Dear Katie, I am interested in your Myers/Lindsey lines. I have a Jacob Myers, son of John Myers and Catherine Couch, who m. Mary Polly Lindsey. She was one of his three wives. There is some debate on who the parents of Jacob were. I feel he is the son of the above, but other researchers think he was the son of Michael Myers and Nancy West. Be most interested in what you have. Happy Hunting!!! Betty Myers

Betty and Katie, Just yesterday I seen John MYERS and his wife Catherine COUCH's records up in Westminster Library, Carroll Co., MD - alot of these holdings are actually from when the area was known as Funkstown - just a few miles from Pennsylvania. Matter of fact, the Amish have a large market there - of which I am not feeling well today from - ate too much of their great German Amish food. Was Catherine's surname seen as CROUCH at times? Was John's surname orginally MOYERS from possibly Culpeper, VA? Did these two folks end up in Greene Co., TN. John MOYERS, son of Vincent MOYERS b 1721 d 1797 and Elizabeth NEWCOMER. Other children of Vincent and Eliz. include: Maria, Salome, Benjamin, Anna, Christian, Barbara. Vincent, son of Hans George MAYER b 1681 d 1753 and Barbara LANDIS. Other children: John, Christian (seen as Christoph), Veronica, Abraham, Elias, Georg, Michael. (all above sons had the word Hans before their first names - common practice during that era). Hans George had two brothers that I know of; one's name is speculation; the other was Hans Johannes (seen as Johan/Johann) MAYER. They were the children of Hans "Rev Vincent" or Martin Mayer b. Sep 12, 1647 d May 23 1693 and Anna HENN b abt 1647 d. Sept 14, 1706 (m. May 31, 1668 Gross, Sachsenheim, Germany. Hans Vincent or Martin MAYER, son of Hans Georg(e) "John George" MAYER b May 18, 1611 and Anna Marie Margaretha (K)JUPFER both from Gross, Schsenheim called the Free Imperial City of Ulm. Other sons were Hans Christo Georg and Hans Johannes Melchior MAYER b 1636 Tell me, were they in MD and PA bef migrating into TN? If VA, do you know about where? VA covered alot of territory at one long time ago. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER > From: Betty L Myers <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 14:48:32 -0600 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [MOYERS] Re: Myers and Lindsey > Resent-From: [email protected] > Resent-Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 14:50:25 -0600 > > Dear Katie, > > I am interested in your Myers/Lindsey lines.
