Checked the 1909 Butler County History. It gives two Stuebgens arriving as part of the group from Saxony with the Roeblings. It states that in the spring of 1832, 300 families left Saxony to colonize 16,000 acres of land in Jefferson Twp. Those who settled in what became Saxonburg included A. Steubgen and Christian Steubgen. Saxonburg was laid out in the traditional plan of a Saxon village. The Church is at the eastern end of Main Street. Originally all the plots of land went from Main Street north or south to parallel streets. Each person owned a long narrow plot of several acres. The north street is now Water Street. I can't remember the name of the southern street but someone out there must know. Homes and businesses were built against the street with no front yards. -----Original Message----- From: BethStuebgen <IAMBETH@ATTBI.COM> To: PABUTLER-L@rootsweb.com <PABUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 6:19 PM Subject: Re: [PABUTLER-L] 1916 Farm Directory >Thank you so much for your suggestions! >I will certainly follow up on these!! >Beth M.
