Thank you for this information. I'm happy to have ANYTHING on Daniel. I have just discovered he was the brother to my great great grandfather Paul Nathan from NC to Orange Co. IN to Edgar Co. IL. I would like to know anything you can find. Where in IN was Gabriel Heady born? Any chance he traveled from the MOYER stop in Orange Co. IN? A large group of MOYER, MOCK, BROTHER, FESTERMAN, PIPPEN (my great great grandmother's line) moved from Cabarrus Co. NC to Orange Co. IN, then to Edgar Co. IL and some to Pike Co. IL. Then some went to MO and Daniel to Iowa. Hard to imagine that much travel back then. I feel so lucky today. I just began this search..now I have your information. I also just received this: From: "Karen Jarvis" <karenj@kdsi.net> THE 1882 HISTORY OF DAVIS COUNTY IOWA : The town of Monterey, in this township, was laid off and surveyed March 14, 1851, by J. W> Ellis, county surveyor, and is located on the nw qr of the ne qr of section 33, township 68, range 15; on land originally belonging to Daniel Moyer. It has a post-office, and does quite a large business, and is one of the oldest towns in the county. This is all the book mentions about any Moyer. Karen --------- So this is probably where your relative lived. Where are you..do you live in Iowa? I'm in Indiana. Thanks again for your data. Please..If you find ANYTHING else..let me know!!
