- 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!!

Thank you all who responded to my post... one of the most confusing aspects regarding Jacob Moyer(s) is in J. Ross Baughmans book "Some Ancestors of the Baughman Family in America" (Roanoke Library, Virginia Room 929.2 B326s. page 135). It supposedly lists Jacob Moyer, Jr., Died 1795, buried Noffsinger Cemetery-Bote.,Co., wife Sarah, and son of the immigrant Jacob Moyer. Can anyone shed any light on who the 'immigrant' Jacob Moyer is? Most researchers here (on this list) seem to believe that Jacob Moyer SR was son of the immigrant Hans Georg Mayer/Moyer and his wife Anna Barbara, not Jacob Moyer JR.? If I might inquire...was there a specific source that led y'all to believe Jacob Moyer SR was the son of Georg Mayer/Moyer and his wife.. all I need is a head in the right direction Again, many thanks for any assistance.... Tippy
After reviewing my post of this a.m., I should add...
Adam Moyer/Mayer did marry a Mary Counts.... the
reference to Adam being Jacobs brother is speculation
on my part at this time, and part of a process of
elimination regarding who Jacob Moyers Sr., and Jr.,
"really" are by following the families of Jr.s
siblings, who I have as follows: Elizabeth, Adam,
Susannah, Matthias, Magdalena, Catharine, Barbara,
Peter, John, Sarah, Dorthea....

**** I just noticed a huge oversight on this family
tree.... Jacob MOYER, brother of Dorthea MOYER who
married John BAUGHMAN and resided in Missouri, married
Elizabeth RUSSELL. ****
Is the Christena reference below that of Christena
EBERT/EVERT (Parents: John George & Margaret Christina
STARKE), who married Jacob MOYER native of Germany, b.
1728??
