I apologize for what I know this is a poorly phrased question, the type I generally hate, but can anyone tell me anything more about Jacob Newmyer (et. var.), supposedly, ca. 1734-84. Hamilton, p172, mentions the Stony Creek congregation at Brothers Valley Twp, with original membership consisting of the families of, Rev. George Adam Martin and wife, Henry Roth and wife and daughter, Henry Roth, jr. and wife, George Newmoyer, Philip Oswald and wife and daughter, Abraham Gebel and wife, Philip Kimmel and wife, Mr. Widdebarger and wife. This church is the offspring of Ephrata (Hamilton, citing; vol.1 - PA, p89, Edwards, Morgan. "Materials Toward a History of the American Baptists," Phila, PA: 1770). I suspect Jacob is related to George Newmoyer, but have little evidence of this. I found that on 5 Jul 1762, a Jacob Nighmyer, took out a survey warrant for 150 acres in Antrim Twp, about the same time Henry Rhoads and George Martin did. This land was surveyed for Jacob Neighmier in 1766, so appearently he was vested in the land and it was patented in 1796 by Nicholos Beedinger, so he did not remain on the land, or died there and the land was sold. His son Peter Newmyer (the only child I'm aware of) married in 1783 to Susannah Rhoads, the daugher of Henry Rhoads and Elizabeth Stoner mentioned above. So, I have what I think are a few associations with members of the Stony Creek Congregation, but no direct evidence of, or knowledge of when he died and what his connection to George might be.
