BEYER/BEIER
Still looking for parents of David Beyer married Sarah Crum 1745 First Reformed Church Fredericktown, MD.ALL the World Connect "uploads" have his parentage wrong.It was proven years ago that Andrew Beyer IS NOT This David's father. Andrew Beyer did have a son named David born after his death, over 10 years after David Beyer who married Sarah Crum.This "serious error" was published years ago, and has been copied by numerous individuals as fact, but it is very wrong as the Orphan's Court records of the children of Andrew Beyer prove.
My David Beyer (born 1763) - tradition states his father was John BEIER born in Germany, immigrated to America and died when David was young causing him to seek out a trade at an early age.David was born near Valley Forge, according to tradition, removed to Fredericktown, MD and in 1797 to Sinking Valley, Blair Co., PA.There is a David Beyer, son of Elizabeth (his mother's given name) who appears in records in MD.This Elizabeth was married to a John Beyer who was deceased leaving 3 children orphans recorded in Chester Co., PA.Orphan's Court records prove Elizabeth and John Beyer also ARE NOT the parents of David Beyer married Sarah Crum. (Even though the dates, names, etc "fit")
The legal representative of these children was also John Beyer, also NOT David's father.
Since immigration records of the mid 1700's are scarce or non-existence no ship manifest has been located.There is the possibility a "loading" of the ship's passengers is in Holland - the place family tradition says he sailed to America from, having come up to Holland from far south in Germany.
Please correct the World Connect uploads to show no parents of David Beyer married Sarah Crum.Does anyone out there have any data that can help solve this "mystery" of identifying David's parents???
