6. | Christian Moyer was born in 1676 in Palatinate; died in 1751 in Franconia, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA; was buried in Delps Cemetery, Harleysville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA. Other Events:
- Arrival: 1710, New York, New York County, New York, USA; very speculative
Notes:
Christian Moyer was born in 1678, reportedly in what is now Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, and settled near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (He may have come from nearby Wurttemberg). He is my 8x great grandfather, though my Richmond, Wattenbarger, Barger, and Reiff lines.
He is not (as far as I know) related to Christopher Moyers, who was also born in Rhineland-Palatinate, in 1708, and settled in Germantown, Orange County, Virginia. (His father, George, was born in nearby Wurttemberg.) Christopher is my 6xgreat-grandfather, through my Richmond, Hutcheson, and Myers/Moyers lines.
The two lines intersect with my grandparents, Clarence Richmond (descendant of Christian Moyer) and Edith Hutcheson (descendant of Christopher Moyers).
Their wives also came from Rhineland-Palatinate:
