Biography

Johann "John Henry" Henrich Boyer was probably born in February, 1708, in Flomersheim, Frankenthal, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. His parents were Samuel Beyer and Maria Kirsch. John Henry married Elizabeth Marie Zerbe May 31, 1730, in Tulpehocken, Berks County, Pennsylvania. John Henry passed away on 11 April 1757 in Tulpehocken, Berks, Pennsylvania, United States[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Baptism: He may have been the boy who was baptized Johann Henrich Bayer, the son of Samuel Bayer and Anna Maria on 15 February 1708 in Frankenthal. See attached image.

Part of a group of German-speaking Protestant refugees from the Palantine who were provided passage to America by the British government. They arrived in NYC and were settled in NY (Schoharie Colony, est. 1709). The British restricted each family to only 10 acres of land, which was inadequate for farming. In 1723, they petitioned William Penn to settle in Pennsylvania. Penn gave them permission to settle in western Pennsylvania, partly to serve as a buffer against the Indians. "Henry Boyer" is listed as one of the first settlers in the Tulpehocken Settlement in Pennsylvania[8]

1751 Speedwell Captain: Joseph Wilson From: Rotterdam 18 May 1751 Arrival: Halifax10 or 21 Jul 1751 Left with 229 passengers. Arrived with 212 passengers. Seventeen people died during the voyage (7.4 %). A large number of the passengers on this ship came from northern districts of Germany and Netherlands. The names on the reconstructed list have been rearranged according to their place of origin from the southwest to northeast. It is not possible to identify all the people on the ship because often a family would take an older parent or step children who are not easy to identify in the available sources, however all those in each household were listed under "Freight". The first number represents the number of adult males, the second number adult females, the third number represents the half-freights (children between 4-14), the fourth number represents children under four who were free, the fifth number represents the number of freights that were owed for passage costs, and the fifth number represents the total number of people in the household. The place of origin was generally the state, province, or city-state, however in some cases a town was listed (or the town might have been a small duchy or independent town in 1753). The actual towns of origin of these people will be verified in the future and updated on this site as time permits. My family settled in Ohio in the mid 1800s. Johann Heinrich BEIERimmigrated, came thru Schoharie NY in 1723 & soon after (?) moved to PA. His wife was Elizabeth Maria ZERBE. His second wife was Salome SUESS. I am slowly trying to track back to him for documentation. So far, I have not been able to find a ship list with him on it. His son, George, changed the name to BEYER, and his grandson, Rev. John, changed it back to the original? BOYER[9]

The Beginning of the Mass Migration of Palatines England needed new colonists for their new "Kingdom" in America. The Palatines had heard about this wonderful land across the sea. About Spring of 1709, the families began to sail down the Rhine to Rotterdam. The trip took 6 weeks. From April to October 1709 at least 13,500 were transported across the English Channel from Holland to England at the expense of the British government. The name of most of the Ramapo (Ramapough) group appeared on the shipping list for July. In December 1709, they boarded the ships and started along the coast of England but anchored several months and it was 10 April 1710 before they started across the ocean. There were 30 births at sea. The first ship arrived in NY in the middle of June. By July, 446 children and adults had died.

Three of those ships that arrived in June were the "Lyon" (?) and the "Lion of Leath" on 13 June 1710 and the "Lowestoffee" on 14 June 1710.

New York didn't like the fact of all these people in poor health arriving in NY, so they were camped out on Governor's Island. A change in government in London cut off support for the Palatines and on 12 September 1712, Governor Hunter told them they were on their on.

Some stayed on, but others moved north to Schoharie Co., NY, some went to PA and some went south to Raritan, Somerset Co., NJ. A group of about a dozen men moved their families to Ramapough (Ramapo). On 18 April 1713 this small group of German Lutheran Palatine men with their families and meager possessions arrived at Ramapo (now Mahwah, Bergen Co., NJ) Among the families, was Johan Adam Mueller (Muller/ Miller) and his wife, Anna Mary (Maria) Drauth and his children.

They settled in that area and organized into a congregation under Lutheran Pastor Justus Falckner.

In trying to locate the name of the place that Johannes Adam Miller and Anna Catharina Streit were married, Remobuch (Remobuack or Remebok), Bergen Co., NJ, I find "Campgaw near Remobuch NJ at Jacob DeMuth's". Campgaw is mostly in what is present day Franklin Lakes, but possibly also in present day Oakland, Mahwah, and Wyckoff.

