- From GENEALOGY OF THE Meyer Family BY HENRY MEYER, 1890. page 89.
Michael Meyer, one of the four sons of the Meyer who came from Germany, was never married and left no offspring. If his name were placed on the list in the order of ages it should be inserted before that of his brother Christopher as he was older. But as Michael leaves no descendants to put on record it was thought best to append a brief sketch of him here. We know very little about Michael. He was associated with his brother Christopher, and it seems Alexander Schaeffer in the purchase of a large tract of land near the present site of Campbellstown, Lebanon Co., Pa., but he sold out his interest in the tract soon after, and returned to Mühlbach, and bought, it is said, the old homestead. From old documents in my possession it appears that this occurred about the year 1769. I find his name on a receipt dated 1771 and he must have been living yet at that time. It is said he was twenty some years old when he died. He must have been older.
Besides the four sons, John, Jacob, Michael and Christopher, the Meyer from Germany had either one or two daughters. They went south which is all that we know about them.
- Doing a lot of guesswork here - this findagrave link might be him. If so, we would want to link him on findagrave and add birth and death dates to our database.
