I have conflicting reports of my husband's ancestor Andrew (Andres) Budd. He was born in Germany. This is what I found: Came to America in 1784; build the first house (log) at Tioga Point (now Athens, PA); left the country in 1795; was in the German Army. Another report: The family followed up Sullivan's expedition doing service for the army. They were taken sick and died at Tioga Point, and are said to be buried at the junction of the Chemung and Susquehanna. The ship "Favorite" with Captain Nicholaus Valaus saided from Hamburg, arrived Philadelphia 5 September 1785, family name BOTT, Andreas, Anna Maria, Mary, Barbara, Casper, Anna Catherine and John (born 4 July 1778 in Fulda, Hessen, Germany). John married Mary (Polly) Bosworth who was descended from the Pilgrim fathers. About 1810, they left Chemung and migrated to Ohio. Are there any Budds or Botts still left in the Tri-County area?
