Gale, You're right about Winchester and Frederick Co. Frederick and Augusta Co.'s were formed from Orange Co. in 1738, then Augusta divided into several others including Fincastle (now extinct), which was split into Montgomery and Washington Co.'s in 1776. Do a Google search for G. Lee Hearl for the best break down of VA counties that I've seen. Think our Peters are probably different. What other VA counties did you find for yours?

LOL, there were probably more then 3 Peters; we've seen our share of Henry's, Jacobs, Christophers, Christians, James's... they did like to overkill first names in their day, god bless um'! Chrystie MYERS P.S. Hi all! Glad to see action out here! Keep up the debates; gives me less to worry about.

Bobbye, I've been doing alot more reading, lately, regarding "landing spots" along the east coast. There were alot of settlers whom immigrated in above PA and upon arrival they immediately made their ways down into PA, as well as NJ and NY. Have you looked into these areas. Other spots could very well be MD and VA. In the mid 1600's the Thomas TODD arrived in Jamestown, only to head immediately to Baltimore County, MD. He purchased 1700 acres from the King of England prior to arrival, which many did in the 1600 and 1700's. Just a thought for ya!

Hello everyone, I've been reading the postings with great interest since my Moyers line is also Lincoln Co., and Pope Co. My gggrandmother was Catherine Moyers daughter of George and Polly Windle Moyers. Susan

A reply posted to a message on the Moyers Board. I too have knowledge of two Peters in Lincoln Co. TN - Peter Sr. and Peter Jr. I believe Peter Sr. b. 1752 to be the father of my Jacob (b. 1805 m. to Lettice Coulter in 1839 in Cane Hill Arkansas), as well as Samuel m. to Phelps, Peter Jr. (age 30-40 in the 1830 census), George and Henry. Yes, I am suggesting that there were 3 Peters -that the above Peter Sr.'s father was Peter the immigrant b. 1727 in Germany and that this Peter the immigrant died in Berks Co. PA, Bethel Township, 1787, shortly after the Revolutionary War and was never in Lincoln Co. TN. I've never seen any actual records that indicate 1727 Peter served in the Revolutionary War. The only records that I have ever seen or read about have belonged to Peter Sr. b. 1752 ,PA. They can be found, among other places, in Pennsylvania Archive 5th Series, Volume 5 pp. 150, 183, 185, 205, 235, 265, 285. These records in Berks Co. indicate his (Peter b. 1752) brothers may have been: George; Phillip; Jocob; Nicholas; Michael; John; and Henry. I've also never seen any thing that would indicate that immigrant Peter b. 1727 was ever in Lincoln Co. TN? It seems that the 1820 census records are referring to Peter Sr. b. 1752 and his sons. I believe that there is enough evidence to suggest that the stories, family traditions, etc. were about Peter Sr. b. 1752 in Berks Co. PA (not Germany) who served in the revolution, who had children born between 1785 - 1805, and who died in 1844 in Lincoln Co. TN not about his father, Peter the immigrant b. ca. 1727 in Germany. Gale ( 1727 Peter > 1752 Peter > 1805 Jacob > 1844 William Alexander who served with his brother James in the Civil War > 1893 Laura A. Moyers - my grandmother)

Thanks Gale, My Jacob died in Jackson Co., Georgia circa 1808. I have not been able to find the ship he came over on. Lore has him landing in Pa., but I can't find him there or anywhere else until he serves in the Rev. War militia in South Carolina. Bobbye

Katie, I checked and Winchaster should have been Winchester since there doesn't seem to be a Winchaster VA! Winchester is in Frederick Co. VA. OLD FREDERICK COUNTY, represents or includes 12 present-day counties, 7 of which are now in West Virginia. Gale

Katie, The 1770 and 1777 Peters are new to me. From 1752 Peter's pension application, he states that in 1793, he removed to Winchaster VA where he lived for 23 years (until 1816). Is Winchaster in Montgomery or Wythe County? (should that be Winchester - I should look). In one line of some research done by a cousin, there's a mention of possibly 10 children for 1752 Peter probably born between 1785 - 1805. I've only seen 5 possible sons, Jacob, Peter Jr., Samuel, Henry and George mentioned. I have no wives names until my Jacob b. 1805 who, by the way, named his first daughter b. 1840, Catherine.

