They came together in 1857 to Wolcottsville. He died 25 Feb 1905 in Royalton, Wolcottsville, Niagra Co, NY. Also looking for a Kruse family who arrived in 1869 to Wolcottsville area? Johann Jochim Kruse b. 14 Aug 1804. wife- Friedrike Magdelina Sophia geb Lange. b about 1815 children- Ferdinand Peter Friedrich b. 27 Jan 1849, Germany Maria Sophia Christiana Kruse b. 4 Feb 1852. The Kruse family is still a great mystery. Have not been able to find them since they arrived on the ship SS Allemannia in 28 Oct 1869. The Kruse and Buller families came from the small towns in far northeastern Germany, called Viezen or Vietzen, and Klein Belitz areas near Butzow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany.