Ramapough (Ramapo, and areas locations) was a precinct of Saddle River; also spelled Ramepough, Rammepough, Ramepogh, Rammepogh, Rammapough, Ramapogh, and then you have the Ramopock, Romopack, and Remopock.[10]

Heinrich's wives:

NAME: Heinrich Bayer
GENDER: Male
MARRIAGE DATE: 31 May 1730
MARRIAGE PLACE: Tulpebocken, Pennsylvania, USA
SPOUSE: Elisabertha Maria Zerwe
SOURCE: Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriages in Southeastern Pennsylvania[11]

Heinrich Bayer married Elisabertha Maria Zerwe, on May 31, 1730 in Tulpehocken, Pennsylvania (then part of Lancaster County, now in Berks County).[12] She is also sometimes referred to as Maria Elisabetha.

On March 10, 1754, he married Maria Salome Suess, in Tulpehocken. [13]

Heinrich's children:

Children of Heinrich Beyer and Elizabeth Maria Zerbe are:

1. George (Boyer) Beyer (1734-1806). (Called the eldest son in Heinrich's will. The baptism records for him and his brother Assimus have not been found. Both men have graves showing they were born in 1734. Something is off, unless they were twins.)
2. Assimus Asahel BOYER, b. 03 May 1734.
3. Eva Susanna (Beyer) Gordner (abt.1736-abt.1790). No baptism record found, but she is named in her father's will as Susannah.
4. Anna Maria (Boyer) Spangler (1740-1807)
5. Henry Boyer (1736-)
6. Samuel Beyer, born about 1742 (turned 21 in about 1763), no baptism found but named in father's will and subsequent estate records.

9. Johannes Beyer, born February 4, 1749, baptized February 6, 1749, baptismal sponsors Johannes Meyer and wife. [14] He is the only one of Heinrich's known children not named in his will, so must have died before the will was written on February 22, 1757.

Children of Heinrich Beyer and his second wife Maria Salome Suess (1710-1785)

10. Maria Salome (Boyer) Pfatteicher (1754-)
11. Catharine Barbra Beyer, born about 1755. No baptism record has been found, but she is named in her father's will as one of the two youngest children. Her elder sister was Anne Catherine Boyer (1745-), also named in the will. In 1772, she is referred to in her father's probate records as Barbara Schweyer, the wife of Peter Schweyer.
12. John Jacob, born Dec. 12. 1756; baptized by Casper Stoever on January 8, 1756 with Sponsors George Gaertner and his wife (the wife being John Jacob's half-sister Eva Susanna.[15]

Heinrich Boyer, p. 204 Heinrich Boyer (Bayer) was with the fifty families that came from Schoharie, N. Y., 1727. They followed to Pennsylvania to cast their lots with the original thirty-three families who settled in the Tulpehocken, Chester County, 1723. He took up a tract of land adjoining Martin Zerbe's and Albrecht Strauss' lands, in North Heidelberg Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, May 31, 1730. Heinrich Boyer married Elizabeth Maria, daughter of Martin Zerbe. Heinrich Boyer, b. 1689, d. 1757. His second wife was Salome Sneiss?. He came to the Tulpehocken to the vicinity of New Ringgold, then Northampton County, in 1749, where he built a block home that was a refuge for the settlers during the Indian troubles, in their flights to the Forts, Franklin and Lebanon, and in their final stampede to the other side of the Blue Mountain, and here Elizabeth Maria Zerbe died. The remains of a tunnel or ground cellar, in which they secreted themselves, could be seen until within the last few years, when it was filled up by the owner, Nathan Gerber. Heinrich Boyer's children were: Anna Maria, George, Assmus, Andreas and Henry. A copy of the bill of sale of Henry Boyer's personal property, held "in the Tulpehocken" (now New Ringgold), April 13-14, 1757, (Vol. II, No. 2, Pub. Schuylkill Co. His. Soc., pp. 159-167) shows his Zerbe kinsmen and George, Leonard and Michael Rieth and others from Tulpehocken to have been present and among the purchasers. The Boyers in Southern Schuylkill County are decendants of Heinrich Boyer[16][17]

