Biography

Barbara was born on the 28th of June in 1831 at Pfeddersheim, which is in the province of Worms in Germany [1]. She was the daughter of Augustus Weppner and Barbara Stumpf. She immigrated to Buffalo as a young girl of four years old .Here is a link to her with her family on the ship FRANCOIS I. She married Joseph Fougeron, a grocer from an old French Buffalo farming family. He established a grocery/market business that passed through many generations on Niagara Street in Buffalo.

They were the parents of one son, Augustus S. Fougeron, and an adopted daughter of Joseph's sister whose parents were stricken by cholera, Cornelia Doll (who sometimes goes by the name of Cornelia Fougeron).
