Notes - From Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
John Jacob (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was married to Julia Morr, sister of his brother Philip's wife, Margaret. See note, page 41. The family moved from near Freeburg, Pa., to Pine Creek, near Jersey Shore, Pa., where a fine tract of land was purchased. At what date Jacob removed to his new home, I could not determine, but I suppose it was about the year 1800. It is said that in physical appearance he resembled his brother Henry (grandfather); they were greatly attached to each other, and visits between them were frequent. Jacob died in 1813; his illness resulting from drinking too freely at a spring of very cold water on a certain occasion when he had been overheated while out in the woods hunting. He lies buried in the old cemetery at Pine Creek, near Jersey Shore, Pa. No tombstone marks his grave. His son, Samuel, lies buried by his side. His wife, Julia, was born July 18, 1770; died Nov. 8, 1824. The descendants of this couple reside in Clinton and Lycoming counties, Pa., principally. There were twelve children, five sons and seven daughters.
