Margaret Myers Genealogy
Record modified: 2023-01-23
This is my ancestor 6 generations back.
Born: about 1767-00-00 Maryland USA
Died: 1845-12-00 Washington Co, Pennsylvania USA
Marriages:
1. Jacob Zentz
Children of Margaret Myers and Jacob Zentz:
Notes:
Soon after Jacob died she married Jonathan Casebeer 1752-05-12 Oley Hills PA d 1839-06-11.
In the administration of Jacob's estate is a document dated 1826-10-10 where Margaret is given her one-third of the estate. She states she is the widow of Jacob Zentz and now the wife of Jonathan Casebeer.
Many trees say she was the mother of Jonathan's children, but clearly that is wrong. They were all born long before she married him.

[John Zentz 23? or George Zentz 18?, Jonathan 78, Polly c19, Margaret 40ish, Margaret 63ish]
There's a pretty good chance George is already in OH, so the young male is more likely John.
Her grandson Israel, who should be 14, should be living with her. Is he the youngest male, mis-marked?
