I am seeking information on an early family of Losantiville and Cincinnati by the name of Beghtol or Bechtel, which may have also been known under the names Bechtle, Pectol,  Peshal or Pestle.  Legend has it that in about 1776, just after the Revolution, three brothers came from Germany and settled in the area where Cincinnati now stands. One brother and his family were later in a boat which capsized in the river in which he drowned.  His wife and young children made it to shore and became the first woman and children in the settlement of Losantiville (Cincinnati), which was just being built at the time.  They were supposedly given land that is now in the central part of Cincinnati.

I am looking for any information on this family.  Henry and Sophia were in the 1850 Hamilton County census along with their first son, Henry (William).  In 1860 they appeared again and had two more daughters, Mary and Caroline.  In the 1870 census the children were living on their own along with two new brothers, John and Charles.  Charles in the youngest, born 1866.  Something happened to Henry and Sophia between 1866 and 1870, but I can not locate anything on them other than these census records. 

Their son, Harry (William or August depending on which census) moved to Indiana around 1890 and is the father of my great grandfather.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Armstrong

Searching for information on William F. Armstrong and wife, Roxanna (Thompson). Sons were: William Alexander, Nelson, George and David T. The whole family was in the Civil War.
They all were living in Anderson Township, Hamilton County, Ohio in 1870. My missing link in my family tree is that I do not know who William F. Armstrong's parents are.
Hope someone can help.

I should be grateful for any further information about Edwin Bouchard b 1833, Alfred b 1828 or their parents Peter and Sarah (nee Robelou) Bouchard They and other members of the family migrated from London to Cincinnati and Columbia, Hamilton County, Ohio in the 1850's. During the Civil War, Edwin was first a member of Benton Cadets but, after that unit was disbanded, enlisted in M Company, 5th Ohio Cavalry, 19 September 1862 - to join, I believe, a nephew, John who was a bugler. Edwin spent many years in Dayton National Soldiers Home to die and be buried in the Cemetery there in 1911.
