The 5th child of Hanss Peter jr. and Catharina, Eberhard Buecklin was born in Weil on 15 Dec 1710. He lost his father while a toddler of 1 year and 4 months.
His mother, Catharina, remarried about a year later, to a dispatch rider or landbote, named Carle Matthes. Catharina died 15 May 1749, followed by Carle about 6 months later. Young Eberhard started working for Joachim Hoss. Joachim earned his living as a kramer, or travelling merchant or pedlar of goods.
Eberhard would marry Margaretha, daughter of Joachim Hoss and his wife Anna Barbara Burkhardt on 3 Nov 1739 in Weil. Margaretha had been born 20 Feb 1720 in Weil.
The first 6 of the 9 sons born to Eberhard and Margaretha were born in Germany.

The family sailed to America, likely between 1753 - 1754. They probably left from Rotterdam, arriving at New York or Philadelphia. An agent for the VanRensselaers met them. In return for their labours as tenant farmers on Rensselaer Manor, near present-day Albany, New York, their passage was paid for.

The Buercklins settled near Altamont, under the Helleberg ecarpment, which rises over 1000 feet above the surroundind plain. The "old Showdy farm", later known as the Barkley farm, can be located on a 1767 map of the Rensselaer manor section of Albany Co., just east of Altamont, on the north side of the Great Western Road.

The Buercklins had three sons born in America:
7. Andreas, born 30 Nov 1756
8. Michael, born 17 May 1758
9. Johann Peter, born 24 Apr 1760, married Delia Spaarbeck
