- Discussion on the identity of this Jacob Moyer, seems to be assuming he belongs to a Pennsylvania Moyer family. Seems more likely he's of the Germanna Virginia family. Needs research!!

1782 trip to Stony Creek
He made first address at ³house of Pastor Jacob Zink, who was then just beginning his ministry.² ³I delivered a German sermon in his house on December second.²
December 6 (Wednesday)--preached ³for the first time in the old Röders Church,² accompanied there by Peter Zink, the preacherıs brother.
³Jacob Mayer, the German schoolmaster in the neighborhood of Stony Creek, had come and urged me to go with him to his house. Within several hours he had made an appointment for me for the next afternoon. After the sermon I rode home with Peter Zink to his father's. The next morning I rode in company with him and his single sister to a schoolhouse five miles from Millerstadt (Woodstock) near the home of George Mesius." [Maphis]
September 1787, trip to SW VA
³We traveled to Jacob Mayerıs house on the James River. He was the man who first brought me into the Röders Church, in the year 1782. We stayed there from Sunday to the following Monday. Sunday I preached in Meyerıs home on Sunday, and on Monday we rode downstream and came to home of Peter Müller."

Jacob MOYER( c1739-1795), subject of recent posts, is named in "Harvest Time" -J Ross BAUGHMAN -1994, as being the son of a Jacob MOYER b. 1717, son of Germanna immigrants, George and Anna Barbara MOYER. So far, no proof has been found to substantiate this claim. Recent research may prove that he was the son of a Henry MOYER who came to Virginia from
Pennsylvania in the early 1750's.
[ Henry MOYER was a relative, probably brother, of the Ulrick MOYER associated with the Orange/ Frederick/ Shenandoah Co's Jacob MILLER and Adam YEAGER.
The Jacob MOYER who appears in the following colonial militia rolls may have been the above Jacob. Jacob MYER in Capt. George MERCER'S Co, listed in George WASHINGTON'S own
hand, was among the party of recruits before the Battle of the Meadows, in the return of Capt. MERCER'S Co at Will's Creek 3 Jul 1754 and as a soldier who recieved the country's bounty in 1754 ( Crozier, pp. 111, 114, 118 "Va.
Historical Magazine " Vol 1 pp. 281-284.)
He may also be the Sgt.Jacob "MIRES" who with Pvt. Henry "MIRES" was on the payroll list of Capt Peter HEPHENSTINE'S Co ( Lt was John NIESWANGER) of militia paid at Romney 1775- Jacob Mires , 115 days, Henry Mires 115 days. (Original Roll, Romney, p 115, Va State Library (JUNE - 1992)
Jacob MOYER may have been the soldier who served in the German Regiment under Col Ludwig WALTER of Frederick Co. Va. along with other men from Dunmore Co. Va. Some were: Conrad & Philip BOHMN, Philip HINKLE, Christian and David MUMMA, William RADER, Francis & George MYERS, Adam ROHBACH.
(Baughman - 1994)
On 3 June 1762 Jacob MOYER of Shenandoah Co. Va. received a Fairfax grant of 400 acres on the headwaters of Mill Creek in the Shenandoah Valley adj. to John THOMAS, Reese LEWIS & Evan JONES. (Northern Neck Grants Book K p.444)
[Others who lived within a 4-5 mile radius of Jacob MOYER on Mill Creek were: Henry MOYER, Christian MOYER, John ROUSCH, Peter COOK, Andreas AUBOUGH, Andrew ZIRCLE, Thomas HOLEMAN & Christian FUNKHOUSE.]
Jacob MOYER married a Barbara MILLER c 1760/2 ( Researcher of Elizabeth Moyer, eldest child of Jacob & Barbara Moyer)
Jacob b. c1739 was probably the Jacob MOYER who translated the wills of John BENDER & Adam RADER, appraised the estate of Willian STALB in 1773; who witnessed the will of Mathias RHODES in 1774. (Chalkley, Augusta Co Court records v1 p 174; vII p 461; v III pp 128,131,132, ) He was probably the
Jacob MOYER who in 1777 translated the will of Jacob MILLER with wife Rebecca.
Jacob MOYER was a schoolteacher at Rader's Church, Rockingham Co. Va., in 1782. He also accompanied Rev. Paul HENKLE on his preaching trips.(Cassels, PP35, 48-52, 167)
On 3 Nov 1772, Jacob MOYER & wife Barbara sold the above 400 acres of land to Daniel WALKER. Witt: Christian DELLINGER (Shen Co. Va. Deed Book A pp. 129-130) It appears Jacob & family remained in Shen. Co. until they moved to Botetourt Co. in 1783.
On 6 Nov 1781 Jacob MOYER married his second wife, Salome MILLER (Name also found as Sarah & Sally) at the Strasburg Lutheran Church, Strasburg, Va. Min -John BERGER
On 10 July 1783, Jacob & Sally bought 269 acres of land on the James River in Botetourt Co. Va. from Michael & Catharine KERNS. Some neighbors were: Michael & Conrad MOYER, Henry BAUGHMAN, John PITZER, William WALKER, Rev. John CRAIG, Peter ZIRCLE.
Children of Jacob MOYER & Barbara MILLER

Jacob & Sally's last four children were under age when Jacob died and Peter
DEISHER was named guardian of Dorothy, Susan, Peter & Sarah.
On 28 Jan 1797, Sarah (Sally), widow of Jacob MOYER married Peter DIESHER.
Jacob MOYER died in 1795. His estate was appraised by George POAGE, Peter ZIRCLE (his brother-in-law) & John NIESWANGER (his nephew-in-law.)
I'll be glad to answer questions if I can.

