This Christian MAYER was in apprenticeship as a "clerk" in the commercial house of Hailbronner, an extensive dealer in Ulm. He remained there until 1781 when he migrated to above area of Switz. Stayed there for 3 years til Mar of 1784. While in Switzerland, he heard of the North American Republic of "free states" having just secured it's independence from Great Britain. Meeting with people in Zurich from his employers (whom ad already been over the Atlantic and described prospects to Christian) one being a Mr. Solomon KITT which was among the writer Brantz MAYER'S (fathers) papers. Mr. KITT wrote to Christian MAYER from Bale, Switzerland calling america the country of new liberties. From other "writings" Brantz MAYER arrived at the fact that his father, Christian MAYER (2nd) arrived in america abt 1784 - 1875 where papers resume showing Christian MAYER taking the oath of allegiance by the Act of Assembly for the St of Maryland on Feb 23, 1785 when he became a citizen of MD. Christian m. Anna Katarine BAUM on Feb 3, 1785. She was b. near Kutztown, Adams Co., PA on Apr 1, 1767.

They emigrated from Alsace to escape persecution aft the Revocation of the Edit of Nantz, settling as farmers in the Valley of Virginia betwen the Shennandoan and the Potomac rivers. The HENNINGEURS actually went back to Europe several more times to retrieve the monies that they hid bef fleeing. Christina and Anna BAUM/MAYER lived in a mansion on Saratoga Street in downtown Baltimore., MD. Anna was the dau of Christian BAUM - a soldier in the War of Independence; he died in the field at the battle of Brandywine. Her mother's name was Hannah BAUM b. HENNINGHUER; lived in PA til moving to Balto., in 1782 with her son Christian BAUM and 4 daughters; Mary, catharine, Susannah and Barbara.

Marie, You haven't bored me at all. Do you have a family Bible or does your aunt? Do you have any old records that are packed in a trunk. People sometimes save papers that they do not realize will have value many years later. Keep putting queries on line, sometime someone might just have some information for you. Bobbye

Gary, I have the Brantz MAYER book written in 1878 - I was really fortunate to find someone that had one of the actual orginals/signed by Brantz himself. The first time I see this book (the actual original) was here in Baltimore at our local Enoch Pratt Genealogical Holding Library. The librarian held the book and turned the pages for me. I have mine in a protective covering; but the person that sold the book to me sent me a reprint (newer) book. The one that I use. It's a bit hard to decipher hence the writer jumps alot. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER

My maternal side's MYERS connection is defineately traced as such. They came from PA; migrated into old VA, what is now Randolph, Wetzel, Tyler, Harrison counties of WV; some traveled back and forth into OH, back to WV because they had family already there; and even into western MD - one reason was that alot of them were either a) trying to grab land grants b) lumber and coal mining jobs traveling wherever the jobs opened up for them. And some of my MYERS (above) had their surnames spelled as MOYER too. They married into many different names but if you can pinpoint the county they might have been in you can follow the surname pattern around them. Such as Randolph Co., VA/WV. In Randolph County surnames connected to MOYERS/MYERS are: REXROAD ARBOGAST SYNDER/SNIDER WAYBRIGHT THOMAS BROOKOVER LEMLEY WARNER PUGH RITCHIE (seen in areas of Germanna) and many many more. Thank god old VA areas kept alot of documentation as well as PA and MD. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER

