Hi Sharon. Were you the one that I was going to look up some information for on Christian Myers in the book that A.J. Fretz wrote. If so, I apologize for the long delay. I inadvertently deleted the e-mail of the person who requested that, and now I don't have the name of the person who wanted it or who they wanted it on! I hope you are the person! If so, please let me know once more the birth date of your Christian, and the name of his wife that you are looking for. -----Original Message----- From: Sharon Roach <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, February 18, 2001 12:15 AM Subject: Re: [MOYERS] ROLL CALL TIME! >Hello Grp, >I have just gotten confirmation(Proof positive) as to my Henry Moyer/Myers >b: 1786 PA. being the son of Christian MOYER/MYERS etc.+ >Margareth (UNK)....and am waiting for the Will of John MOYER died 1793 >of Bethel Twp.

Ok, now this did hit me. I'm doing some research for another out here regarding the infamous Casper MYERS, seen in alot of documentation here in Maryland (old Frederick/Carroll Co. VA - now MD areas) as MIER/MEIR/MEYER/MOYER and MYERS. He bought a tremendous amount of land in and around Frederick, city of Frederick, MYERSVILLE/MYERSTOWN (2 seperate cities but within 10 miles of each on old Rt 40 heading from Frederick into PA). He owned so much land that no matter what records I'm looking into his name and records connected to him just keep popping up no matter whom I'm researching. If anyone is alined with him, and they say I am, it's a jackpot of information. He had a son named Henry Christian and I might add that the family name was originally MAYER ca1700's - and MAJER/MAJOR ca15-1600's from Switzerland. I know they handed down their first names but I've never seen another Casper, only a Gasper - whom I believe is one and the same. Casper's 2nd cousin whom migrated later into MD also had sons with the names Henry, John (Johanna), John Henry, Christian Henry, Johanna Christian, Johanna Henry, etc... several migrated into PA where they stayed. Some headed into what was VA, later OH/WV. One or two headed for the Carolina's, one went back to Switz. and still a female married and headed for Austrailia. Now, I do remember there were alot of the same wife first names and one of them was "Margaret" or "Margaretta", "Catherine Margaret" and Elizabeth and I agree, they really liked to use the same names over and over again but the names Henry and Christian are forever in my sight. Next time I'm in Westminster MD I'll look those names up again; great genealogy source library for PA/MD history.
