• Notes

  GENEALOGY OF THE MEYER FAMILY by Henry Meyer, 1890 Barbara (daughter of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was married to Michael Motz. The family lived at the east end of Pennsvalley, Centre County, Pa. Samuel Motz. a grandson, owns part of the farm now (1889). Barbara took care of her brother Henry (grandfather) while he had a malignant fever, of which his wife had died a short time before, and by careful attendance brought him through. See page 62. She and her husband are buried at St. Paul, near their home. I found the following record on a stone which marks the grave of Michael Motz: — "1830 Michael Motz, Alt, 85 years 23 tag." I could not decipher all of the inscription. Barbara, no doubt, lies by his side. From the Motz's old family Bible now in possession of Samuel Motz. who lives on the old homestead, I copy a list of Barbara's children. There were seven daughters and one son.
