2) Hans Jacob Hiers Sr b: 1736. Source: Pricher, Otis M Anc & Cousins by Jerry Pricher.3) Comment: Source: Pricher, Otis M Anc & Cousins by Jerry Pricher, shows Hans Jacob Hiers Sr as father (i.e, his grandfather according to his current place on this family tree). Which is right? Johann Georg(e) Hiers b: 1736 (current father per this fam tree) is too young to be his father (14 years old ... so I doubt it). His grandfather (according to pricher), Hans Jacob Hiers Sr b: 1707 (at least according to this chart), is about 43 (again according to this family tree) and is certainly the more likely father.

Hans Jacob Hiers Sr b: 1736.
1) Pricher fam tree shows Hans Jacob Hiers Sr, father of Johann Georg(e) Hiers (i.e, his grandfather according to his current place on this family tree). Which is right? Neither seem too likely. Johann Georg(e) Hiers b: 1736 (current father per this fam tree) is way to young to be his father (14 years old...I doubt it), and his grandfather (according to pricher), Hans Jacob Hiers Sr b: 1707 (at least according to this chart), seems too old (43 is certainly possible tho' not likely...but more likely than a 14 year old father).Hiers, Hires, Heyer; Jakob, Jacob.
