Hi Sue,
I know that this is some 6 years after your post, but I do have a connection to Henry Wells Buer, if he was the Henry Wells Buer born in 1846. My Buer line runs from Henry Wells Buer's Great Uncle George Buer b.1782.
We have traced the family back to a Joseph Buer from Great Parndon, Essex born about 1706.
Regards
Max
