This family is prob. not of the German race and therefore has no relation to the family of Tewksbury twp. Hunterdon Co. It may be that the former is descended from the Waldenstan Francois Bonn, who came to this country about 1657. If this is so then MATTHEW, of Woodbridge, was prob. s. of CHRISTIAN and grandson of FRANCOIS and was bap. in New York, 4 April, 1659. BUSENBERRYJOHANNES (John) BOSENBERGER (Busenberry), came from the village of Sehlen, jurisdiction of Rosenkal, county of Braunfels, Germany, and was a woolen and linen weaver and the son of JOHANNE.
