More About ELIZABETH CATHERINE BÜCHELER:

Early research indicated she was born December 2, 1827. That date may have been a christening date as latter research indicates she was born November 22, 1827.

The spelling of BÜCHELER is the correct spelling of her surname. Buercheler was taken from the article above as acquired from the Meigs County Archive Library and the article in the notes under Norman Estes Schaefer in this report. An alternate spelling of the surname as Buerchaler was taken from the family Bible by Helene Elizabeth Schaefer [Dunkle] and provided to Carole Ann Wright [Priemer].

Early research shows she was the daughter of Henry Buercheler and Susanna Eberhard, both died in Switzerland, her mother in 1842 and her father in 1874.

Research as of 2020: ELIZABETH CATHERINE BÜCHELER was the daughter of HEINRICH BÜCHELER von KLOTEN and SUSANNA EBERHARD von KLOTEN.