Bobbye, Besides the Lincoln Co. TN Jacob Moyers (pronounced Myers in my family) I also have a Jacob Myers b. in Germany who came to America before the revolution. (Both are ancestors of the same grandmother - one on her father's side and one on her mother's side) Jacob Myers was married to Lydia Hindenburg in Germany. They ended up in Clinton Co. KY. Your Jacob Myers didn't end up in Clinton Co. KY, did he? I have no idea where in Germany either line came from. Maybe someone else does.

Gale, RMD, et al. I shall just have to jump into the discussion here. Seems like Peters need sorting out. Lets put our heads together. I have three Peters in Montgomery / Wythe Co VA which are likely suspects in fathering my ggg Grandmother Catharine Myers/Moyers b. 1792-1796 in SW VA or NC. I have some information on them. Will have to look up where I got the details, if I can ever remember where I saved it. I have these, could be more than three, sorry to say: Peter b 1751 on 1782 Montgomery Co VA Tax List Peter b 1770 Peter b 1777 Do any of you have one of your Peter's married to a Catherine, who are recorded as parents of a Catherine baptised at St. Pauls Lutheran Church at Rural Retreat VA (Montgomery>Wythe Co VA) in 1797? There is a url for that church... check your search engines or the New River site for a link. Also have at least one Peter in Carter Co. TN. More later, and thats that for now.

Sorry for the confusion. I've never posted on the Moyers-L before even though all my posts to the Moyers board keep popping up here. I too have knowledge of two Peters in Lincoln Co. TN - Peter Sr. and Peter Jr. I believe Peter Sr. b. 1752 to be the father of my Jacob (b. 1805 m. to Lettice Coulter in 1839 in Cane Hill Arkansas), as well as Samuel m. to Phelps, Peter Jr. (age 30-40 in the 1830 census), George and Henry. Yes, I am suggesting that there were 3 Peters -that the above Peter Sr.'s father was Peter the immigrant b. 1727 in Germany and that this Peter the immigrant died in Berks Co. PA, Bethel Township, 1787, shortly after the Revolutionary War and was never in Lincoln Co. TN. I've never seen any actual records that indicate 1727 Peter served in the Revolutionary War. The only records that I have ever seen or read about have belonged to Peter Sr. b. 1752 ,PA. They can be found, among other places, in Pennsylvania Archive 5th Series, Volume 5 pp. 150, 183, 185, 205, 235, 265, 285. These records in Berks Co. indicate his (Peter b. 1752) brothers may have been: George; Phillip; Jocob; Nicholas; Michael; John; and Henry. I've also never seen any thing that would indicate that immigrant Peter b. 1727 was ever in Lincoln Co. TN? It seems that the 1820 census records are referring to Peter Sr. b. 1752 and his sons.

I can find no proof that immigrant Peter b. 1727 was ever in Lincoln Co. TN. One researcher (not on line) found that immigrant Peter died in Bethel Township, Berks Co. PA in 1787. To me, it looks as if 1752 Peter b. in Bucks Co. s/o immigrant Peter b. 1720's Germany is the one that came to Lincoln Co. ca. 1818 with his son Peter Jr. and the one that lived to be "old" in Lincoln Co. (listed in the 1830 census, 70 - 80). He also seems a more likely candidate to be the father of Jacob, Samuel, Henry, and Peter Jr. (born in the 1780's - 1805) than immigrant Peter. Do you have a record of immigrant Peter (b. 1727) having been in the Revolutionary War or having been in Lincoln Co.? I've only been able to find Peter Sr.'s (b. 1752 s/o immigrant Peter) record. Gale

This Peter, had sons, John, Peter, Henry, Samuel, and Jacob.

My records show that Peter came from Germany with his brothers, Jacob, William, & Henry......and that he and Peter Jr. fought in the Rev. War......and after various moves with family, wound up in Lincoln Co., and died at age 101.
