Peter's parents and siblings are not all known. Hopefully, thru this web page, some of the relatives will come forth.
It is known by the family that Peter was born in New York City, most likely the Bronx. He is of German ancestry and has a known brother Jacob. Per 1880 census, Peter was living in Binghamton, Broome, NY with his brother Sam'l J. Buss and family. Also, per 1880 census, Sam'l J was born in Wurttemberg, Germany.
Sometime after 1880 Peter moved from Binghamton, Broome, NY to Elmira, Chemung, NY and settled down until his death.
According to family Peter spoke high German. He was a cigar maker by trade. His brother, who they believe was Jacob, was a tailor by trade.
