Sixteen children - eight by each wife.  

This is one of those lines that has caused a great deal of online squabbling.  

Johannes Meyer's second wife was incorrectly listed as Maria Everett in the county history.  

For many years every one thought that the Everett line, with all it's colorful history was correctly

attached.   The discovery of pastoral records has since caused this error to be corrected and

Johannes's second wife has been correctly identified as Anna Marie Frey.  It is my opinion that the

misunderstanding arose because the Frey children were taken in by the Everett's when orphaned.  

This family is connected to me in the following way.  Johanne Meyer and Maria Schmidt's seventh

child was Peter Moyer.  He had a daughter named Amelia who married Solomon Zelner.

She had a daughter named Sara who married Herman Funk.   Sara had a son named Harry.  Harry had

a daughter named Thelma who was my mother's mother.
