I have two Anna Marie Luehrings that I don't know a spouse for, but they would be a little older than I would expect for your GGG Grandmother. One was born Feb 26, 1813 and the other July 18, 1803. That would make them in their mid 30's and mid 40's when your GG Grandmother Dorothea Marie Buhr was born. But we are likely distantly related on the Buhr side. There were Buhr's living in Ellerndorf on halbhof #2 at the time your GG Grandmother was born. My GGG Grandfather Peter Heinrich Buhr took over the farm in 1839 when his father passed away and your GGG Grandfather could have been his brother staying on the family farm as a shepard or bee keeper until Verkoppelung came to Ellerndorf in 1856 and their was no more "shared" land for the shepards and bee keepers and many had to find work elswheres and that could explain why Henry Otto was born in Muden (may have been Müden - that's the parish the Luehrings in my family are from). Also, when Peter Heinrich Buhr was married, it was announced in Eimke and Hanstedt, and his wife Catherine Dorothy Buhr (maiden and married name) was from Eitzen in the Hanstedt parish so there is a connection to Hanstedt too. No definite connections, but hope it helps. I haven't used this email account much in the last few years, sorry to have been slow to answer.
