• Notes

  Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer John George (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) came in possession of his father's farm — the old homestead, near Freeburg, Pa., which he continued to cultivate until his death. The date of his birth I have not been able to ascertain, but it is said he was next to and older than his brother Henry, and is placed in that order on the list. He died about the year 1810, says Fred. C. Meyer, of Freeburg, Pa. His disease was consumption, caused by a cherry-seed, which accidentally lodged in his lungs. He died about a year after the occurrence of the accident. George was first married to Elizabeth Buchtel, daughter of John Buchtel. She was a sister of George's brother Michael's wife Agnes, and, also, a sister of Nicholas Bierly's wife Lucy.
