I will put it all here so someone can add to, correct, or debunk it. I have John living with his aunt, Elizabeth (Lizzie) M. Headrick who was married to Henry Myers. He was born 10/26/1792 at Horse Creek, Greene Co. TN and died 4/10/1854 in Blount Co. John's father was supposedly another John Moyer/Myers, brother of Lizzie, born 1756 in Germany, came to PA then to TN and died abot 1800 near Sullivan Co. who married Anna Moyer, daughter of Jacob Moyer. This John was the brother of Lizzie who was first married to a Headrick and then to Jacob Moyer--or who was married to Jacob and then to a Headrick, I'm not sure, but he was Lizzie's brother. He died shortly after Lizzie married Henry so she took John, Jr. to live with her. She had a German Bible which still exists and gives John's birth date, I've read. Who this John Moyer/Myers lst was, I do not know. However, there is another story that says that John was the son of Michael Moyer lst b. 9/12/1709 Mecklenberg Co. NC and died in Rowan Co. NC and married Mary (Garrett) Gerhard b. c. 1709 married before 1739. Michael's children were: Jesse B., Christopher II b. 1740, James b. 3/29/1767, Michael 2nd b. bef. 1775, George 1780, Elizabeth b. c. 1702, John lst b. 10/26/1792, Rachel b.c. 1800. This Michael lst was son of Hans Jorg(George) Moyer of Germany b. 1681 d. 1753 and Anna Barbara Landis m. c. 1700 Palatinate, Germany. Hans George' children were: Abraham b. aft. 1700, Christian, Johannes Melchior, John, Veronica, Hans George, Michael lst b. 1709, Christian lst b. 1717, Vincent b. 1721. There do seem to be a lot of gaps between these dates of birth so this may not be accurate but I give it here for your review. Hans George was son of Hans Melchior Moyer and Anna Maria Kupfer and their children were Hans Jorg(George) b. 1681, Hans John, and Hans Unknown b. 1684. Hans Melchior Moyer was son of Rev. Vincent Hans Martin Moyer who married Anna Henn on 5/321/1668. He was born 9//12/1647 in Retschen, O. Switzerland and died 5//23/1693 in Gross, Schsenheim, Wuerttemberg, Germany. His children were Hans Melchior, Hans George b. 1681 and Hans John. Vincent was son of Jacob Moyer b. 5/10/1611 in Retchen, O. Switzerland and married Anna Maria Jupfer and had Hans Melchior and Christopher. Jacob was son of Lorenz (1554-1609) who was son of Melchior b. 1495 Gross, Schsen- heim, Free Imperial City of Ulm, Germany. Now, about John and his wife Jane Dunn. Do you have the dates for them and the names and dates for their children? If not, I do. There was another John Moyer/Myers who came to East TN in 1792 from PA and died before 1836. His children were Peter who married Winnie Willoughby in 1810 and lived in Grainger Co. in 1840, Susanna who married George Manes, Barbary, Elizabeth who married Thomas Smith, Polly who married Stephen Manes, Christopher who married Arpy Manes, and Jacob who married Polly Lindsay. I give you this data in case you can fit it in anywhere. Peter and Winnie's children were Jacob who married Nancy Chambliss, Martin who married Mary Ann Dalton, John Hedrick who married Arminda Carpenter and Henry. Martin's children (b. 8/1/1817 d. 7/25/1883) were William Anderson Myers who married Levina Davidson, John Nelson Myers who married Jincey Dalton, Tandy who married Nancy Livesay, Carter and Milton A. who did not marry, James Luther who married Temperance Livsay and Harriet who married William Perry. There was also a John E. Myers who was b. 3/9/1805 and married Jane Starnes on 6/9/1825. There was a Samuel E. Myers who married Carrie R. Weems and lived in Mosheim, and a Guy who married Daisy and a Mildred who married Fred Unknown. In 1850 John Moyer and Jane Dunn only had 4 children living with them, although they had more, John (Baldy) b. 5/4/1827 age 23, Emelia (Milly) b. 3/28/1829 age 21, Nancy L. b. 2/1/1831 age 20 and Susan b. 2/5/1833 age18. Their other children were Henry b. 8/20/1813, William lst b. 5/14/1817, Daniel b. 2/11/1819, Mary Ann (Polly) b. 10/31/1821, Elizabeth Jane b. 12/26/1823, Rhoda b. 1/11/1875. The family is buried at Myers Cemetery in Townsend, Blount County,TN. Hope this helps. Some of it came from the book, Historic Greene Co. TN and Its People; some from the Pioneer, publication of the Greene Co. Geneological Society. My line is James Moyer/Myers and Malinda Collette who had my grandmother, Lucinda Jane Moyer/Myers who married Alfred Reynolds.
