Notes:

Although Susanna Derr Smith's death certificate says her parents are Michael "Dree"
and Elizabeth "Moyer", I really think her last name is Boyer. Not only does she fit in
nicely with Philip Boyer's family, but the sponsorship by Salome Boyer (then
Neidlinger) would suggest this relationship. Also the sponsor by George Boyer would
suggest the same. Geographically, Salome lived in the upper eastern tip of Eldred
Twp which is down the valley from the families in Cameron Twps which attended the
same church. Later the Derrs and Boyers are neighbors near Fountain Hill.

The Moyer just doesn't check out anywhere. The person doing the death certificate
already had problems writing Derr (the namein the History of Schuylkill County
writeup on Daniel S. Smith), and the memory of Elisabeth's parents' names may
have long faded.

Since I've found the sponsor evidance, the fact that Salome had a daughter born
at the right time, they are at the church where Michael Derr's first kids are
baptized, that Salome (then Neidlinger) make the trek over to Fountain Springs for
later baptims of Michael Derr and also his daughter, and the similarity of last names
(Boyervs. Moyer), I'm writing up the family with Elizabeth as a Boyer.

Note also that Elisabeth's maternal grandparents, George Geist and Margaretha were
the god parents for Michael Derr (at his baptism) so there might have been a friendly
relationship between the Geist's and Derr's at that early time.

Note alsothe children Lovina born 1852, and Philip born 1855. These would appear
to be named after Elisabeth's brother Philip Boyer and his wife Lovina.
