    • Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer 1890

      George (John Jacob, Jacob, Gr. Meyer) was married to Mary Snyder. The family lived near Jersey Shore. George was born Oct. 5. 1794; died Oct. 25, 1849, and is buried in the cemetery midway between the mouth of Pine Creek and Jersey Shore, along the south side of the canal. I presume this is the old burying-ground in which George's father is interred, and several of his (George's) brothers. George's widow was still living in 1888, aged 83 years, I believe. She resides in Williamsport, Pa.
