Peter and Salome were living in Springfield Twp, Bucks Co, in 1791; in Rockhill Twp, same county, April 2, 1792, when with Salome, his wife, he conveyed 8 acres of land in Springfield Twp. See deed-Book No. 26, pages 382-2. January 23, 1796, he bought a tract of land in Haycock where he then resided, and which with Salome, he wife he conveyed May 14, 1798. See "Deed Book 29," p. 164, and Deed Book 30, p. 38.
The records of the "Bureau of Pensions, Department of the interior." Washington D.C. shows that Salome [Brode] Meyer Widow of Peter Meyer and daughter of Samuel Brode, received a pension for the services of her husband in the Rev. War. He was Sergeant in the Company of Manus Yost in the First Regiment of Foot in the service of the United States, commanded by Col. John Keller. "Penna Archives, 5th Ser. Vol. 5" p. 426.
According to family records furnished 1910, by Mr. Trabue Van Culin of Los Angeles Cal. We have 3rd Gen. William Meyer, son of Peter and Salome Meyer, was born 26 March 1802 and died Oct 28, 1874. He married Susannah Bonstein, Born June 8, 1800, died April 28, 1887.
They had: [4th Gen] Samuel William Meyers, born March 21, 1826, married March 22, 1853, Emmaline George born Dec. 26, 1834. They had Viola Meyer, married Dr. P.M. Kern, Willis E.

There is also a chart showing that Peter and Salome Meyer had two other sons, Michael and Peter, the former being the father of Judge Oliver H. Meyers of Easton,Pa who was Judge of Northampton County 1875-1885.
There being no Roll of the Associated Companies of Haycock Twp, commanded by Captain Manus Yost, we cannot prove that Lawrence Meyer was Sergeant in this company. However, his name appears in the Alphabetical List of Revolutionary Soldiers, in the Pennsylvania Archives. A Lawrence Moyer is also on record as having served two months as substitute, under Liet. Jacob Morgan of Berks Co, see Penna. Arch. 5th Series Vol. 5 p. 205.
Frederick Vogel and John Geringer, both Palatinates, were maternal ancestors of the sons of Minnie Meyer Van Culin. Lawrence Meyers [Soldier] a Palatinate. Came to this Country in 1731 at the age of 16 years. Settled in Montgomery Co. where he died. Peter Meyers [Soldier] moved to Northampton county from Bucks Co when his son Michael was 5 years old. Michael Meyers, [a brother] was a native of Bucks Co. Judge Meyers [a cousin] was born in Bethlehem Twp, Aug. 21, 1827.
The name was spelled Mayor not Meyers as late as 1825. This information was gained from a paper at the time of death of Judge Meyers.

Note:
The earliest ancestor of whom we have definite knowledge is Samuel Brode who married Anna Barbara Berkstresser. We do not have the dates of the birth, marriage or death of Samuel but we have the date of death of Anna B. wife of Samuel Brode recorded on the grave marker in the Fockler Cemetery in Saxton, Pa. The inscription reads: d. Mar 18, 1853, age 88 years 19 days.
The Brodes are of German descent being known as "Pennsylvania Dutch" The name is not uncommon along the Rhine today. They lived first in Bucks Co, Penn. At least some of the children including Jonathan were born there. The family later moved to Bedford Co, near the town of Saxton, where the house in which they lived is still standing.
