Biography

Fretz^[1] reports that Christian was born in 1755 in Montgomery County, son of Christian Meyer and Susanna Detweiler. He inherited 100 acres of the family property, but sold it after 5 years to his brother, Jacob, and moved to Springfield, Bucks County. He was a farmer and a Mennonite. He married Mary Freed and had children :

1. Susanna (1789-1878) m. John Smith (Fretz, p.68) ^[1]
2. Mary (1791-1869) m. Jacob Kindig (Fretz, p.62) ^[1]

Notes

Fretz does not mention Henry b.1778 as a son of Christian. Is there any evidence for including him in this family?
