John Oyster, witness to will of Johannes Boyer, 1742

Note that sometimes John George Oyster seems to show up under John Oyster
(although with the German Rufsnamen tradition, he'd show up as George
Oyster *or* John George Oyster).

I'd really like to see the Oyster families sorted out. The records on the family
are scarce and there's confusion which children married which. I'm not
sure of the source of Samuel Yoder's wife being an Oyster/Eister but
if she is, it would seem logical that she'dbe in this family.

From http://eister.com/eistergn/d40.htm

born on 1 Mar1703 in Stuttgart, Neckar, Wuerttemberg, (Germany). He died in Aug 1789 in Oley, Berks, PA

The Eyster Family by Anita L. Eyster
"John George Oyster was the oldest son of John Jacob. He arrived with his father but his exact age we donot know. His signature is found on the Petition for protection against the Indians in 1728, and he must have married about that time but the name of his wife is unknown. He wrote his name always John Aister or Oyster, on Deeds and on his Will and it is only the final settlement of his estate that we are able to identify him with the George of his father's Will. He was naturalized at the same time as his father but began to acquire land at an earlier date; 200 acres inOley was fully paid for by 1739, and this was the plantation (afterwards in District Tp., Berks County), which became the family Homestead. He also owned various other tracts in several Counties, which were sold after his
death. His oldest son, George, took the Homestead plantation, but since he died soon after his father, it passed to the grandson George. John George Oyster died in 1789, his second wife, the widow Catharine Arendts, having preceded him. He had four sons: George, just mentioned, who married Hannah Moyer; Samuel, who died 1767, leaving several children, of whom the youngest, Daniel, who married Elisabeth Reif, served in the Revolution with the rank of Captain, and lived in York County, where he died in 1798; Jacob, who married Magdalen Burkhouse and had several sons who inherited some of John George Oyster's lands and became the progenitors of the Oyster in Cumberland County and partly of those in Adams and Franklin.Samuel, Daniel and Jacob all lived in York and Adams counties. Of several daughters of John George Oyster, the oldest, Elizabeth, married John Yoder and the youngest, Margaretha, married Daniel Yoder, and was buried with him in the Yoder Ground at Pleasantville. Another daughter, Susanna, married Richard Adams anda fourth, Catharine, was married to George Schall. The Oyster family is still very numerous in Berks County." p.23 !NOTE: Naturalized 5/19/1739 He was married to Catherine (Arendts) ARENTZ in 1728 in PA.

Note: I still have slight reservations on having Peter in Samuel's family. That is,
knowing that Peter and Abraham bought land together makes me wonder if they
aren't in fact brothers. But then where would they fit??Iit seems they both came from
Oley Twp. Henry Schreckengast was the wife of Esther Yoder, d/o George Sr.
5/28/05 - no problem, Abraham is just his brother who went back to Berks!
