THE JACOB S. MOYER FAMILY OF VAN HORNESVILLE, N. Y.


By D. \V. Kaufman 1524 Mason Street Dearborn),-Michigan


This account of the Jacob S. Moyer 'amily is an expansion of a brief ar- cicle which appeared In the Enter- prise and News of May 15, 1940. Ja- ob, S."Moyer was a well known and "yell-to-do farmer located midway between Van Hornesville and Cra- ner's Corners, on the west side of he road, and almost directly west of Starkville. He and his wife Eliz- beth (Moyer) Moyer lived, all, or nearly all of their married life on this farm. The present account of the family will start with Solomon Moyer, father of Jacob S.


1. Soiomon Moyer. According to Hardin and Willard, History of Her- kimer County, N. Y., Vol. 2, pp. 204- 5, "Solomon Moyer settied in Minden, Montgomery county, prior to the Re- volution, where he died during that war. He had four children: (2) An- drew, (3) Solomon S., (4) Jacob S., and (5) Nancy, all of whom raised families and lived to old age." Har- din and Willard's list of the children of Jacob S. Moyer agrees perfectly with family data possessed by the writer, so there is no possible ques- tion but that the Jacob S. Moyer is the same person in both cases.


The present writer has uncovered nothing to date bearing on the above statement by Hardin and Wiliard. All word-of-mouth information pos- sessed by the writer's branch of the Moyer family has started with Ja- cob S. Moyer. However, we have a fragment dealing with Solomon's wife, in a letter to the writer, as follows: "Ann Arbor (Michigan) Oc- tober 26 (1926.) Now Dale I will tell you something about your great great grandmother (Solomon Moy- er's wife) that you won't find in that book (Hardin and Willard); here it is: I have heard your grandfather say that she was in the war with the Indians and she hated them so if one came in sight of her, she would abuse him so, call him such vile names they would go any distance out of their way rather than put up with her abuse .- Aunty (Harriet Ann (Moy- er) Joslyn)."


Some very oid notes furnished the present writer by Harriet Ann Joslyn state "Jacob S. was in the War of 1812, and his father before him in the Revolution. He settled in the Fort Plains Country about 1740, from below Troy, on the Hudson."


Later in this article we will specu- late on the possibility that Solomon Moyer was a brother of Jacob Moyer of Minden, who married Elizabeth Walrath and on an alternative possi- bility that Solomon married a sister of this Elizabeth Walrath.


The children of Solomon Moyer, according to Hardin and Willard, are listed below, but we have no accur- ate information on any of them ex- cept Jacob S. Readers who may be able to throw light on Solomon or his children are urged to communi-


cate with the present writer:


2. Andrew.


3. Solomon S.


4. Jacob S.


5. Nancy.


4. Jacob S. Moyer. According to Hardin and Willard, ibid., he "was born December 18, 1781, in Minden, Montgomery County, and served in the War of 1812. He was also at Sackett's Harbor. He served in var- ious town offices as a Democrat. He was a leading Mason. He married in 1805, and Immediately afterwards settled on 170 acre in the town of Stark. He died June 30, 1871, aged 88 years and his wife (born Dec. 23, 1782), June 30, 1861, aged 77. They had 10 children, raising 8: 6 Nancy, 7 Katie, 8 David I., 9 Solomon W., 10 (a twin), 11 Betsy, 12 Peter, 13 Anna Eliza and 14 Lucinda."


The location of the Jacob S. Moyer farm was given in the first para- graph of this article.

Jacob S. Mover and his wife Eliza- beth are buried in the Van Hornes- ville cemetery, together with certain of their children. A row of tall mon- uments mark the graves; successive-I ly, of Peter Moyer, Thomas and Ann Eliza (Moyer) Golden, Betsey Moyer, Lucinda Moyer, Jacob S. Moyer and Elizabeth (wife of Jacob) Moyer. A short distance away is the grave- stone of John and Nancy (Moyer) Cramer. Beside the latter is the gravestone of their son Jeremiah Cramer.

The inscription on the monument of Jacob S. reads "Jacob S. Moyer died July 29, 1870, aged 88 years, 7 months and 11 days." The marker bears a Masonic square and compass. A granddaughter of Jacob S., Mrs. Hattie A. Joslyn, has stated that her father Solomon W. Moyer had a Masonic funeral, the procession being "over a mile long."


The inscription on the gravestone of Elizabeth, wife of Jacob S. reads: "Elizabeth, wife of Jacob S. Moy- er died June 29, 1861, aged 78 years, 6 months and 6 days." Her grave al- so carried a foot marker inscribed "Em."

Q-109-TALLMAN


David Tallman married Pamelia Sterns of Fredonia, Chautauqua Co., N. Y. She was born 1814, daughter of Abijah Sterns. Other children in the Sterns family were:


Issac, Ben, John, Frank, Ed, Sarah (married George Babcock.) Isaac married Abigail, lived near Dunkirk, N. Y.


David Tallman born 1802 near Lake George, Vermont.


I should like to trace the parents of both David Tallman and Abijah Sterns if possible. A son, George Tallman, born October 12, 1837 at Dunkirk, N. Y. was my grandfath- er.


