Your posting from 2005 mentions several estates. The one I am most interested in is the 23 Aug 1811 Eastate of Adam Butz, with widow Christina. It mentions a son: Michael.�I believe he�is my friend's link to the patriots. Do you have a copy of the original�estate papers? And a copy of where the birth record for Michael was found? �� As I said before I will cover your costs. I have written to the Easton Area Library, in Easton, PA. And, I am trying to get my friend to contact the Monroe County Historical Association. I am following any lead I can, trying to document that each generation is related to the other. You happen to have come up twice as a lead! Below is her family tree for the Butz line. (she is a Davidson) I keep finding conflicting dates posted on line. �� Once again, I am thankful for any little bit of help you can offer. ������������������������ Janice von Schummer � Descendants of Adam (SR) Butz 1 Adam (SR) Butz b: 1730 Pennsylvania d: Aug 1806 . +Anna Margaret Rauch d: Abt. 1806 ....... 2 Adam Butz b: 30 Aug 1760 Tohieken, Pennsylvania d: Oct 1810 ........... +Christina Andre d: Abt. 1810 .................. 3 Michael Butz b: 05 Jul 1785 d: 1845 ...................... +Maria Barbara Hauser b: 20 May 1787 Pennsylvania ............................ 4 Abraham Butz b: 02 Jan 1812 Northampton/Monroe Co.
