  • Notes 
    • Christian Burkholder, "the third son of Ulrich Burkholder, was born February 3rd, 1783. He was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Bear) Baumann. She was born July 10th, 1788, and died September 18th, 1861. They moved to Canada in 1818 and settled in the county of Waterloo, one mile north of the town of Waterloo, on the farm now possessed by Christopher Huether. This farm Mr. Burkholder purchased from Old Peter Livergood for $1200. It contained 100 acres, 25 of which were cleared, and on it were erected a small log house and a log barn. They had a family of six children"
