In the family's parish records, the minister spelled the family's surname 4 different ways himself: Boyer, Bayer, Beyer, Beier . He's the one to blame for these merging snarls! However, I believe Henry Boyer is the paternal grandfather, not John Jacob as "The American Boyers" earlier editions claimed. I just discovered a clue in a solider's diary from December 1775 to support it.

Beier-16 and Beyer-406 appear to represent the same person because: Their parents are similar, their birth dates are the same, and their child, David, is the same. It appears to just be a difference in the spelling of the last name. John Jacob Beyer is my 5th Great Grandfather. They also used the spelling Boyer.
