Hi Don - I am tsawwgran, too - must somehow have two different sign-ins - didn't
notice last one until I sent it that it is diane_dmcin. Sorry for the confusion
Jacob Beyers, born 12/27/1797 in Hanover, York Co, PA; died 10/06/1877 in Springville,
Lawrence Co, IN. Married to Sarah Young (d/o Isaac Young and Mary Gooshorn), born
10/20/1803 in Fallowfield Twp, Washington Co. PA; died 5/2/1857 in Perry Twp, Lawrence Co,
IN. They were married 10/5/1820 in Washington Co, PA. Jacob and Sarah had 16 children,
all of whom survived and bore them 90-some grandchildren, I believe I counted! I have not
done any genealogy for over 10 yrs, so need to re-look up things!
Jacob was a son of Phillip Beyers/Boyer, born c1770 in either GER or PA; he died after
1831 in perhaps Washington Co, PA. He was married Magdelena Gooshorn (various spellings)
born c1775, Somerset Twp, Washington Co, PA, died after 1830 in perhaps Washington Co, PA.
They were married about 1793 in perhaps Mannheim Twp, York Co, PA.
My father's cousin wife did nearly all of the research on this line - and wrote a book
called "The Beyers Brothers" - Jacob and his brother, Frederick, came to
Lawrence Co, IN before 1850, and she wrote about them and their descendants.
Let me know if there is anything else I can provide...how do you or your cousin 'fit
in' to this family?
Diane
