IV. REBECCA ROYER, DAUGHTER OF III. CHRISTOPHER
 
IV. REBECCA ROYER, p. 223, was born in Lancaster Co, Pa.,
and after moving to Buffalo Valley, Union Co., Pa., late in life,
was married to Jacob Showalter. She survived him, and died at
the residence of her brother, IV. Joel Royer, in Union Co. She
is buried in the Kelly cemetery on one of the farms of Joel Royer.
She was baptized into the Brethren Church in Lancaster Co., in the
year, 1823; and in the church record is designated "Pecky Royer."
She had considerable means, and after her death her estate was di-
vided among her numerous nephews and nieces. She was a wom-
an of strong character, and evidently took no little interest in her
family's history. It was through her that the record of the family
of II. Emig Royer, p. 17, has been preserved to us.
