General Notes: Husband - Christopher Meyer


He was born at his father's old homestead near Muhlbach, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, located in the southeastern part of Lebanon County, but then belonging to Lancaster County. While still single, he migrated to the neighborhood of Campbellstown, Lebanon County, where he and his brother Michael purchased a large tract of land, about the year 1769. He later became sole owner of this tract, cleared it, with the aid of his sons, and lived there until his death.

He died August 2, 1810. [CBRCP-CCJC, 299]

He and his wife had nine children, most of whom moved into Snyder and Centre counties.