Heinrich's property in Pennsylvania

  • On May 20, 1747, as Henry Bower, he warranted 50 acres in Lancaster County. He is shown as Henry Boyer in the Warrant Index for that warrant and Henry Beyor on his survey at Book C35-114 (101 surveyed acres). This land is today in Marion Township, Berks County, is part of Fell's Manor and is also part of the parcel shown in the northern part of the Lindemuth Map as "Hans Boyer." See also C.I. Lindenmuth's list of Tulpehocken Pioneer Homesteads.
  • Also on May 20, 1747, he warranted #83 on the Tulpehocken Warrant Map (see Survey A-113, 115 surveyed acres). Connected to the parcel shown on the Lindemuth map.
  • On April 5, 1753, he purchased land in Heidelberg Township, near St. Daniel's Church, from Joannes (van Hoesen) Van Hooser Jr. (bef.1697-1762) who was moving to North Carolina. [18] The deed provides that van Hooser had purchased the property from William Allen and that it abuts land of Abraham Luke and Michael Shower. That puts it within the large William Allen parcel in Heidelberg and very near the newly founded St. Daniel's or Corner church. Heinrich is said in the deed to be of Heidelberg, so he must have moved there at some point from Tulpehocken. This is likely the second plantation referred to in his deed, though since he wrote his will in Tulpehocken, he must have returned there before he died. Note: Joannes van Hoesen and his wife Elisabetha Christina (Laux) Van Hoosen (bef.1700-1784) sponsored four children of Heinrich's brother Andreas Beyer (1711-1768) at Christ Tulpehocken Church in Jefferson Township between 1733 and 1742. There seems to have been some sort of close relationship between the two families.
  • In his will, he referred to his two plantations, one where he lived and the other where his eldest son George lived.
  • After his death, on May 22, 1764, his executor Benjamin Spycker conveyed his 70 acre parcel next to George Lechner and Martin Stupe (a portion of the land shown on the Lindemuth map), to Geo. Frederick Keyser, for 1069 Pennsylvania pounds. The deed references Heinrich's will, and that both plantations were to be sold after his son Samuel reached 21, which he had then done. The deed was recorded on March 16, 1767 in Berks County Book 5, Page 179. [19]

Heinrich's will

He wrote his will on February 22, 1757, saying initially "It has pleased the Almighty God to lay upon me a heavy sickbed..." He names his wife Salome (to live in the new house) and his youngest children John Jacob and Catherine Barbara. He refers to his two plantations, one where he lives, other where his eldest son George lives. The first tract contains 100 acres of purchased manor land together with the right to 100 acres surveyed. The second parcel contains 70 acres of patented manor land besides some surveyed properties. His properties are to be rented until his son Samuel attains his full age. His 11 named children are all to have an equal share of the estate: George, Asahel, Anne Mary, Henry, Samuel, Susannah, Anne Catharine, Anne Magdalene, Salome, Catharine Barbra and John Jacob.

His eldest son George is to have an additional crown.

His executor was his friend Benjamin Spicker.

George Gardner & Nicolaus Swengel Jr. were named guardians for the youngest children (not referred to by name).

The will was proved on March 29, 1757.[20]

Heinrich's burial

Johann "John Henry" Henrich Boyer is thought to be buried:

Heidelberg Cemetery
Robesonia
Berks County
Pennsylvania, USA[21]

But note that the death date given in that source (Findagrave) is incorrect and there is a note: "Burial is unknown per family history attached."

Research Notes

Heinrich's immigration to Pennsylvania:

Although several secondary sources, as provided here, have concluded that he was in the 1709 immigration to New York, no evidence has been found, including on any of the passenger lists, the Hunter Lists or in the work of Henry Jones. The idea may have come from the fact that he married Maria Elisabetha Zerbe in Tulpehocken in 1730, quite early to be there, and was an early landowner in Tulpehocken, as shown on the Lindemuth map and surveys.

However, he is also thought to be the son of Samuel Beyer (1662-1732) and the brother of early Pennsylvania immigrants Andreas Beyer (1711-1768) and Johann Philip Beyer (1701-1753) (maybe not proven that the Tulpehocken and Frankenthal Henrich's were the same, but seems reasonable). Samuel died in Frankenthal. Philip probably did not arrive in Pennsylvania until sometime after his daughter Elisabetha was born in Frankenthal in 1724. If Henrich was born in 1708, he was too young to have gone to New York on his own. It seems more likely that he arrived in Pennsylvania with his siblings sometime in the 1720s, and made his way from Philadelphia to Tulpehocken in time to marry Maria Elisabetha Zerbe in 1730.

