GENEALOGY OF THE MEYER FAMILY by Henry Meyer, 1890

Henry, married to Sarah Miller. He was born Jan. 28, 1815; died Nov. 1, 1881. His wife was born Jan. 1, 1819. Henry owned the old homestead and his widow and two sons reside there now (1883). I visited there several times during the Summer of 1883, and received many facts for this sketch from the widow and from papers which she kindly permitted me to examine. It was she who gave me the information about the original buildings near the spring. Her husband's grandmother, Catharine (Schaeffer) Meyer, used to say that the buildings had been put up by the "old folks", that is, by the Meyers who came from Germany. (See page 18.) Charles M. Zerba, Esq., of Lebanon, Pa., writes me, June 25, 1888, that the farm which had been in possession of the Meyers so many generations, has at last passed into other hands, J. Monroe Zimmerman now owning it. See note, page 15. But this does not include the whole of the original tract, only the eastern part or half. Children : Sarah, married to Uriah Kryder ; Henry, married Clarissa Dissinger, great-granddaughter of the Schaefferstown Christopher Meyer. Henry was born March 3, 1850, died Feb. 25, 1886. He and his brother Thomas lived on the old farm at the spring and were the last Meyer owners of it. Ida Christina, married to John Achey, lives at Lebanon. Pa.; Thomas, married Celicia Strickler.

GENEALOGY OF THE MEYER FAMILY by Henry Meyer, 1890

John (John, John, Gr. Meyer) was married, first, to Lizzie Strickler, 2nd, to Christina Lise. He owned the old Mühlbach home after his brother Michael. Died, May 9, 1851, aged seventy-two and one-half years about. Lies buried at the Mühlbach church.

ISSUE, FIRST WIFE—LIZZIE STRICKLER:
1. George, married, first Lizzie Becker, second, Leah Stoucher. He was born in 1804 at Mühlbach and was raised there. At present (1883) he lives at Dauphin, north of Harrisburg, Pa., where his sons carry on a butcher shop. I visited him in the Spring of 1883 and received from him many facts in relation to the Meyers of his branch of the family. Children: Rebecca, married Ed. Ebach; John, dec’d, married Sarah Smith. (These were children of the first wife, Lizzie Becker.) The following were children of the second wife: George, married to Margaret Haney; Henry; Michael; William, — had been a soldier in the late war; Noah; Catharine, married to John Walters; Sarah, married to Mr. Glouch.
2. Catharine, married to John Witters.
3. John, married to Magdalena Meyer, a daughter of the Schaefferstown Christopher Meyer, and consequently, a grand-daughter of John Henry Meyer. (See pages 30-32.) He lives on the western part of the old Mühlbach tract. I visited him in the Fall of 1883 and received considerable information for these pages from the family. He was born in 1808 or 1809, and is still living, Nov. 1889. His wife is dead. Children : — John H., born 1835, married to Amanda Robinson, lives also on the old Mühlbach tract. William H.

4. Michael, was born Nov. 19, 1810; is married to Lucy Ann Krall. The family lives about one and a half miles south-west of the Miihlbaeh homestead. Michael is a pleasant and intelligent gentleman, and is quite well posted on Meyer history. He is of short stature, as most of his great-grandfather John's descendants are. He says, we call the Campbellstown Meyers (Christopher's sons) the "big Meyers". He remembers how, when he was a boy, the Pennsvalley (Centre County) Meyers used to send hounds in boxes to his father. All the Meyers of that period were hunters. I visited the family twice in 1883.