Hi all, I'm really starting to read (more indepth) about "migration patterns" that or ancestor's used. Wow, it's a whole new can of worms to open. But, one excellent reference point regarding migration is that it's fair to assume that "they" only used certain trails and paths. That's the good news. The bad side of this tangled coin is that many of these new americans traveled back and forth from PA to OH down into what is now WV (VA), into KY - sidetracked into N Carolina only to return back again into NY NJ MD and PA. Poor Bobbyee, it's no wonder her "Jacob MYERS/MOYERS" has her tracing him all over this country. He probably did just that because there just weren't that many people here in America in the 1700's. A few good rules of thumb: 1 - ca1700's - most settlers realized that areas of PA in counties such as Lebanon, Lancaster, York (a few others too) were the only comfortable "flatlands" to travel in and around. But they were busting at the seams. So, settlers started to travel out of PA and head for whatever direction they were told was good prospects for land. I'd say most of the very early pioneers came in through either what is now NJ, NY, PA shores and/or VA. 2 - Staunch Germans hung around the Germanna Colonies of VA (there were 4). One group came in from Wurtemberg areas 1714. 2nd group came into VA in 1717 arriving on the SCOTT ship - this ship is somewhat infamous because it wrecked killing over 100+ people (might have been 170) I have to re-read again. And yes, there was a Georg MYERS, seen as MAJER in Germany, called MAYER once hitting VA; then written as MAIER MIER and MOYER. This Georg(e) MAYER had at least two sons, "Michael" whom though lived in VA, migrated into North Carolina where he married and migrated back into VA. His father Georg(e) is known to be involved in militia type battles having been arrested in PA. Again, he later shows up back in the 2nd Germanna colony to once again face offf in courts against a man (who's name escapes me at this moment) because this George MAYER/MYERS was and identured slave. But the man dies and another files suit for poor George's "7" year tender. Another son is named, "Christopher"! So... it's very certain by the major historians that this Christopher was the grandfather of Dr. Christopher MOYERS/MYERS father "Christopher" MOYERS. Dr. Christopher m. a Susannah ? and they were in Greene Co., Tn - eventually settlings in the White Pine area of Jefferson Co., TN. Their son was James David MOYERS/MYERS m. to Mary Polly BLACKBURN. 3 - Historians say that Michael MYERS/MOYERS (above) the other son went back into PA; then later he and his wife migrated back into Rowan Co., NC where they settled having at least 7 children. Now, already you can see how even in those rough trying times, families split up and this is just one of at least 4 MAYER/MAJER'S families that I've traced so far here in with MD/PA/OH/VA/WV/KY/IL/MO/NC and TN. One group came in through Annapoilis, MD settling in the Frederick areas of Frederick Co., MA and Carroll Counties of MD. Frederick is very close to the PA line. (I live in MD and know that area fairly well). There is a MYERSVILLE and a MYERSTOWN in MD - in PA there is a MYERSTOWN too. This line had siblings that either stayed in MD; headed for PA; 2 went down to NC. Another MEYER family that was came in thru PA is now being traced into OHIO and WVA. Still another MIER line that was in MA broke apart from the 1700 to 1800's and though they have the above towns named after them are no longer there at all! Now, my research of our MOYERS/MYERS/MAIERS/MEYERS shows me that many settlers out of PA went one of two ways; either straight down (north) into the Carolina's where from there they headed westerly through TN; from there they either put their stakes down or headed into KY, land grants were issued out before the Indians territory was even taken from them. Many were issued these land grants west of the Alleghanys from Haywood Co., Co for areas of TN years before they could legally lay claim to them. While the tohers in PA wanted to get away from the growing masss of immigrants (even back then) so some headed for what is now WV - Wetzel, Tyler and Harrison Counties are right next to PA if you look on a map. You'll also see straight up from these counties - into PA keep look looking north and there lies the Great Lakes at Erie PA. Again, many headed into what is now OHIO near the OHIO River. But think of timeframes. Before ferries would built pioneers stayed mostly in old VA, now WVA. Which explains why alot of MYERS/MOYERS are still in Randolph county today. I think once a ferry was built - settlers headed into OH. They were always looking to get one step further west, where they heard the land was better and religion could be practiced less staunchly. Some by this time were hearing of the KY/TN areas; still prob. under either the old Mississippi Treaties and North Carolina. Even areas of Georgia were under this landmass area. My point is that if there were easy answers to finding our MYERS connections, we wouldn't all be here discussing this. Kinda sad but I do believe in my heart that most of us come from one of "3" common ancestor if you can trace your line back to the 1700's. Now, if they immigrated in in the 1800's - who's to say. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER > Chrystie, I do think that your line and my line are connected at some point, > because like you say, they are interestingly similar.

Chrystie, I do think that your line and my line are connected at some point, because like you say, they are interestingly similar.

