“Abraham Beyer, born about 1730 in Woreester Twp., Montg. Co., Pa., was a private in the 6th Battalion, Phila. County Militia, 1781, 3rd Co., Capt. Jonathan Lowry. He moved to Huntingdon Co., Pa. near Marklesburg in 1796 or 1799." [American Boyers, p 10 of addenda.]}

This cannot apply to Abraham Beyer [184-1], who lived and died in Montgomery County; it might refer to his son, Abraham [184-7].

Abraham Beyer also bought land from John Dickinson on Aug. 2, 1790. His will, signed Apr. 26, 1794, was probated Mar. 26, 1796. As his wife is mentioned, she was probably living at that time, but her date of death and place of burial have not been ascertained. The will of Abraham Beyer, Sr., Norriton Twp., Montg. Co., Pa., mentions:

“My beloved wife, Barbara: my daughter, Hester and her husband, John Read; my son, Jacob; my second son, Jacob; my daughter, Susanna.—aAll my children, namely, John Bayer, Jacob Bayer, Abraham Bayer, Henry Bayer, Andrew Bayer, Hester Read, Barbara Bayer. Executors: John Bayer, Jacob Bayer.”’ [Monig. Co. Will Bk. 1:498.]
