General Notes: Husband - Christian Buhl


The American pioneer of this family, he settled in Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and built one of the first homes there, soon after emigrating to the United States in 1800.

He was born in Germany, came to the United States in 1800, and in 1802 settled at Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He was a hatter, and conducted that business in Zelienople for many years. He possessed a good education for that period, served as justice of the peace for many years, and was an associate judge of Butler County for one term. In politics, he was a Democrat, and in religious faith, a member of the German Lutheran church, and helped to build the old stone church at Zelienople. [HBC 1895, 1084]

He and his wife were the parents of eleven children, six of whom were still living in 1895.

He was one of the pioneer settlers at Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania, a successful business man. Mr. Buhl was a hatter, a trade very important at that time, and followed that business for several years. He also dealt in real estate, being himself the owner of extensive tracts of land. He was for many years a member of the German Lutheran Church at Zelienople. [HIC 1913, 722]