In circa 1783 Christopher Moyers, Junior, a Revolutionary War veteran, moved to what later became White Pine, Jefferson County, Tennessee and settled on Long Creek. He and his wife Susannah had seven children. James, David, Susannah, Milly, Sally, Elizabeth, and Joshua Moyers. Many of their descendants later changed their name to Myers. Their descendants moved to many parts of eastern and middle Tennessee. Christopher Moyers, Junior traces his descent from Jacob Mayer of Raterschen, Switzerland in the German speaking portion of Switzerland. Jacob's son Hans Mayer married in Wuttenburg, Germany Anna Henn on May 31, 1668 and had five children. One of these five children was George Moyers, Senior who was christened Hans Georg Mayer and married Barbara. George moved to Culpepper County, VA in 1717 where he was part of the Germanna colony of German immigrants. George and Barbara had five children of which one was Christopher Moyers, Senior who married Catherine. Christopher Moyers, Senior had five children one of which was the Christopher Moyers, Junior above mentioned. The book is indexed and is over 100 pages long. The title of the book is The MOYERS-MYERS and Allied Families. The Allied families includes the Blackburn, Mathews, Jack, Nicholson, McGuire, and Predmore families which intermarried with the Moyers-Myers family. If you would like a copy of my book let me know and I will tell you how to purchase one.

Marilyn, Your lineage is interestingly famliar. It looks an awfully lot like my Hans Georg MAJER of the Palatines - Germany, surname written as MAYER upon entry into the Americas ca 1714 settling at first at the 2nd Germanna Colonies, later traveling into PA; later returning - one of his son's name was Christian or Hans Christian MAYER; seen spelled as MOYER MAIER MIER and MEYER, as well as MAYER. This line, as many "german colonist did", ended up spelling their surname as MYERS upon the arrival of the year ca1800 or so. Their was another son recorded as Michael whom m. in Rowan, north Carolina, later returning to VA; and Christopher or Christoph. Later their ancestors migrated into Greene Co., Tn - my line headed for Jefferson and still later in Sevier Tn. I believe some stayed and or headed for the Carolina's - some headed westerly into OH IL MO and other's might have went northerly to PA where more estab. settlements were.

Hi Marie, I think we talked a few weeks ago. I believe you said you were unable to do research and that all of your older relatives had died. Am I correct in this? If I can help you in any way let me know. I have put you name in my address book. Bobbye

Hi, Bobbye: Yes, I have one cousin older than me, but she doesn't know much more than I do about our grand parents. I am 81 & she is almost 91. We weren,t interested in genealogy when my grandma was living. My grandfather died before I was born. I didn't think about asking her any questions. I don 't know if she could have told me much, or maybe wouldn't want to. I found out since my dad died, [thru records] that 2 older girls that he said was his sisters were only his 1/2 sisters. If he knew that he never mentioned it to me. I am really in the dark . My dad was only 17 when his dad died, so I doubt he knew much about them. Dad said that grandpa had 2 brothers that had a nail factory, but he didn't say their names, so I doubt he knew them. I don't know where the factory was located. I hope I haven't bored you too much. Thanks for the reply.

Catharine MYERS LINDSEY was married to John?s brother, Moses, and their father was also a Moses LINDSEY. I don?t know the relationship of William MYERS to John or Moses LINDSEY, but he could easily be a close relative of Catharine. John died young of disease at the end of the War of 1812, when he was serving in the Virginia Militia, under Abram Fulkerson.) I am looking forward to finding out more clues. I am also looking at Samuel, Peter, Joseph, John, James, Jacob, Isaac, Henry, David, Christopher, Alexander, or Adam MYERS (MARRS/MIRES/MOYERS etc), as possible father of Catharine. Thought I would start with concentrating on one with some documented connection.

Chrystie, I was just rereading some old notes and "duh" one of the writters mentioned that Jacob Myers came from Salsburg, Austria. That is quite removed from West Phalia where some thought he was from. Salsburg was part of the Palatine area; so, it still fills the description for his being a Palatinian. If in you reading/research notice Salsburg, please see if Jacob might be mentioned. I know, I'm grasping at straws, but what the heck. Bobbye
