Please reply to [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 3:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: re: Berks County Geaniology hello, I was hoping you might be able to help me - I am reserching a civil war letter I reasently discovered and came accross your site becouse the authers Name Levi Baer was in an artical and I am fairly sure it is the same levi Baer - he is mentioned here in this exert from the page, near the bottom: BUCKS, CALVIN W. p. 1610 Surnames: BUCKS, WINTERS, BOOKS, GRIMM, CHRIST, NOECKER, GRAEFF, ALTHOUSE, MILLER, LAZARUS, SPATZ, BHAER, BOYER KLEIN, STAUDT, MEYER/MOYER, KLOPP NOTE: Researcher's note follows this entry. Calvin W. Bucks, proprietor of the Old Honesty Cigar Box Company, at Reading, and one of the representative business men of that city, was born Dec. 18, 1871, in Upper Bern Township. son of Joshua N. and Valeria (Winters) Bucks, and grandson of John Bucks. The original Bucks homestead in Bern township was granted by the Penns to Jacob Grimm in 1744, and he retained it until 1770 when it was sold to Hans Books. The name Bucks on the old parchment deeds was spelled Books, these deeds now being in the possession of Calvin W. Bucks, of Reading. In 1814 Abraham Bucks, son of Hans Books (or John Bucks) sold this tract to his son Daniel Bucks. It was owned in the family for more than one hundred years. In 1759 John Bucks was a taxable in Bern township, paying a tax of In 1770 he purchased property from Jacob Grimm as above stated, and in 1785 he sold this to his son Abraham. In 1790 according to the Federal census, he was a resident farmer of Bern township, and had two sons under sixteen years of age, and one daughter. He died in 1816, leaving a son John, Jr., who was the executor of his father's estate as recorded in Will Book C, page 112. His children were: John Jr.; Abraham; Anna Mary (m. to Conrad Christ). It is evident from the census report that there was at least a daughter whose name is not recorded. Abraham Bucks (probably a brother of John) was a farmer in Bern township. In 1790 two of his sons were under sixteen years of age. His last will and testament was made April 24, 1811, and he died the same year. His will is on record in Will Book A, page 587. His children were: John, Abraham, Daniel, Susanna, Sarah, Margaret, Magdalena, Catharine, and Anna Maria. The sons were given the lands in Bern and were to pay their sisters 0 for their share of the large estate. Daniel, the youngest son, was given the four horses and their harnesses and the other farm implements. John Bucks, grandfather of Calvin W,. was born in Centre township, Berks County, where at one time he was the owner of considerable property. He married Susanna Noecker, and their children were: Emanuel; Sarah m. (first) a Graeff, (second) Samuel Althouse; Matilda and Caroline, both died unmarried; Catherine m. Monroe Miller; Frank resides at Reading; Mary m. Henry Lazarus; and Joshua N. Of this family there are yet living Emanuel, Sarah, Frank and Joshua N. Joshua N. Bucks was born in Centre township, and was reared to agricultural pursuits. He continued to farm until 1904, when he removed to Reading. He owned two adjoining farms, one of nearly 100 acres and the other of 58 acres, both in Centre township, and these he sold before taking up his residence at No. 226 West Oley street, Reading. He is engaged in the box manufacturing industry. In politics he is a Democrat and he served as auditor of Centre township. He married Valeria Winters, daughter of John R. and Amanda (Spatz) Winters of Bern township. Calvin Bucks, only son of his parents, was reared on the home farm. He attended the public schools of his native township and of Centreport, and later the Keystone State Normal School, where he was graduated in 1900. He had taught school, however, three years prior to his graduation. For two years more he engaged in teaching and was then granted his master's diploma, teaching in all five years. In 1902 he took a commercial course in the Reading Business College, and later taught one year at that institution. In 1903 he became bookkeeper for the firm of A. Thalheimer & Son, being employed there for about two years, when it was incorporated under the name of A. Thalheimer Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of cigar boxes. For two years Mr. Bucks served as secretary and treasurer of this company. He then withdrew his interests and embarked in a similar business, Jan, 15, 1907, in association with his father, Joshua N. Bucks, under the firm name of Old Honesty Cigar Box Company. The business is prospering. It is located at No. 634 Washington street, and employment is given to fifteen workers. On June 13, 1896, Mr. Bucks was married to Maggie Bhaer, daughter of Levi and Rebecca (Boyer) Bhaer of Mohrsville, and a granddaughter of Isaac and Anna Bhaer of Bern Township. Mr. and Mrs. Bucks have one daughter, Consuelo Beatrice. In 1894, Mr. Bucks learned telegraphy at Shoemakersville, and subsequently filled positions in New Jersey, also at West Falls and Philadelphia. Both he and his wife belong to the First Reformed Church at Reading. He is a member of Washington Camp, No. 446, P. O. S. of A., Centreport; and Reading Lodge, no 549, F. & A. M., Reading. (1) Abraham Bucks, son of John Bucks/Hans Books (d. 1785) and brother of John Bucks (d. 1816), died in 1811. Abraham Bucks (d. 1811) had three sons, John, Abraham, and Daniel. In 1814, after Daniel reached his majority, the lands of Abraham Bucks (d. 1811), as decreed by his will, were divided between his three sons. "It is my will, that when my youngest son Daniel has arrived to his age, then shall the three mentioned John, Abraham, and Daniel divide the land as well as they can, and impower my Brothers Son John Bucks, that he shall sign Deeds for the mentioned three sons to whom I have bequeathed them my Land. which shall be as good as if I had made them myself." I believe this is the land transaction Montgomery is referring to, and that John Bucks, son of John Bucks d. 1816, is not selling the land to Abraham, but simply dividing the land of his Uncle Abraham (d. 1811) between the three sons of Abraham - and that son Abraham's portion was the original land under the Warrant from the Penns and purchased from Jacob Grimm. (2) John Bucks/Hans Books (d. intestate probably 1785, as land records indicate), was the father of John Jr.; Abraham; and Anna Mary (m. to Conrad Christ). This information was found in land records. John Bucks Jr., who died in 1816, had the following children with his wife, Elisabeth, according to his will: Catherine Bucks, b. 9 Feb 1777, m. Johannes Klein 18 Oct 1796; John Bucks, b. (1 Aug?) 1779, m. Catherina Staudt? m. Elisabeth Reigel?; Elizabeth Bucks, b. 22 Oct 1781, d. 30 Mar 1852, m. Martin Meyer/Moyer; Sarah Bucks, b. 1783, m. John Klopp. (3) Levi "Bhaer" never spelled his name that way. In records, he is found as Levi Baer, Levi Bear, and Levi Barr. The spelling "Bhaer" was adopted by Levi's wife, Rebecca Boyer, in about 1900, and by some of his children (Maggie, Theodore, Ida, Irvin). Levi Baer is buried in the cemetery of Gernant's Church. Rebecca Boyer Bhaer is buried in Charles Evans Cemetery. (4) The father of Levi Baer is John Barr (1814-1875), son of Abraham Barr, and John Barr was married to Anna Williams. Isaac Baer, also a son of Abraham Barr, is the uncle of Levi Baer, not his father. NOTE: The contributor of this footnote is the great-granddaughter of Calvin Bucks, and the great-great granddaughter of Levi Baer. Abraham Bucks, son of John Bucks/Hans Books (d. 1785) and brother of John Bucks (d. 1816), died in 1811. Abraham Bucks (d. 1811) had three sons, John, Abraham, and Daniel. In 1814, after Daniel reached his majority, the lands of Abraham Bucks (d. 1811), as decreed by his will, were divided between his three sons. "It is my will, that when my youngest son Daniel has arrived to his age, then shall the three mentioned John, Abraham, and Daniel divide the land as well as they can, and impower my Brothers Son John Bucks, that he shall sign Deeds for the mentioned three sons to whom I have bequeathed them my Land. which shall be as good as if I had made them myself." I believe this is the land transaction Montgomery is referring to, and that John Bucks, son of John Bucks d. 1816, is not selling the land to Abraham, but simply dividing the land of his Uncle Abraham (d. 1811) between the three sons of Abraham - and that son Abraham's portion was the original land under the Warrant from the Penns and purchased from Jacob Grimm." my hope is to locate this "great-great granddaughter of Levi Baer" and reunite her family with this piece of there history, as I would hope someone would do the same for me too - any help would be apriciated, you can pass my e-mail adress along if you like - thanks for all of the time and trouble!!

