• Notes

  Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890 John (son of John, son of Gr. Meyer) was the eldest son of the family and was born March 3, 1745; died June 15. 1812. His wife Catharine, was born, Oct. 1747 ; died Oct. 11, 1825. Both are buried in the Mühlbach cemetery. His wife was a daughter of Alexander Schaeffer, the founder of Schaefferstown, Lebanon County, Penna., and a sister of Anna Maria Schaeffer, who was married to Christopher Meyer of Campbellstown, Lebanon Co., Penna. John was a nephew of Christopher and great-grandfather Jacob Meyer. I have already stated in another place that he settled up his father's estate, and that he had purchased the old homestead from his brother and sisters. Michael, a grandson, states that John was a teamster in the Revolutionary War. These few facts were given by Michael (just named) and John of Mühlbach and George of Dauphin, Pa., all grandsons and very old men (1883). There were seven children, four sons and three daughters. John Moyer will dated Sept. 23, 1811. Probated Aug. 24, 1812. Dauphin Co. C.H. Will abstract C-259 (DCHS). This information comes from the Ancestry database: Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Mennonite Vital Records 1750-2014. From a reference card for John Loudermilch; Barbara Moyer, dau. John-Catherine.
