      Christina, 1765, sp MartinStupp (at Stouchsburg)

      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
