Hi Dwayne,
No, I do Not have the wrong one, I have all the wills and documents and
deeds records that prove Christian Moyer b: ca 1755-60 was the son of John &
Margareta(Unknown) MOYER of Bethel Twp. Berks Co PA. and that their son
Christian Moyer along with his brother Henry went to Mont Co OH. where Henry
died in 1804...this same Christian Moyer was extr.for bro Henry & Elizabeth
....my Henry Jr. signed one of the Estate receipts also.
Christian and his wife Margareth...deeded land to my Henry Moyer/Myers and
the other 3 children in 1835-37... some of the other three went to Cass Co
IN.
Henry's sister Anna(Hannah) md: David Wirick and went to Cass co IN. David
was bro of Mary and both Children of Jacob Wirick
1. Henry MYERS b:ca 9 Sep 1786 Berks Co., Pennslyvania Henry died 9 Apr
1849 in Whitley, Indiana. age 62 y, 7 mos.buried Universalist Church
Cemetery, S/O Christian MYERS/Mayer.+ Margareth (unk)G/S of John Moyer
b:ca 1730 d: pre-1794 Bethel twp.Berks Co PA.& Margaetha (unk)
He married Mary WIRICK in Montgomery CO. Ohio, 14 Mar 1811. Mary b:
Guilford, North Carolina 3 Jan 1790. Mary died 27 Nov 1873 in Whitley,
Indiana, at 83 years of age. D/O Jacob WYRICK/WIRICK and Margaret SCHNEIDER
?? (Not proven)
If anyone had dug into the records in Montgomery Co OH. as I have they would
have found the same as I did...
and NO there were not two Christian Moyers b: ca 1855-60 in Mont Co OH
between 1803 when he got land deed...which he later divided between his
kids..and when he died in 1835-37...
are you descended from this same Myers/Moyer/Meyer family? they are proven
to descend from Rudolph & Barbara (unk)Meyer the Immigrant who came to Lanc.
Co. PA. in 1710-17 and bought land which later became part of Berks Co.
Nice to hear from you, Shar

Hi Sharon Roach (???)
I don't know if you still think that your Myers-Wirick ancestors descend
from
Christian Meyer of Berks County via Montgomery County, OH, but I have
reason to believe that Henry Myers was the son of the Christian Meyer who
was born of Jacob Meyer in Bethel, Lancaster. This Christian Meyer had a
son Henry born c1773. This Christian Meyer migrated to Franklin County, VA,
in 1789, and from there migrated to Montgomery County, OH, in the very early
1800s. His son Henry married Mary Wirick, and they moved to Whitley County,
IN. See: History of Whitley and Noble Counties, Indiana, compiled by
Weston a Goodspeed and Charles Blanchard, and published by F.A. Battey,
Chicago, 1882. There were two Christian Meyers in Montgomery County, OH, in
the very early 1800s, and I think that you may have the wrong one. Dwayne
