    funny, but I'm only partially convinced that Samuel here is the father of my Philip.
    Somewhat based on proximity, etc, but Samuel does have a child Philip at just
    the right time andthen shows up in Lower Mahantongo. There does seem
    to be a family group going on and some of them go further north up to
    Northumberland Co. It's my best guess for now.

    I found his wife being a Schmidt, but without source.

    I don't know what the "Davely" sponsor is. It doesn't seem to be a real name anywhere.

    Samuel married Elisabeth SCHMIDT Bef 1779, Pine Grove Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA. Elisabeth was born Abt 1754; died Aft 1800. [Group Sheet]

    Samuel Beyer is not listed as signle in 1775, so maybe married by then.

    will of 1807: A:540, 4:414. Abstract:
    son Johannes,
    daus
    Elisabeth,
    Christina,
    Barbara,
    Philippina,
    Margareth,
    Eva and
    Elisabeth d/o Adam,
    daughter Catharine and her husband caused problems.
    also, a wife not named.
    Executor son Johannes and Johannes Schrob.


    Note in Schuylkill County Historical Proceedings, 1908, shows an Assimus Boyer
    buying muchof the estate of Henry Boyer of Tulpehocken in 1757 (estate sales records).

    I think the only reason for including Samuel as a son of Asimus is that Samuelappears in the tax list while Asimus was the only Boyer in the area. And they
    both appear at the Pine Grove churches. Still, it's unsettling to rely on proximity
    alone with a common name like Boyer. Perhaps Samuel just moved to the
    area... (he's also not in the will)

    However - note that in baptism of J Jacob Bayer to Samuel and wf Elisabeth
    at Salem, the sponsors are "George Davely(?) and Margret, the father's sister".
    So the translator couldn't read the name. But later on is George Kramer
    and Margreta, which is the only other George and Margreta there at the time.
    If that's the case and George is really George Kramer, then Samuel would
    be in this family.

    also a Nicholas Beyer and Catharine
    John Philip 1791, sp Niclas Pressle and wf Barbara

    ############################################################
    Online says he's son of Heinrich and Anna Maria (Zerbe)

    Asimus is merged with Asahel Beier in American Boyers, pg 247. I disagree.
    Asahel leads an independent life of Asimus and it is a different name!
    The only thing in common is odd sounding names beginning with vowels.

    Here is more on Asahel:
    Maria Eva Spieler July 24, 1757, Atolhoe
    served in 8th Penna. Regiment, Continental Line
    1778, Oziel Boyer killed in action
