Notes - info from The Meyer Family Tree compiled by John D. Meyer, Tyrone, PA, October 1937
Married Esther Burkholder and moved to Freeburg in 1801.
[1] - From the Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
John (son of Christopher son of Gr. Meyer), familiarly known as "big John", emigrated from Campbellstown to a farm near Freeburg, Pa., in 1801, a year after his brother Christopher settled there. John, as his nickname implies, was a very large man and possessed great physical strength, but was good-natured. He and his cousin Henry (grand-father) were the most prominent figures in the "racket" between the Meyers and Hartleys at Middleburg, Pa., on a certain occasion. It is said he often visited his brothers and cousins in Centre County. In his time the ties of loyalty to the 'clan' were stronger than seems to be the case now. His wife's maiden name was Esther Burkholder. He died July 17, 1842; lies buried at Freeburg. There were ten children, six sons and four daughters. [3]
