2.Susan married Michael Dierstine Meyer (brother to Jacob different mother) https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/204527828/michael-meyer
Michael was born about 1762. His will was dated 9/1/1780 and probated on 8/5/1782 along with the wills of his father Jacob Sr. and brother Jacob Jr. Michael does not have a marked burial place but it is likely that the unmarked fieldstone next to Jacob Jr. is Michael's burial place.

Both brothers died around the same time. The bio states different years than the FAG for these 1/2 brothers but both around the same time.
Under fathers bio states both Michael and Jacob died 1782 FAG states 1780
He was a Mennonite minister and died of yellow fever. He was the father of ten children, three with Mary and seven with Barbara: Christian (1751-1826), Jacob (1753-1782), Maria (1754-?); Barbara (1770-?), Michael 1762-1782), Agnes (1764-1835), Samuel (1765-1847), Samuel (1767-1844), Joseph (1774-1815), and David (1777-1850).
