From "Seneca County, Ohio Histort & Families" Compiled by the Seneca County Genealogical Society:

"BURGDERFER (Page 187)
Andrew Burgderfer, one of the early settlers of Seneca County, was born October 17, 1805 in Bavaria, Germany. According to his grandson, Miley Burgderfer, Andrew Burgderfer at age 18 and with 27 other people, left Heidelberg, Germany, on a sailing vessel to sail for America. They met with much hardship on their voyage. Their ship wrecked and they were without food. To survive, they ate raw sea gulls. By
the time they reached America, only 13 people had survived.
Andrew Burgderfer worked his way to Ohio. A Seneca County land entry record for Andrew is dated July 12, 1834. He took 80 acres of land to homestead in Seneca Township near New Riegel. The first winter he took shelter in a large hollow tree with a Jacob Staib before he was able to build a shack.
There was little food except for cornmeal and wild game. The following summer Andrew met and later married Louisa Fowlhaber. She was born February 1, 1816 in the same area of Germany. Louisa and her family came on another vessel and settled near Fostoria. Andrew and Louisa built a home and
raised a large family: Caroline (1835-1902) married Adam Sprau; Julian (1838-before 1897) married Jacob Sprau; Catherine (1840-after 1897) married Christian Sprau; Louis (1843-after 1897) married S. A. Rochey; Frank (1845-September 13, 1925) married Susan Troxel; Amalie (February 12, 1848-January 12, 1850); Wilhelm (July 27, 1850-August 18, 1850); Henry (November 12, 1851-November 8, 1949)
married Margaret Culver; John (August 27, 1854-September 28, 1912) married Alice Miley; Mary Ann (August 12, 1856-March 14, 1944) married John Culver; Andreas (October 6, 1860-December 18, 1862). Andrew was a trustee when the German Evangelical Lutheran and German Reformed Protestant
Congregation of Seneca Township was organized July 16, 1848. This church later reorganized as Salem Reformed Church. Miley Burgderfer also said that his grandfather donated money towards the establishment of Heidelberg College. Louisa died on February 6, 1885. Andrew lived on his farm until his death on December 23, 1897. John Burgderfer and wife Alice (1858-1933) continued to farm this homestead raising three children:
Hale Andrew (1883-1961), Miley John (!885-1977), and Nellie L. (1887-1933). John died September 28, 1912 when horses pulling a mowing machine spooked and started running. John was caught in the machine and killed. His son, Hale, had earlier called him to supper, but John wanted to finish the field. Hale later saw the horses and rushed to the field. Hale brought the horses under control and found his father. Hale took over the farm. Miley married Rae W. Wininger March 24, 1907, and Lora West July 16, 1960. Miley and Rae (1886-1955) moved to a farm near McCutchenville. They had four children: Karl Vinton
(1909-1964) married Evelyn May Houk May 16,1936; Charles R. (1911-1976) married Vera Bartlebaugh January 7, 1933; Helen Rae (1919) on June 14, 1945 married Francis Staib, a great, great grandson of Jacob Staib; and Robert Duane (1924) married Eileen Palmer on August 25, 1946, and Imogene Kear Stauch on June 29, 1979. Both Charles and Duane served in World War II. Andrew and Louisa, as well as a number of their decendants, are buried in Bethel Cemetery. Many of their descendants still live in Seneca County and the surrounding area. Submitted by Rosalie Burgderfer."
