Surnames: BUSCH, JOHNSON, POOKER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VEH.2ACIB/357 Message Board Post: My husband's gg-grandfather was Gustav BUSCH, b. 12-12-1847 in Dusseldorf, Rhine Province, Germany to William & Margaret BUSCH. His grandmother on his mother's side was Anna Margaret JOHNSON, and she came to the US in 1832 and settled in Quincy, IL where they built the third house erected in the city. Gustav came to the US in 1864 with his father. They landed in New York, then went to Chicago to see relatives. From Chicago, they came to St. Louis where Gustav's brother, William, was a lawyer (came to the US about 1862-63). They built a house on the corner of 7th & Lynch and stayed until the cholera epidemic struck. From there they moved to Franklin County, MO. Gustav married Folkelina (Volkelina) Christina POOKER on 2-21-1874 in Spring Bluff, Franklin, MO. If you are a descendant of William, Gustav, Julia or Caroline BUSCH from Dusseldorf, I would love to hear from you!
