Perhaps a word of self-introduction: Lots of families named Meyer settled here and there in Pennsyvlania in the 18th century. Mine (probably) was part of the Palatine group who went to Schoharie Coutny NY amd then came south into Pennsylvania with Conrad Weiser and settled in (now) Lebanon Co PA. We aren't 100% sure of the original immigrant's first name, though several persons have speculated that it was Heinrich. This original immigrant settled at a spring that feeds the Mill Creek just west of the village of Millbach and east of Schaefferstown in (now) Lebanon Co PA. The Mill Creek leads into the Tulpehocken Creek and then into the Schuylkill River and then to the Delaware River. Thus, this spring is at the watershed separating streams that flow east versus those that flow west into the Susquehanna River and down to the Chesapeake Bay. There were four sons at Millbach, of whom Jacob Meyer moved to a place west of (now) Freeburg) in (now0 Snyder co PA. From his line came Henry Meyer, author of _Genealogy of the Meyer Family_, 1890, portions of which I seek to update. Jacob's youngest brother Christopher moved to a farm 1 mile east of Campbelltown in Lebanon Co, where I was reared, and it is four sons of Christopher whose lineages I seek to update: my own great-great-grandfather Michael Moyer (who farmed at Campbelltown but moved in retirement to his son Samuel in Centre Co), Henry Meyer (who mvoed to near Boalsburg in Centre Co), and John and Christopher Meyer (who also moved to the Freeburg area and whose lineage took the spelling Moyer). Two sons remained at Millbach: Michael, of whom we know very little; and John, whose family line I also seek to update. This family was of German Reformed religion, and many are to this day, now within the United Church of Christ. This family is not to be confused with any nubmer of other Meyer/Moyer families: 1. the large Mennonite group of Meyer/Moyer persons of (esp.) Montgomery Co PA, from whom come Jamie Moyer, starting pticher for the Seattle Mariners 2. the Meyer family of the Host church, Berks Co, area, reported by Don Meyer in his excellent book _Meyer: 250+ Years In America_ Also German Reformed. 3. any number of Meyer/Moyer families of Berks County, many of whom were Lutheran and some of whom moved also to Snyder co PA north of Selinsgrove at the Salem Church area. And there are many, many other Moyer family lines in America. I would be grateful for any information that helps me to clarify any of the family lines whose ancestors were named Moyer. Music is strong in my family background. I hold the doctorate in music (Eastman, U. of Rochester), am retired from the music faculty at Millersvialle U. in a suburb or Lancaster PA, am an organist with a CD in print and about to retire also now from an organist/choirmaster position at Grace Lutheran Church, Lancaster.
