLEICHER whose family came from Güstrow, Mecklenberg-Schwerin. My grandmother was an OBST, born in Manhattan in 1895 of Fredrich August OBST and Margaretha BÜG. one of their 5 children. The OBST family was originally from Polnish Lissa, Posen - at that time Germany.
Margaretha BÜG and her brother Johan Philip were recorded born in Stauf and baptised in Sipperfseld. Stauf now has about 250 inhabitants & is incorporated into Sippersfeld. This area has been in many hands but at the time was politically part of Bavaria. They were the children of Heinrich BÜG (this is the spelling in the church records) and Anna Barbara PARTENHEIMER. Heinrich was a farmer and a feldshutz - a friend advises this means he carried a gun used mainly to kill off birds which were decimating the fields & vineyards. He was the son of Johan Minrad BÜG - also a farmer - and his wife Maria Margaretha TRUMM of Stauf; Johan the son of Johanes BÜG and Maria Gertraude RITZER.Johan Philip BÜG's mother was Anna Barbara PARTENHEIMER who along with her 7 siblings was baptised in Frei-Laubersheim, which is now incorporated into Bad Kreuznach, of a branch of the PARTENHEIMER family which some generrations back married into a family of linenweavers, apparently took up the trade (as most of the family were, and some still are, wine makers/vinters), and moved a bit south to Sippersfeld. There they also served in various capacities in the church until at least 1958, which might explain the very well-kept records.
Johan Philip BÜG was born 27 Mar 1856 in Stauf & baptised 4 April 1856 in Sippersfeld. His godparents were his mothers parents, Johan Philip PARTENHEIMER, linenweaver, and his wife Christina BAUßman.
My mother pronounces Büg like "beeeg" which could explain the Bigg spelling. His family is from around Bad Kreuznach, Eisenberg, Stauf, Freilaubersheim area in Germany and I have church records for the Büg/Beug/Burg family as they relate to my Partenheimer family. Heinrich Büg m. Anna B Partenheimer - 2 known children were Johann Phillip Büg(27 Mar 1856) & Margaretha(my Ggrandmother). Their parents died in 1876 & 79 in Germany. They appear to have emmigrated together after that. She married an Obst in 1884 in NYC & stayed there. I have Johann's death in 1923.

Aaron and Emma seated in the front, with Blanche, Harvey, Jennie, and Minnie, a half-sister, standing behind them. Charlie is in a separate photo attached to the left. I assume his time was already gone when the family portrait was taken, as he died fairly young from alcohol poisoning

165. Daniel Abraham SLOYER Sr. (Abraham SLOYER , Dorthea "Dolly" SEIFERT , John , Johannes ) was born 1, 2 on 13 Mar 1866 in Northampton Co., Pennsylvania. He was christened on 11 Jun 1866. He died 3 on 30 Oct 1937 in Northampton Co., Pennsylvania. He was buried 4 in Arndt's Cemetery; Northampton Co., Pennsylvania. Daniel was employed 5 as laborer in 1900 in Cement mill. He was employed 6 as laborer in pencil mill in 1920/1930 in PA. He was employed 7 as 29 years in 1937 in Binney & Smith.
From interview in mid 1960s with Mrs. Daniel [Mary] Sloyer, Sr. and Luther Sloyer 10/2002 with Jay Willis Farmed entire life, necessitating family to move frequently when younger. In 1904 rented farm house from the Binney & Smith Co., the makers of Crayola crayons. The propertywas next to the Easton plant on the Bushkill Creek by the bridge. The house was a very large limestone farm house with one hallway and room used by the superintendent of Binney & Smith Co., the remainder by the Sloyer family.. Luther Sloyer relates the story that prior to working for Binney & Smith Co. [then know as the pencil mill], Daniel was hauling wood for his relative Mr. Snyder to his limestone kiln about a mile past the mill. The superintendent of Binney & Smith Co., Mr. Cress[SP?] was impressed with the amount of work and diligence of Daniel that he asked if he was paid by the week or hour. The response was week and he said come work for us we will pay by the hour. In 1907 Daniel started in the Blackmill. He later started to farm property owned by the Binney & Smith Co. In 1921 the Company put the first running water and electricity into the house. It was a very large limestone farm house divided into two sections in 1948 and members of the family lived in both sides. The family lived in the house for 70+ years. Most members of the family work for Binney & Smith at one time or the other; Daniel Sloyer Bennett currently employed being the fourth generation to do so. Faithful members of Arndts' Lutheran Church, Forks Twp. Northampton Co. PA. Daniel was described as a tall (6'), slender good natured man with brown hair by his wife He died at late afternoon on a Saturday following a two week illness of very difficult breathing. He died at home present were his wife, daughter-in-law Amy, and daughter Marion.

******
When interviewed in the 1960s by great-grandson Jay Willis stated her full name was Mary Ann Ashton Wilson, however there is no collaborating evidence of this. However 1880 census indicates that neighbor who listed Jennie as adopted daughter was named Mary Ashton. could Mary have adopted this name from a strong relationship with a woman who was filling the motherly needs of youth girls who were orphans?

Linda Klosek 1/2003:
My theory on Preston and Mary Sloyer. In the 1890 substitute census I don't know who the Mary, age 16, is.
In the 1910 Census Preston is listed as single and Mary M. Ruth is listed as married 11 years with 2 children. I believe her 2 children were the Eva and Mary M. who are also listed. I believe she may have been married to a Ruth who possibly died soon after Eva was born. I think she then lived with Preston and had a child with him, Mary M. in 1909. I believe they married sometime between 1910 and 1912.Baptisms at Christ Evan. Luth. Church in Hellertown, PA are:
Mary Maria Sloyer, b. June 8, 1909, dau. of Preston Sloyer and Mary M. Ruth.
Samuel Abraham Sloyer, b. Sept. 7, 1912, son of Preston Sloyer and Mary M. Hoffert.
Preston Andrew Sloyer, b. Sept. 24, 1914, son of Preston Sloyer and Mary Hoffert.
Emma Elizabeth Sloyer, b. Mar. 14, 1918, dau. of Preston Sloyer and Mary Hoffert.
Ida Naomi Sloyer, b. May 22, 1920, dau. of Preston Sloyer and Mary Hoffert.Preston's obit, 1944, states his wife was Mary A. Hoffert and children were Mrs. Franklin (Mary) Klutz, Mrs. Otto (Emma) Schaeffer, Mrs. Charles (Ida) Shultz, Preston Jr. and Samuel Sloyer, and one step-daughter Eva Ruth.
Mary's obit, 1961, states she was Preston's widow. Survivors are 2 sons Samuel and Preston, 3 daus. Eva Ruth Sloyer, Mrs. Otto (Emma) Schaffer, Mrs. Charles (Ida) Schultz. (By this time dau. Mary had died).
Mary M. (Sloyer) Klotz, 1945, says she is a daughter of the late Preston and Mary nee Hoffert Sloyer. Survived by, mother, sisters and brothers, Mrs. Otto Schaeffer, Mrs. Charles Schultz, Eva Ruth Sloyer, Preston Jr. and Samuel Sloyer.
Samuel's obit, 1978, says he was a son of Preston and Mary (Hoffert) Sloyer. Survived by 3 sisters, Eva Ruth, Mrs. Emma Schaffer and Mrs. Charles Schultz.
Mrs. Eva S. Ruth's obit., 1980, states she was a dau. of Preston and Mary (Hoffert) Sloyer. Surviving are 2 sisters Mrs. Emma Schaffer and Mrs. Charles Schultz.
(I believe because Eva's real father probably died when she was so young, that Preston was considered her father since he raised her).From all the above info. my conclusion is that there was only one wife Mary.
