I have a Hamler family member who married a "Leffler" and I wondered if there could be a relationship. My G-Grandfather Wm. H. Hamler's brother was David Hamler (1809 - 1886, Sussex Co., NJ); David's wife being Amy (Drake) Hamler of Morris County. One of their many children was Abner B. Hamler 11 Nov 1843 - 02 Apr 1884, married to North Carolinian Mary Jane Willoughby with child Nancy Roxanne Willoughby. Her husband, a Confederate serviceman, abandoned Mary Jane and daughter during the Civil War. On his way back from the war, Abner stopped in North Carolina and married Mary Jane, bringing Mary Jane and daughter Nancy back to Sussex Co., NJ with him. Abner and Mary Jane had one son who lived: David B. Hamler who married Cora B. Dilley and had a son called Arthur David Hamler of Sussex Co., NJ. Arthur and his wife Nellie Hamler had a daughter called Marian Hamler, b. abt. 1915, who married... Walter Leffler, on 07 Feb 1937, Trinity Reformed Church, Newark [Source: The Sussex Independent Newspaper, 25 Feb 1937]. Could there be a connection with your Leffler? Marian Hamler's father Arthur Hamler was a Tax Collector in Sussex Co., NJ and later the county Surrogate. Kathleen Hamler Purchase [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])
