Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Burgner Family, in the United States of America, as Descended From Peter Burgner, a Swiss Emigrant of 1734 The object in writing the following pages has been to preserve, in convenient form for reference, a brief sketch of the early history of that branch of the Burgner family and connections descended from Peter Burgner, a Swiss emigrant, who came to America about the year 1734, and by giving in chronological order all the family records of his descendants that could be obtained, to furnish materials for future biographers, and enable all of us to solve more readily such questions of dates, descent, kinship, heredity or inheritance as may arise in our future history. The work of collecting materials for this record was begun many years ago, but the more difficult task of selecting, arranging and writing up what was deemed worthy of preservation, has been necessarily delayed from time to time through the pressure of other cares and long continued ill health.
