Hi, We may be tied into the same family line that originated in Chester County, PA about 1720? As the old story goes, there were three brothers: Samuel, Hans, and Martin. The information comes from a book from The American Boyers, Volume 3. It is chapter BA, and is about 300 pages long. I have not verify most of the information, but most of my family line in on my web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cabyers/ Please let me know if I can help.
