General Notes: Husband - George Buehler


He received a good English and German education at the celebrated Moravian school at Lititz, Pennsylvania, and was subsequently brought up to mercantile pursuits. He was commissioned by Gov. Mifflin justice of the peace for Lebanon township, December 3, 1799. The year following, under the auspices of the Harrisburg and Presqu' Isle land company, he removed to Erie, Pennsylvania, and was appointed in August, 1801, by President Jefferson, collector of the 18th collection district of Pennsylvania. Mr. Buehler took a prominent part in the affairs connected with the early organization of Erie County. At his residence, on the 2d of April, 1803, that county was organized for judicial purposes. He was a member of the first council of the town of Erie in 1806, and in 1808 and 1809 was borough burgess. He was one of the first to aid in developing the Lake Erie trade, forseeing at that early day the advantages of that magnificent port of the lakes. In 1811-2 he was a member of the Erie Light Infantry, Captain Forster, which was in active service during a portion of that period. In 1812, owing probably to the war troubles on the frontiers, he came to Harrisburg, and took charge of the "Golden Eagle."
