John Jacob Meyer (son of Johann George Meyer and Euphronia Kercher)⁸¹ was born February 22, 1774 in Tulpehocken Twp., Berks Cty., PA, and died February 06, 1859 in Dauphin Cty, PA.

Notes for John Jacob Meyer:
Bernhard Koerner and Otfried Praetorius, eds., Darmstadter Geschlechterbuch (Hessisches Geschlechterbuch Bd. 7), (Druck u. V. von S. U. Starke, Gorlitz, 1930.), 383. has the father of Margaret Meyer, b. 1/17/1825, d. 1/24/1907 in Wiconisco, as Jakob Meyer, b. 2/22/1744, in Gratz. There appears to be a generation missing in this record.

According to Descendants of Michael Meyer, John Jacob Meyer spelled his name Moyer. However the Darmstadter Geschlecterbuch has his daughter Margaret as a Meyer. I have kept Meyer for my records.
