Yes, isn't that interesting, how my great-great-grandmother, Rhoda Burrey, was the granddaughter of Jacob Burry (1785-1850) who was born in Switzerland and immigrated to America in about 1818.
Years ago I was made aware of the Ancestry account of Candace Peebles, who kindly shared her tree with me. Her tree somehow connects to us through the Burreys. It is complicated. I cannot remember their connection off the top of my head, which Burrey, but I will try to find the connection, maybe I will find that again someday. They have all the Barths listed in their family tree thanks to the Burrey connection. I am not sure how the "e" crept in to the name spelling.
And Jacob Burry's son, Jacob Burry (1815-1879) married Mary Ann Carr from Prussia, who, someone was trying to paint a picture of her as a bad girl because there is no information about how she ran away from Prussia, and who was her escort or chaperone during her travels to America. And I have no answers to such questions, only that Rhoda Burrey was one of their 11 children.
