Hi Beth, I'd be happy to exchange notes, but like you I don't have many notes on Moyers/Myers. I think I'm starting to make some grudging progress on this family, but it's very, very iffy right now. Right now I believe Catherine was the daughter of George Moyers (whom I have deceased ca. 1864, probably in Fayette Co., PA). This George Moyers married Veronica (Franny) Thomas, who was the d/o Michael Thomas and Magdalena Maust. George who d. 1864, was the son of George, Sr., Moyers and I know even less about him. According to Bittinger, p435, In 1835 Geo. Moyer was elected deacon of the Sandy Creek Congregation (Brethren), and in 1836 George Moyer was chosen as a speaker of the church. p438, In 1850, George Moyer, from some cause, left the church and attached himself to the fraternity known as the Shoemakers, he being a minister at the time. ... In 1861, George Moyer came back to the church (Brethren) again and in 1864 George Moyer died. According to Gingerich, p457 Veronica (Franey, or Fanny), d/o Michael Thomas, m. George Moyer (no date or location known), but provides no further information on this family. I believe the following two census records pertain to George Moyer and Veronica's family: 1820 Wharton Twp, Fayette Co, PA (M33-103, p173), ln2. George Myers 221101-22010 (ln4 Jacob Most, ln5 Richard Hall, ln7 Michael Thomas, ln8 Samuel Myers, ln9 Joseph Markley) 1830 Henry Clay Twp, Fayette Co, PA (M19-162), p165, ln8 George Myers 1m5-10, 1m10-15, 1m15-20, 1m50-60, 2f10-15, 1f40-50. (ln3 Michael Thomas; ln6 Isaac Myers; ln10 John Fyke; ln12 Isaac Humble; ln15 Jacob Most; ln16 Samuel Myers) I have one other daughter of George Moyers and Veronica; Sarah Moyers, who married Daniel Umbel, but I don't have any dates for birth, marriage or death of Sarah either (I can provide some guesstimates, but that's about it) Sources: Bittinger, Emmert F., "Allegheny Passage: Churches and Families, West Marva District, Church of the Brethren, 1752-1990", Camden, ME: Penobscot Press, 1990. (Bittinger, citing; an article written by M. J. Thomas of Sandy Creek, published on March 7, 1876 in the "Primitive Christian," vol.1, no.10). Gingerich, Hugh F. and Rachel W. Kreider, "Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies", (Gordonville, PA: Pequea Pub., 1986), p457 (TH55 Veronica Thomas), Veronica (Franey, or Fanny), d/o Michael Thomas. ------------------------------------ 10/6/2006, [email protected] writes: I am related to the Moyers family. My 2nd great grandfather was Jacob M(e)yers, (grandson of George Moyers), b. 1787 and d. 1871. His daughter, Frances Ann married Isaac Turney. One of their sons was William Newton Turney, my mom's dad. William was born in Selbysport 10 Oct 1884 and died 28 Jun 1938. I've some other information, but not much and am hoping we can compare notes to help each other out. blessings cousin Beth ------------------------------------ [email protected] wrote: I was hoping someone might have seen evidence when the following couple died (burial, bible record, family record, probate, etc). Right now they appear to have been kidnapped by aliens shortly after the census was taken. Isaac Umbel, was b. 28 Feb 1809 Wharton Twp, Fayette Co, PA, and married abt. 1835 to Catherine Moyers. They spent the majority of their lives in the Garrett Co, MD area, and died aft. 1880 when they were listed in the census for the 2nd Dist. (Selbysport), Garrett Co, MD. Regards, Glen Swartz
