  • Notes 
    • From History of the Gift, Kern, Royer families:
      John George and Elizabeth Royer had several sons, all of whom died in infancy excepting one, Henry, (who became the owner of the Reber farm). There were three daughters: Catharine, the oldest, who was married to John Kern; Elizabeth, who was married to Jacob Gift; Christina, the third daughter, who died single, in about 1830, aged about 30 years. She was buried in the Rebersburg cemetery. [3]
    • Royer, John S., was a native of Bethel township, Berks County. He came into Brush valley in 1811, and purchased the farm now owned by his son. Col. Henry Royer, from Conrad Reber. He was born Dec. 12, 1750, and died July 30, 1820. [4]
