- Ten Children. All live in Iowa.
From Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer
pages 47, 48
John (Philip. Jacob, Gr. Meyer) married Sept. 21, 1821 to Mary M. Gast, daughter of Christian Gast, who at one time lived on the farm now owned by Samuel Gramly, Brushvalley, Centre Co., Pa. The family moved from Pennsylvania to Marion County, 0., in 1833, thence to Scott County, Iowa,
May 9, 1851, where they purchased a large tract of land. I remember seeing John, who paid a visit to Pennsylvania sometime before the late War. He was not very tall, but heavy set. He was born Oct. 15, 1794; died Jan. 23, 1872.
His wife was born March 21, 1803; died Oct. 19, 1853. I am indebted to Mr. J. L. Gast, son-in-law of Mr. Meyer for list of children (1884). Beside the children here named two had died in infancy. I believe all of John's descendants live in Iowa. Two of John's sisters, Elizabeth and Margaret
were married to Gasts — brothers of his wife.
