Finding Catherine MOYER's parents has been a stumbling block from the beginning of my genealogy hunt. Catherine was born in 1799 and died in 1879. She married Jacob LEARN and they migrated to Cattaraugus County, New York in 1823. According to Sally Squire Pettingill's book, "History of Ischua, New York," "Jacob LEARN married Catherine Moyer (MAIER in German) and had nine children, all born in Ischua except the first two who were born in Pennsylvania: Thomas-b. 1819-d.1898, married Rachel SHAFER; Lovina-b. 1822-d. 1891, married Jeremy RAUB......" Since several of my Northampton County families were connected to Hamilton Church (including the LEARN family), is there anyone who could check the church records for Catherine's birth/baptism which would (hopefully) list her parents and sponsors? Of course, her family may not have been connected to that church! Jacob's brother, George LEARN, married Fanny SPRIGGLE (SPRIEGEL). They also moved to Cattaraugus County. Several families from Northampton and Monroe counties migrated to the Ischua, New York area including LEARN, SHAFER, KELLER, RAUB, FLYTE, YOUNG (JUNG), FRANTZ, CONRAD, and MILLER. Any help or clues would be appreciated. I'm posting this to both Northampton and Monroe County boards. Judy Offen Researching in Northampton, Lehigh, and Monroe Counties: LEARN, MOYER, SPRIGGLE/SPRIEGEL, BOSSARD/BOSSERT, SHAFER, KELLER, RUMETSCH (also spelled ROMIG/RUMMAGE), LABAR.

Would there happen to be SKS subscribed to this list that would be willing to look up two items in the Northampton Co. Grantee Index for me? The years are 1864 and 1869. I fear it will be quite some time before I can take the trip down. Please contact me directly. Thank you, Penny

Reimer Family in America Dr. John Christian Reimer was born at Michelbach, Kingdom of Wurtemberg, Germany, April 19, 1786, married Aug. 1, 1814 to Charlotte Muhel, who was born at Ober- Ingelheim near Mainz, May 29, 1783, died Oct, 1816, afterwards living with his grandfather, Frederick Michel, at Ober-Ingelheim. Dr John Christian Reimer emigrated to America in the year 1818. Dr. Reimer studied medicine in his native land. He died 1845 and he is buried in Mount Peace cemetery at Phila by the side of his wife. Their daughter, Wilhelmina married Charles Lieberman of Phila., Caroline married Stephen Smith and Emma married John Haas. (note; it sure does look like there is no relationship to your Reimer Family) Best Wishes, Geri

Hi, Jack- As opposed to the flame I got last time I tried to bring up the topic of attribution, this time most of the messages I received seemed to have gotten the point I was trying to make. (And to the rest of you, thanks for writing.) But, on to more important things... I search both MOYER and YOUNG (and maybe MOORE too) Who is your earliest for these surnames? My YOUNG is not a direct ancestor, but I tend to collect collateral lines too. I have a collateral line in Plainfield Township headed by Peter METZ, immigrated in 1741, whose wife was Elizabeth YOUNG/JUNG who would have been born ca. 1720. Her burial info said she was the daughter of John and Margaret YOUNG. There was at least one man of her generation whom I believe to have been her brother, (George) Henry YOUNG/Heinrich JUNG, 1731-1787. When Peter bought his Plainfield property in 1758, he was described as a "yeoman from Greenwich Twp., Sussex Co." (NJ) (which is where his brother, my ancestor, remained). I find one of Peter and Elizabeth's daughters was baptized "in Jersey" in 1758 by Rev. Schumacher, with a sponsor named "Conrad JUNGE" so I do believe that records for this YOUNG family might be found in NJ up to that time, as Peter and Elizabeth married around the 1740s. I've checked the NJ Archives but the number of John YOUNGs made my head spin and I put it off to another day. Does any of this strike any familiar notes? In Heller's history of Easton, he refers several times to a family named YOUNG who apparently were skilled firearms makers during the Revolution, but I haven't found anything that would link the Plainfield YOUNGS to them. The Northampton County history has a number of genealogies for YOUNG families, but none that connect to these early ones that I've been able to find. My MOYER family is an "orphan" family (actually I have two different "MOYER" families). In one family, the earliest one is Jacob MOYER/MEYER, May 17, 1768-August 27, 1844. He and his wife Maria (1768-October 25, 1871 - no misprint, she did live to 100+) are buried at Strawberry Ridge, Montour County. So far researchers for MOYER clans in Berks County and Bucks County don't find a spot for this Jacob to belong. (That same slapdash genealogist I referred to in my earlier posting, claimed they came from Reading, Berks, but DIDN'T GIVE A SOURCE FOR IT.) Again, as he was living in the area of Northumberland (then Columbia, then Montour) where many New Jersey migrants settled, near present-day Jerseytown, his family could have been originally from Sussex County. The earliest Jacob MOYER record I find is for a 1796 Northumberland Co. deed. Other MOYER grantees are Philip, Christopher, John and Daniel. Philip bought from Christian BROBST in Catawissa in 1810 (Q673). At the 1821 State of PA Septennial Census, I find these three enumerated together for Derry Twp., Columbia Co: #208 MOYER, John Farmer #209 , Jacob Weaver #210 , Samuel Farmer I've been able to document only two children so far for Jacob and Maria: Margaret, b. 1793 and John, b. 1806. There is still another MOYER/MAYER/MEYER/MOHR couple whom I've lost. They also start in Sussex County but disappear from there around 1800 and may have moved to Northampton County. They're mentioned in a will written in 1808, so I know they were alive as of that date. Here again, this family has proven impossible to trace. The name is spelled alternately "MEYER," "MOYER," and "MAIER" in the records known to apply specifically to them, but can be spelled many more variations as well (as I'm sure you're aware!); the given names of "Peter" and "Catherine" (both b. abt 1760-1765) are also too common to help sort this out. At least the names of some of their children are known from the baptisms (Dorothea, Elizabeth, William and maybe Valentine) performed at St. James Church in Sussex, now Warren, NJ). There were many families named "MEYER" and "MAYER" and "MOYER" - most likely all related - who appear in the St. James records up to about 1810 after which they all vanished. It is likely that some moved further west while others had their name changed to Warren County variants such as "MIERS," "MIRES" and "MYERS." There was a Catherine and Peter "MOHR" who lived in Plainfield Township and had dealings with (cousin) Valentine METZ but, again, there's no clear evidence that they were the same people.
