Oscar von Roggenbucke Descendants

Oskar von Roggenbucke (1811-Jan.1883), soldier, farmer, born in Warnstadt, close to Braunschweig. Attained the rank of major in the Prussian army, but in 1848 resigned his commission to join in the Revolution. He came to Texas in 1854 as a political refugee and settled, after a sojourn in New Braunfels, on a farm near Comfort, Texas, where he remained for the rest of his life. During the Civil War he showed his sympathies for the Union side; his two step sons joined a group of Germans who set out for Mexico with the intention of joining the Northern fighting forces, but both lost their lives before the troop reached Mexico.

Edgar and Otto Holekamp are children of Daniel Holekamp.

I found Joseph von Roggenbucke on a Cemetery list in Comfort/Kendall/Tx

Sources are the death records from Comfort/Kendall County and from Genealogy of the Holekamp Family with at least one member of the von Roggenbucke Family and another Holekamp Genealogy page. Some data are crosschecked by LDS data. Other datas are only available by online query the database of rootsweb. The most valuable information is from Minnie Stubbs.

Found in a forum that Helena, the wife of Edgar von Roggenbucke had the last name of Goetz instead of von Kotzebue. My source for this is this info.
