The Bauman Family of Puslinch and area
|
This birth of this "new" generation led to the consistent use of the spelling change from Bauman to Bowman. Joseph Bauman and "Fanny" Steffler Joseph, Fanny and son Anthony (click to enlarge) Joseph was born in the state of Ohio or Pennsylvania in 1818-1819. He came to Canada with his mother and father in about 1824 residing in Waterloo first(1826) and then Puslinch (1833-1877). On Dec.31, 1839 he was married to Franciska Veronica Steffler (marriage record). They lived the rest of their lives on Lot 28 Con.7 (land record) (map) in Puslinch (1841 onward). "Fanny" was the daughter of Anthony Steffler and Catherine Fritz. If you travel east on the Brock Rd., past Paddock's Corners you will come to a tee intersection which is Concession 7. If you turned right, the farm would be the 1st on the left ( Lot 28). The 401 Highway now runs through the back of this property. It was considered one of the best mixed farms in the Puslinch area. The original farmhouse was abandoned and the new house was built in the early 1900's. Franciska Veronica Steffler was born Dec. 19,
1818 in Kaidenbourg, Bas Rhin, France. (Steffler Origins).
She died on May 18,1900 and is buried with Joseph. Burials in the Marian Cemetery just outside of Morriston started in at least 1868. There is a map dated 1868 with the present location of the cemetery listed on the map. A Kelly stone located in the grave yard lists the death date as 1859 so perhaps burials started earlier. Joseph and Fanny's headstone is one of the few remaining markers. Alex Ochs owned the present property of the Cemetery in 1845 so it is conceivable that burials started around that time on his property.