Frederick Walrath and wife Cath- arine Walrath both born in New York state, I believe married at Uti- ca, N. Y. and moved to Sparta, Wis. in October, 1851. Frederick was a Methodist minister. Born after September, 1800. Catherine between June and September, 1803. Her maiden name was also Walrath. Their son Clifford Frederick born Sept. 7, 1841 at Sullivan or Utica, N. Y. my husband's grandfather.


Can you help me locate both Wal- rath parents ?


Joseph Stone born probably in Massachusetts Feb. 7, 1792 died at Defiance, Ohio Sept. 22, 1852. His wife was Polly Millington of Shrews- bury, Vt., daughter of Samuel Mil- lington. They were married Feb. 2, 1812 at Shwersbury, Vt. "She was born June 15, 1790, died Aug. 18, 1875-6 at Napoleon, Ohio. They lived in New York state in the town of Spafford as a son, Norman, died there Jan. 9, 1831, age 17 years, 3 months, 5 days.


. Their son Samuel born March 31, 1822, Spafford, N. Y. died June 2, 1910, Watertown, South Dakota was my husband's grandfather. I am hunting Joseph's parents.

THE JACOB S. MOYER FAMILY OF VAN HORNESVILLE, N. Y.


By D. W. Kaufmann 1524 Mason Street Dearborn, Michigan (To be continued)


According to George O. Pitcher, who married Elizabeth, daughter of John and (6) Nancy (Moyer) Cra- mer, Elizabeth Moyer "could not speak a word of English."


Hardin and Willard, ibid., speak of Jacob S. Moyer's wife as "Eliza- beth (Moyer) Moyer." The fact that It Jacob S. Moyer married a first cou- sin, Elizabeth Moyer, has come to the writer from many sources. has been repeatedly and Independent- ly stated by Rose Helen Kaufman (the writer's mother) and Harrie Ann Joslyn, granddaughters of Ja- cob S. It has also been stated by Maud (Cramer) Smith of Fort Plain, N. Y., a great granddaughter and by Mr. and Mrs. Dan Countryman of Van Hornesvilie, life-long neighbors of several of Jacob's children. All of the above have used this first cou- sin relationship to explain a marked ruddy color or fiush of the skin which was on all of Jacob's chld- ren except Peter. Regardless of present-day thought on the results of first cousin marriages, this par- ticular marriage is firmiy establish- ed.


What was the parentage of this first cousin, Elizabeth Moyer? The writer wishes to advance some spec- ulations, although they must be em- phasized as speculations only. We


must start with Dr. Solomon W. Moyer, son of Jacob S. who moved to Michigan in 1849. According to his daughters, Rose Helen (Moyer) Kaufman and Harrlet Ann (Moyer) Joslyn, he kept up a voluminous correspondence from his Michigan home with Jacob H. Moyer, father of J. Wesley Moyer. The daughters re- member posting many letters ad- dressed to Jacob H. and remember ·his recelving many In return. They have repeatedly told the present writer that their father Solomon W. and Jacob H. were first cousins, on the word of the former.


We have additional evidence to support this first cousin relatlon- ship. A family portrait album of Solomon W. Moyer in the writer's possession contains a photograph of Jacob H. Moyer and of his son J. Wesley as a child. Both photo-


graphs have been repeatedly identi- fied by the two daughters of Solo- mon W. on the latter's original word. We have the further fact that Harriet Ann (Moyer) Joslyn had visited at the home of Jacob H. Moyer, and later when It was the home of his son J. Wesley. Mrs. Josiyn furnished the writer a con- siderable mass of data on this Ja- cob H. Moyer family at various times, both verbally and in letters. We may consider the first cousin relationship of Dr. Solomon W. Moy- er and Jacob H. Moyer as reason- ably well established. This does not


necessarily mean


that the two fathers were brothers, although the writer was at one time told (and apparently erroneously) that such was the case. On the basis of this probably erroneous Information he formerly proposed to show (See the Enterprise and News article of May 15, 1940 on Jacob S. Moyer) that Jacob S. Moyer had a brother Hen- ry (1785-1860) who married Han- nah Walrath (1788-1860) and had numerous issue including Jacob H. Moyer (1811-1888), father of J. Wes- . ley Moyer (1856-1929.)


The writer must now completely withdraw this latter proposition. Hardin and Wiliard do not list Ja- cob S. Moyer as having a brother Henry, and furthermore, the facts known to date fit In much better with the speculation that Jacob S. Moyer's wife Elizabeth was a sister of Henry Moyer, who married Han- nah Walrath.


In this connection note Frothing- ham, History of Montgomery Coun- ty, page 211, stating "Moyer, Jacob, Minden, married Elizabeth Walrath and had the following children: Ja- cob, Peter, Henry, Nicholas, Mary, who married Abraham Zoller, and Elizabeth, who married Jacob Moy- er." We have no proof that the Henry listed by Frothingham is Henry (1785-1860) who married Hannah Walrath or that his sister Elizabeth married the (4) Jacob S. Moyer under discussion. If true, it establishes Jacob and Elizabeth (Walrath) Moyer as parents of Hen- ry Moyer who married Hannah Wal- rath and had son Jacob H. Moyer who had son J .: Wesley Moyer. It also establishes the parents of Eliz- abeth Moyer who married (4) Jacob S. Moyer. .
