Notes:

Henry Moyer, "was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in 1778. (He had two sisters we know, namely Anna, Married to Abraham Stauffer, and Catharine, married to a Mr. Widemoyer) His father was Christian (Christian Moyer was married to Mary Fried, and Abraham Moyer and William Moyer of Berlin always claimed to be relatives to old Samuel Fried and also the old Detweilers claimed to be second cousin to the descendants of our old Henry Moyer, thus proving to have been descendants of Christian Moyer who was married to a Detweiler.

It is a pity that the direct lineage cannot be proved or fully shown at this date. We have cases here with us where it is impossible to show the lineage of families as no records are left, and yet they are related. In regard to the Moyer lineage it is difficult to give facts as the old family bible in which were kept the records of the old ancestors was destroyed by fire October 15th, 1829) but it cannot be definitely stated which of the Christian Moyers he was, namely the son of Christian or Jacob.

When Henry was a mere lad his parents moved to Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he was raised. When a young man he was united in matrimony with Susannah, (She was from Springfield, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where her parents resided) daughter of Abraham and Catharine (Fried) Souder. She was born April 1st, 1779.

Soon after their marriage he purchased a farm of seventy acres, four miles from Doylestown, and paid $2200 cash thereon. Shortly after the purchase of the seventy acres there were other thirty acres, adjoining his, offered for sale, and following the advice of his friends who promised to advance him the money, he also purchased those thirty acres. This together with his former purchase made him the possessor of one hundred acres of land. Soon property depreciated in value and he could not meet his payments, neither would his friends who had made such smooth promises come to his assistance. The result was, he was financially ruined.

In 1825 he and his wife and family came to Canada with old Jacob Clemens and family, old Abraham Clemens and family, Jacob Kolb, (Jacob Kolb had moved to Canada in 1819 but returned to Pennsylvania in 1824 to assist in settling his mother-in-law's estate and now with this company returned to Canada) and Martin Schiedel and wife. Henry Moyer and family settled on a farm (This farm is now in possession of Daniel Wenger) two miles south of Breslau where he died March 27th, 1845. After his death the widow had her home with her son, William, where she died October 18th, 1860. To them were born five children"

Notes:

Abraham Souder, "was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, probably as early as 1745. Tradition has it that he was the son of old Jacob Souder, the millwright, who came to America and settled in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, as early as 1720. We find in Mr. James Y. Heckler's history of Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, that one Jacob Souder contracted with Gerhart Clemens to erect or build a mill for the said Clemens and to have it well made and give good satisfaction, for which the said Souder was to receive Ð33, one-half of which to be paid at completion of job and the balance six months thereafter. This contract was made March 26th, 1726. Mr. A. Souder was married to Catharine Fried. He followed farming for a number of years and when old he had his home with one of his children. To him and his wife was born quite a large family."
