The Pennsylvania-German magazine, Vol. VIII, published in Lebanon, PA in 1907, pp. 589-594 has John the son of Peter and Margaret (Kreamer) Buchtel.
"Peter married Margaret Kreamer, sister of Abraham Kreamer, who was married to Peter's sister, Maria Buchtel. Peter lived on the farm later owned by the Jonathan Walker heirs, about one and one half miles southwest of Rebersburg. A member of the Buchtel family in Akron, Ohio, sent the following sketch of him several years ago:
Peter Buchtel settled on what is now the John Kepler farm, near East Liberty, in 1816. Summit County at that time was an almost unbroken wilderness. The nearest trading-place was Canton, 18 miles away, whither supplies were brought from Pittsburgh in wagons. To Canton members of the Buchtel family had to go whenever they wanted anything from a plug of tobacco to a hogshead of molasses. Peter Buchtel was a great hunter. He looked upon the woods in that country as his own, and it made him angry if any one settled within 5 miles of his home. He was an expert bee-hunter and kept his family well supplied with honey, as well as venison, which were two of the staple articles of food. The story connected with his death will probably never be learned. He left at the first outbreak of hostilities in the Harrison campaign and was never seen or heard of again. William Buchtel has spent considerable time and money in trying to get some trace of his grandfather, but without avail. No one was ever heard of who could throw any light on his fate."
