The 1900 census shows that their mother was named Sarah. Robert Henry disappears from census records after 1880. I believe Harvey may have been the son of Jeremiah Wayman of Summit.

Magdalena married SEBASTIAN BECKER 05 Dec 1686 in Alsheim. The family left Germany with the Palatines in 1709. Sebastian died enroute or shortly after arrival in New York in June of 1710. Magdalena and children were at West Camp 30 Jun 1710 (Hunter Lists #34), and as a widow on the 1716/17 Simmendinger list at Neu-Stuttgardt. Conrad married Sabina Mattheus (Mattice/Sofina Becker) 04 Jun 1717 at Schoharie (West Camp CHBK). He died before 1738 in Schoharie, leaving wife and children: Johann Nicholas, Sebastian, Johannes, Friedrich, Catharina and an unnamed child "murdered by Lawyer's slave 31 May 1741" (Rickard's German Lineage B). Magdalena appears as a sponsor at the Schoharie Reformed Church in 1732. I've found no trace of her or Michael and Justis, who are believed to have died in Schoharie.

BUTLER - I am trying to determine the father of William J. Butler or any of William's Siblings. Known facts: William J Butler was born in Mass in 1794 as reflected in all US census. He married Sophia Young (daughter of David Young) in Zion Ev, Lutheran Church in Cobleskill 6 Nov 1817. It appears that the parents of William J Butler moved to Schoharie County from Mass. between 1794 and 1817. I believe that William would not have made the move at an early age without his parents. If this assumption is correct then the parents of William are buried in Schoharie County, probably near Cobleskill. The probated will of a Moses Butler who died in March 1845 suggests that he could be the father of William J. Butler. Russel E Sackreiter - posted 04-98