    3. I have been trying to locate microfilms/original copies of newspapers for the Reading area, and specifically Sinking Spring for the 1840's. My GG Grandmother, Elizabeth BLANKENBILLER married Unknown ZIEGLER before October of 1845. Their son Martin ZIEGLER was born October 24, 1845. Unknown ZIEGLER died before July 21, 1848. Elizabeth BLANKENBILLER ZIEGLER remarried Dietrich HEIDMAN sometime before this date, when a daughter, Susannah was born to them. Elizabeth and Dietrich are buried in the Salem United Brethren (Weidman's) Cemetery in Sinking Spring; also Susannah, who married David LESHER. They all may have attended that church, although I have not been able to locate the records. The Historical Society of Berks County says it does not have any newspapers that cover this time period, and I am not sure where to look for the church records either, if they even exist. No help with LDS microfilms either. Can anyone help here?

There was of course the Boyertown Times/Democrat whatever. The Hamburg Item. Pottstown Ledger/Mercury. But suspect if he lived and died in Reading and immediate suburbs, and the Times was also on strike, there is no obit. At least most people were reached with a 5 digit phone number. Guy

    2. >From the Pennsylvania State Library... Due to printer strike paper was not published from Sept. 7 to Dec. 27, 1945. Isn't that always the way!

Now for the problem. I was at the Historical Society of Berks County on Saturday and they don't have the Reading Eagle or any other local paper that would cover this area on time. There is a lapse in the Micro film for the time span. Also checked the Reading Eagle on Google and they have the same problem. Is there a newspaper that would cover the area that may have it or is there any place that may have the Reading Eagle without the lapse in time? Thanks.
