Two individuals have been consolidated into one person in this profile. Johan George Meyer, who appears in German Church records available at Ancestry.com and familysearch.org, as Hans Jerg Maier with wife Sibylla, Hanss Jerg Mayer with wife Sybilla and Jerg Mayer with wife Sybilla had three children baptized in Heutsingham, Neckarkries, Wuerttemberg, Germany, Johann Georg in 1725, Christian in 1727 and Maria Sarah in 1729. They are his only known children.

“Arrived in Philadelphia 25 November 1740 on the ship LOYAL JUDITH, captained by Lovell Painter. Most of the rest of the 265 passengers were Palatines. It's not clear whether Johann was accompanied by his family on this first arrival; they may have followed later after he had found land and established himself.” [sic: This man could not have arrived on the Loyal Judith on Nov 25, 1740. The only Meyer was listed with various spellings of Jorg Karl Meier and was listed as being 23 years old, i.e., born 1726/27.]

“He helped establish the German Reformed Church in York County, Pennsylvania, in 1744 and later became an Elder and a trustee.”

“He migrated to North Carolina sometime after 1755.” [sic: His last record is Pennsylvania in 1763.]

“It's not known whether he married his 2nd wife, Catherine, in Pennsylvania or in North Carolina, after 1755.” [sic: No, that’s his son]

“It seems unlikely that Johann lived to be almost 100 years old. However, there is documentation that he was married c.1720, and he had several children by 1727.

And he wrote his will on 23 August 1799.” [sic: No, that’s his son]
