    1. [MOYERS] Re: Lincoln Co. TN Moyers questions
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Moyers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HU2.2ACIB/204.3 Message Board Post: I have also worked on the Lincoln County TN Moyers line, though I am far from being a profesional researcher. I have long thought there must have been three Peters, but have found no documented evidence to link my family with the immigrant Peter in Pennsylvania. Is there real proof that the immigrant Peter (Snow Molly) really belongs to this family? From Rev. Fretz's work, I find the immigrant Peter had no son named Peter. Have you found any records from Virginia or Maryland that would link the Lincoln Co. Moyers with the Mennonite faith? From which of the Rev. Fretz's works did you find the death date for Peter Sr ( immigrant) and the wife's name? I have never seen that listed. I descend from Henry Moyers. His son Felix Bernie left a journal stating his father was Henry and his grandfather was Peter. He didn't bother to say which Peter. I have tried to research the part of the family that left Lincoln County and moved to Pope County Illinois, hoping more information might surface there. But haven't gotten far. Have you tried that route? I understand some moved there and then came back to Lincoln County. I don't believe it was unusual for the other members of the families to not be listed on the ship passenger lists. I think I read somewhere that usually the head of the household alone was listed. I agree with your conclusions. Have you done any research into the family while they lived in Virginia? I read from one researcher that there is a book about cabinet makers in the Lincoln Co area that described the family business in Virginia is some way. Have you seen this source?
