General Notes: Husband - Jacob Meyer

---

This family moved from Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, in March, 1826, on a farm near the village of Penn Hall, Centre County.

In March, 1828, he came to Penn township, locating on the pike west of Millheim, and became one of the most substantial farmers of Penn's Valley. On coming to the county he had practically laid aside active business cares, but purchased 270 acres of fine land for the benefit of his children, whom he left in comfortable circumstances. He was a man of fine physique, over six feet in height, of a most kindly disposition, making no enemies, and always sacrificing himself to avoid a quarrel. He was a prominent member of the Penns Creek Church, Reformed and Lutheran, to which he was a liberal contributor, and was a stanch Democrat in politics.
