Book Description
Jacob Meyers (fl. 1738-1739) was probably a Palatinate immigrant from Germany to Philadelphia in 1738, and settled at Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where a son (John) was born in 1739. John Meyerd (1807-1865) was a direct descendant of Jacob in the fourth generation. He married Deborah Flick in 1830, and they moved from Pennsylvania to Verona, Wisconsin, probably making the move in the 1840s. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, New England, Indiana, Florida, North Dakota and chiefly in Wisconsin.
