I see that a Henry Buzzard died in 1841 in Clark County, Ohio. I have a line of Bussards in Madison County, Ohio. Do you have some kind of document that shows Henry died there, or a baptismal record for his birth. Thanks for your help
This would appear to be a branch of my family tree. I am descended from Catherine Buzzard (1761-1851) daughter of Henry Buzzard (1725-1791) of Generation 7. Where did you find this wonderful information which extends my own by THREE generations and is VERY detailed?
my name is heather dequasie. my paternal grandmother was patricia buzzard-dequasie. which was decendant of heinrich henry Rudolph bosshart. that was as far as I could trace back on ancestry.com. I googled his name and found this 🙂 so great to get farther with your work. 🙂