Another Heinrich Boyer

Another man, Heinrich Boyer (abt.1720-1757) of Towamensing, then in Northampton County, was killed by Indians in 1757. According to the records of those killed, he lived east of the Lechy (i.e. Lehigh) River. Tulpehocken is west of the river.

Various places associated with him:

American Boyers says on page 262: "he was probably a member of the "Little Tulpehocken" congregation much earlier, and of the St. Daniel's or Corner Church near Robesonia after 1751, as Rev. Caspar Stoever's records appear to show...it is likely that they [i.e. Heinrich and his wives] might be found in the old part of St. Daniel's (Corner Church) near Robesonia, Pa., unless the burying plots were private on some farm belonging to the family."

He sponsored at least three times at the Christ Little Tulpehocken Church in what is today Jefferson Township, Berks:

The Stoever records at St. Daniel's have not yet been identified, but in 1753, he purchased land very near St. Daniel's church, as noted above.

Also, the Blue Book of Schuylkill County says he built a block house in New Ringgold (today in Schuylkill County) in 1749, as noted above. Is this accurate, and where was this block house? His son Asahel settled in Schuylkill County in the neighborhood of Hetzel's church, where he is buried.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Heinrich by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Heinrich:

I have been researching my 1st cousin's wife's genealogy. I have landed upon a Ann Mary Boyer Spera who was married to Johann Wilhelm (Spiera) Spera. Johann Wilhelm (Spiera) Spera (1735-1789) She is mentioned in your "Other Information" section as a daughter of Johan Heinrich Beyer. On Familytree.com and Findagrave.com it is mentioned that Heinrich and his wife had twin daughters Anna Maria and Anne Mary, both born on 7 Apr 1740, one marrying a Spengler and the other marrying a Spera. Supposedly it has been confirmed thru DNA testing that both sisters exist.

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GLMX-MXH

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/121522202/anne-mary-spera

I was wondering if a profile for Anne Mary (Boyer) Spera could be created as an additional daughter to Heinrich and Elizabeth, so that I could link her to Wilhelm as his wife.

Also, on the listing of children in Heinrich's will there was a Mary mentioned which has not been accounted for on this profile. (see photo from https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2020/364/219993293_a4d0b50b-82bb-4ecc-90e1-635001a394d8.jpeg )

The image on the Findagrave record is from an unreferenced family history, and I think it has too many commas in the listing of children. The original estate papers are on Ancestry (so behind a paywall) but they list children : (i) George, (ii) Asahel, (iii) Henry, (iv) Anne Mary, (v) Samuel, (vi) Susannah, (vii) Anne Catharine, (viii) Anne Magdalene, (ix) Salome, (x) Catharine Barbara, and (xi) John Jacob.

https://www.ancestry.com.au/imageviewer/collections/8802/images/005538036_01971

I'd be reluctant to accept "DNA evidence" without knowing more details of who had tested, what sort of test they did, what sort of matching they had, etc.

posted by Gina Meyers
That said, I'm not finding anything obvious to confirm that Anne Mary married either Peter Spangler or William Spera.

Also, can anyone say what "Image 2" and "Image 3" attached to the profile are about?
posted by Ann Risso
Beyer-552 and Beyer-64 appear to represent the same person because: There is not much informatio on Beyer-552, but the marriage date shown there is the same as the first marriage date of Beyer-64 - May 31, 1730. On Beyer-552, the place of the marriage is said to have been St. Daniels, Robesonia, Berks, but that church wasn't founded until 1751. I think these profiles were both intended to represent the same person.
posted by Ann Risso
I did some reorganizing of this profile, removed some of the gedcom clutter and duplicate info, but more work is needed. Also what do others think about removing, or at least editing, references to the 1709 migration from NY? I haven't seen any evidence that he was part of that journey, and it seems unlikely given his age and likely relatives.
posted by Ann Risso
Boyer-1988 and Beyer-64 appear to represent the same person because: The name is interchanged as both spellings but the info about them are the same. Please allow the merge.

In the list of their siblings on Samuel Beyer-2's pages # 6, 12, & 16 are probably the same; 15 & 18 the same; 14 & 17 the same; and 10 & 11 the same. I am trying to correct but difficult at times. Sorry, these duplicates are Boyer-1988 & Beyer-64's father. Thanks
