Michael Myers was born on 20 March 1765 in Mill Creek, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. He and Agnes Buchtel were married. He died on 5 August 1843, at age 78, in Stark County, Ohio. He was buried in Old Lutheran Cemetery (Defunct), Uniontown (Stark County), Stark County, Ohio.

Michael Myers was also known as Meyer. BUSHONG BULLETIN

THE BUCHTEL FAMILY By Henry Meyer, in THE PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN, December
1907, Volume 8, Pages 589-594.

The following information concerns the descendants of John and Catharine
Buchtel who died c1808-09 in Stark County, Ohio. It appears quite likely that
the ELIZABETH BUSHONG mentioned below probably belongs to the family of
JOHN BUSHONG of Lake Township, Stark County, Ohio, about whom we have
previously written.



Agnes, wife of Michael Myers, d. 23 April 1852, aged 86y 5m 23d and is
buried at the Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery, Lake Township, Stark County, OH.

About the year 1812 Buchtel's widow and all the surviving children,
except two of the daughters, moved to Stark county, Ohio, and settled at or
near the present site of Uniontown. Michael Meyer, a son-in-law, followied in
1814 and located at the same place. Several of the Buchtel children died
young and are buried somewhere on the old homestead farm near Rbersburg.

JOHN BUCHTEL'S DESCENDANTS

The writer has not made any special effort to trace the successive
generations of Mr. Buchtel's sons, only those of three of the daughters
intermarried with persons whose genealogies were written up by him several years
ago. The descendants of these are numerous and a history of them would fill
a small volume.
There were nine children, four sons and five daughters.

VI. Agnes Buchtel married Michael Meyer. The family lived at Straubstown
now Freeburg, Snyder county, PA, until 1805, when they moved to Brush Valley,
Center county, and took up their abode in a small log cabin within a
quarter of a mile of the Buchtel homestead. Soon afterwards Mr. Meyer built a
more substantial house, in which the family lived until 1814, when they again
loaded their wagons and emigrated to Ohio. Mr. Meyer purchased a tract of
nine hundred acres at a place later known as Uniontown, but now called
Lake, in Stark County. At a later period Summit county was formed, taking in a
part of the territory of Stark, and Mr. Meyer's possessions fell into the
new county near the line. As already stated, the Buchtel families had
settled in the same neighborhood several years earlier. The descendants of this
couple are numerous and are scattered over half a dozen of the Western
States.
Agnes was born 1 December 1766, and died 23 April 1852. Mr. Meyer, her
husband, was born 20 March 1765, and died 5 August 1843. Both lie buried in
the Old Union cemetery. Issue (surnamed Meyer), eight sons, five daughters:
1. Henry , born 12 November 1788, died 6 December 1874; married Elizabeth
Bushong.
2. Sophia, born 15 August 1790, died 1 October 1840; married Benjamin
Pontius.
3. Michael, born 20 May 1792, died 14 November 14 1868; married Elizabeth
Noll
4. Elizabeth, born 6 April 1794, married Henry Buchtel, son of John
Buchtel, her cousin, and died 20 September 1843.
5. Jacob, born 1 April 1796, died 10 March 1859, married Catharine Buchtel
(see above)
6. Barbara, born 25 October 1798, died 23 March 1868; married John K.
Bowers.
7. Christopher, born 10 November 1800, died 24 May 1880; married Catharine
Spade.
8. Joshua, born 12 October 1802, died 9 March 1840; married Barbara Frank.
9. John B. born 23 March 1805, died 27 February 1872; married twice, first
to Sarah Yearick, second to Ann Gass.
10. Mary, born 25 March 1807, died about the year 1889; married Samuel
Spade, brother of Catharine Spade, wife of Mary's brother, Christopher.

cousin Rosina, daughter of Peter Buchtel.
