Banjamin Basler/Bosler 1840's Cobden, Illinois
Hi there,
I am looking for any additional information someone may have on my great-great-grandfather Banjamin Basler.It is possible that it may have been spelled Benjamin, and Bosler with an 'o' rather than an 'a'.
The family story is that he arrived in New York from Baden Baden, Germany with two brothers.One brother headed out to San Francisco, the other stayed in New York and Benjamin bought a farm in Illinois.He married Barbara Clemens, with whom he had 13 children.
Any additional info someone may have on the family back in Baden Baden, the two brothers, or any of the 13 childrenwould be GREATLY appreciated.
