52 By 1820, 56-year-old Stephen and his family were living in Bedford County, TN. I believe his older sons Benjamin, Henry and James (my direct ancestor) had farms of their own nearby. BOOTH Stephen S., Sr. (I12314)

55 Combined, the records strongly suggest he arrived in VA c1652. first appears in VA records in April 1651 in Lower Norfolk Co, VA, whose extant records start in 1637. His absence from the earlier records coupled with his frequent appearance in records after April 1651 is significant. While it is possible he lived for a period in one of the VA counties whose records have not survived, there is no indication this is the case. Instead, Lower Norfolk Co records suggest that when he arrived in the colony he already had significant assets and was considered a substantial citizen - by 1 June 1652, Thomas Goodrich was one of the Lower Norfolk Co justices. Combined, the records strongly suggest he arrived in VA c1650. Col. GOODRICH Thomas (I10415)

The following biographical information was shared by a descendant, Gl en Tiedeman.

Ludwig Moyers

By the Late B. E. Whitney, Washington, D.C.
LUDWIG MEIRER, Mier, Moyers or Myer, was b. in Hesse Cassel, Germany,
Abt. 1750. His name is spelled several different ways in the record s. He emigrated to America in 1775, and settled in Hamilton Twp., Monr oe Co., PA. His wife’s name was CATHERINE. In the Hamilton church recor ds there is the following: July 10, 1782 , baptized Johan Meirer, paren ts Ludwig Meirer and wife Catherine; sponsors Johan Topper and wife Susann a. The family of ‘Lodwick Mier’ was recorded in the census of 1790 as con taining one male above sixteen years, two males under sixteen, and three f emales. The following information is taken from a deed recorded at East on the 3d of April 1794. Ludwig Myer purchased a tract of land from Phil ip Bergstreiser on Feb. 18, 1786. Bergstreiser had obtained this land fr om Frederick Willen. On Apr. 22, 1802 Ludwig Moyers died, and was b ur in the cemetery at Hamilton church. At the time of his death he was l iving in Lower Smithfield Twp.

(1) CATHERINE ARNDT, who w as b. May 2, 1805, and may have been some relative of Henry Arndt., who li ved in the same township. Their first child was born June 7, 1828. The b aptism took place in the Smithfield church on Sept 7th with Henry Smith a nd Susanna Meyers acting as sponsors there were probably five other childr en born before 1843. The father of Jacob Moyers died August 26, 1850, b ut the mother lived until June 21, 1856. On Aug 30 of the same year the e ldest son, Peter, was married. It is likely that the migration of the fam ily to Laceyville, Wyoming Co, PA took place in early 1857. Mrs. Moyers d id not long survive the change. She died July 25, 1859 and was buri ed in the Lacey Street Cemetery. The widowed husband soon consoled himse lf bu marrying a young lady thirty years his junior. Her name was JANE BI RD, a daughter of John Bird (1756-1839) who served in the Revolution. T he second marriage of Jacob Moyers resulted in at least six children. T he father died on Feb 9 1874 and is buried by the side of his first wi fe in the Lacey Street Cemetery. Mrs. Moyers survived un 1909. I rememb er seeing her once when a child.

pp. 79. So. Mr. Brock in his notes correctly rep-resents the Bray arms, as inscribed upon the tombs in Bruton churchyard.

We have also the monuments of the ancient and excellent family of Brays:-
"Here lyeth the body of Col. David Bray, of this parish, who died 21st of Octo., 1717, in the 52d year of his age, and left his wife Judith and son David Bray, by "whom this monument was erected, in memory of him."
On the same is the following:-
.. Under this tomb, with her husband, lyeth )Mrs. Judith Bray, who departed this life the 26th day of October, 1720, in the 45th year of her age."
There is also a large marble monument, on one side of which is the following:
"Hie depositum quicquid habuit mortale Elizabeth Bray, una cum
marito desideratissimo ,qure langueti morbo consumpta animan resignavit
22 die Aprilis, aono 173? , ?etatis 32.. .Equanimiter, Fortiter, Pie."
On the other side as follows:
"David Bray, armiger, vir forma, ingenio, morum suavitate.....
serenissimo reji Georgia Secundo, Concilii in Virginia constitutus, tamen
ante munus susceptum, florente faetate lmorteabreptus, Elizabetham Johannis
Page armigeri filiam nutu primam, et sine prole maerentem reliquit, Octo. 17, aetate 32."
