GENEALOGY OF THE MORR FAMILY. by Calvin Moyer page 71
CHAPTER IV.
ANNA MARGARET MORR AND DESCENDANTS.
Anna Margaret Morr was the second daughter of Andrew Morr. She was born August 20, 1759; died near Petersburg, Centre county, Pa., March 12, 1829. She was married to Philip Meyer* about the year 1780. He was born November 11, 1755; died near Petersburg, Pa., April 27, 1831. The respective family histories of the Morrs and Meyers have been running in parallel streams for over a century with frequent intermingling of their branches all along their course. The first marriage is the one mentioned above, but as stated in the opening chapter of the volume, there was a John Morr who married Elizabeth Meyer, daughter of John Meyer, at an earlier period. Some suppose that this John Morr and Andrew Morr, Anna Margaret's father were brothers. Anna Margaret lies buried by the side of her husband in the Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery at Petersburg. A brown sandstone marks their resting place. The writer visited their graves at twilight on September 7, 1892. A number of the Meyer family lie buried here, but none of Anna Margaret's descendants. The descendants of this family are numerous and are all in the Western States, principally in Ohio and Iowa.
**Philip Meyer was heavy built, muscular and active, but not as tall as his brothers. He was a noted wrestler in his day, and was not averse to contests of a more serious nature, as his numerous experiments in that line seem to demonstrate. But, that was in an age when physical power was at a premium. The man who could leap the greatest distance, could kick the highest and hit the harest blows was a hero and received the applause of society. There was a vast amount of hard work to do in those pioneer days, and for want of labor-saving machinery, it had to be accomplished by sheer physical force. Hence, any exercise which tended to muscular development, or exhibited physical vigor in its greatest perfection, was cherished and applauded. Philip served in the Revolutionary War. being a member of Capt. Ben Weiser"s Company. Adam Schaffer was Lieutenant of the Company, and subsequently became captain by promotion. On his return from the army. Philip settled down to domestic life near Freeburg for a number of years, thence moved to Brush Valley, Centre county, Pa. This was about the year 1802. He located on a tract of land consisting of 309 acres, about a mile east of the present post village of Wolf’s Store, and five miles south of the headwaters of Elk Creek. This tract he bought from John George and Philip Morr, executors of their father’s estate, May 1, 1816. Mr. Meyer was of a liberal disposition, kind to his family generous to his neighbors, and a useful citizen in his township. For many years, he was Supervisor of Miles township, serving in that capacity in 1815, when the public road from Wolf's Store across the mountains to Penn'a Valley was made. He was a consistent member of the Reformed Church, and embraced religion in his declining days, and died a happy Christian. — Meyer Genealogy. Vol. I, Pages 42, 43.

Notes:

From Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer. 1890.
Philip (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was married to Margaret Morr, sister of his brother John Jacob's wife Julia, daughters of Andrew Morr, one of the early settlers in the region where Freeburg, Pa., is now located. The respective family histories of the Meyers and Morrs have been running in parallel streams for over a century with frequent intermingling of their branches all along their course. The first record of marriage between the two families is that of Philip Meyer and Margaret Morr, which occurred about the year 1780 ; and the members of the families still continue to intermarry in Ohio. Philip was the oldest of the sons ; heavy built, muscular and active, but not as tall as his brothers. He was a noted wrestler in his day, and was not averse to contests of a more serious nature, as his numerous experiments in that line seem to demonstrate. But that was in an age when physical power was at a premium. The man who could leap the greatest distance, could kick the highest and hit the hardest blows was a hero and received the applause of society. There was a vast amount of hard work to do in those pioneer days, and for want of labor-saving machinery; it had to be accomplished by sheer physical force. Hence, any exercise which tended to muscular development, or exhibited physical vigor in its greatest perfection, was cherished and applauded. - Philip served in the Revolutionary War, being a member of Capt. Ben. Weiser's company. Adam Schaeffer was Lieutenant of the company, and subsequently became captain by promotion.

Note. - Andrew Morr came from Germany, and settled near the present site of Freeburg, Pa., sometime prior to 1770. He took up a large tract of land and improved it. There was erected on his farm a stockade for protection against the Indians. He and Jacob Meyer were near neighbors, and both pioneers in the new country. Morr was a prominent member of the Lutheran Church; and a man of influence in his neighborhood. He died in 1805, and is buried at Freeburg, Pa. There were seven children. I copy a partial list from a sketch prepared by Miss Mary E. Morr, West Salem, 0., for a Reunion of the Morr family, June 9, 1887. Of the seven children, Miss Morr names only four, viz: -
I. George, oldest child; died in 1818; buried at Aaronsburg, Pa. Married to Catharine Diefenbach. Had been a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Moved to Centre County, Pa., in 1792. Had twelve children : - George, Philip, Peter, Mary, Andrew, Elizabeth, John, Adam, Michael, Daniel, Benjamin, Samuel. All but Adam moved to Ohio.
II. Philip, lived at Freeburg; died in 1826. John Jacob was one of his sons.
III. Margaret, born August 20, 1759; died March 12, 1829. Married Philip Meyer.
IV. Julian, born July 18, 1770; died Nov. 8, 1824. Married John Jacob Meyer.
