General Notes: Husband - Henry Meyer

---

He came from the Palatinate, Prussia, and settled permanently at the head or spring of a small stream which he then named "Muhlbach," situated in the southeastern part of the present limits of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. He was accompanied by his wife, and the couple then had one or two children. Their earthly possessions, consisting of some clothing, several pewter-plates, an axe, a German hymn-book and Bible, and several other indispensible articles, they carried in bundles, and began house-keeping under the friendly protection afforded by the spreading branches of a large white oak tree close to the spring just mentioned. The family arrived at the place at about four o'clock in the afternoon of a certain day in the month of August. The woman sat on the ground and wept; the father took his axe and began to clear the ground. The country then was a vast wilderness in which wild animals and Indians were abundant. The family had neighbors, but they were few and far between, and all equally poor. It is said that two brothers of Mr. Meyer accompanied him to America, one of whom also settled in Pennsylvania, and the other moved to South Carolina. The date of the arrival of the Meyer immigrants in the new country is only approximately known, but it appears to have been about the year 1719.