I have seen the microfilm you are looking for and have copies of the pages. The St. Louis Public Library got it for me on interlibrary loan. Jacob Moyer (1739-1795) did not leave a will. At the time of his death his property was appraised and divided among some of his younger children.
Mentioned in the will were Sarah Moyer, Peter Moyer, Dolly Moyer, Adam Moyer, Susannah Moyer.
There is a hand drawn picture of the property showing the partition. There is also a list of his personal property. The appraisers were George Poage, Peter Circle and John Ninewinger. The document is dated the 9th of August 1798, Botetourt Court. It is very difficult to read or I would offer to send a copy. I believe he had 12 children and do not know why these five received all the proceeds from the court. There is no indication in the court order.
Perhaps someone on the list can offer an opinion.

This Jacob III and Elizabeth Russell are my ggg-grandparents. The only indication I have found that links a father Jacob to a son Jacob is this:

I wonder if this is the Baughman (Bauman) family from Shenandoah/Botetourt Counties Virginia. John Baughman married Dorothea Moyer and they moved to Missouri, settling close to her brother Jacob Moyer. The John Baughman family also lived in various Arkansas counties and fought for the Confederacy in Arkansas Regiments. The Arkansas Counties I show are Boone and Carroll; also some references to Harrison and Fayetteville which I believe are the Ouachita part of the state. I have never known why they fluctuated between Arkansas and Missouri. Perhaps John had brothers who migrated to Arkansas. Does anyone know who the siblings of John Baughman (b December 1774, Shenandoah County, VA - d January 1857, Boone County, Arkansas) were? He was the son of Henry Baughman and Mary Layman.

Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Alamo names Sandra, was this Jesse B. BOWMAN perhaps from either Greene Co. or Washington Co., TN? I have no direct links to the surname, but two of my uncles (mother's brothers) married spouses who have that surname in their ancestry from Greene Co., TN. (These two BOWMAN descendants are through the WILHOIT line also.) Sgt George George W. Durman According to my source, ALAMO DEFENDERS by Bill Groneman, page 19-20:
JESSE B. BOWMAN was born in 1785. He was a hunter/trapper born in Tennessee. He lived in Red River County, Texas. His rank was Private and he was a rifleman. By 1811 he lived in Illinois, where his son JOSEPH T. BOWMAN was born. In 1824 he moved to Arkansas and became the first known settler of Camden, Quachita County, where he lived with his wife and three children. By 1828 he had moved to Hempstead, Arkansas In the 1830s, he, his son Joseph, his brother, and nephews came to Texas. He received land in Red River County. He and his son both served in the Texas army during the Texas Revolution. JESSE BOWMAN became part of the Alamo garrison and died in the battle on 6 Mar 1836.
Hope this helps.

from my notes...
1786, Paul Henkel is traveling to Reedy Creek in SW VA...
³We traveled to Jacob Meyerıs house on the James River. He was the man who first brought me into the Röders Church, in the year 1782. I preached in Meyerıs home on Sunday, and on Monday we rode down the stream and came to Peter Müllerıs house."
Röders/Raders Church is near the Shenandoah/Dunmore and Rockingham County line. Paul Henkel described him on his 1782 trip to Shenandoah County...
³Jacob Mayer, who was the German schoolmaster there, had come to the neighborhood of Stony Creek, and he sought to have me ride with him to his house...²

Ludwig Zircle from Illingen, Germany came to America before 1725 and settled in Franconia Township (near Philadelphia), Bucks Co. Pa. Ludwig Zircle died in 1747. His will was witnessed by George Seible, Andrew Barnhardt and his executor, Peter Shneider.
Widow, Maria Eve Zircle, married Christian Ottinger. He died in 1750 and the Zircles sold their land in Pa. to Peter Gerhardt and Maria Eva Zircle and her 5 sons and 2 daughters began the journey to their future home on Holeman's Creek in "The Forest" area of the Shenandoah Valley.
Before going to Shenandoah Co. this family lived for nearly 2 years near the present town of Culpepper, Va.
Does anyone have any information about this family while they were in Culpeper Co? Land record? They probably had to stay long enough to plant and harvest food for the balance of their journey. Tax record?
Did the Zircles have relatives in Culpeper Co? Schneiders? Gerhardts?
Seible (Michael Holt married a Sheible)?
Were the Zircles connected with the "other" Adam Yeager and Jacob Miller?
Peter Zircle, one of Maria Eve's sons, lived near Jacob Miller in Shen.Co.
Peter Zircle married Frances (Franky) Moyer, sister of Jacob Moyer (of recent posts) and sold their land to Jacob Miller before they moved to Botetourt Co. in 1783.
