Notes
In the census of 1811 a child, F. Buschman, is recorded living with J. Buschman and M.E. Bijval. John may have had another christian name which was used to distinguish him from his father, John.
In June, 1827, a Surinam newspaper records an FJ Buschman leaving the colony.
If this is John, he later returned to Surinam and sired a child there in 1836.
In 1848, in the London Standard:
In April, 1850, John and Hannah's marriage record shows that John is a widower.
His father is Johann (John?) Buschman, a merchant.
Hannah's father is James Thomas Holloway, Doctor of Divinity. (Author of a number of religious books.)
The report in 'The Gentleman's Magazine' suggests that he has been living or based in Surinam and implies that he is now resident in England.
The witnesses to the marriage of John Buschman and Hannah Jane Campion Holloway, were:
C Stewart Drewry
C R Buschman (Caroline Rudolphine Buschman, John's daughter).
Although she was born in 1836 - and is only 14 years old - Caroline is, according to customs of the time, of an age to be a witness, and a good one since she will live for a long time.
Her youth balances out Charles Stewart's age of 45. Witnesses were generally of the same generation as the couple being married so that they would live as long as the marriage.
