Notes

[Ott Family Tree_Ver 8.FTW]
From Descendants of Hiram Meyer: CASPER ANDREW MEYER was born on 3 October 1805 in Oldenburg. He married Mary Elizabeth Kimberman. There is some confusion about her maiden name. The records from the Historic Church of St. Peter, 304 Shaffner Avenue in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, show the following records: Birth: Johannis Henricus, Baptized 12 May 1839. Son of Casper Myer and Elizabeth Kemler. Birth: Twins - Joseph, and Mary Elizabeth, Baptized 20 March 1841 - Parents, Casper and Elizabeth Kimberman. There is no record for Casper's marriage to Elizabeth Kimberman nor any death record for Elziabeth Kemler. On August 30, 1850 the Indiana census shows Casper Myers, age 45, born in Prussia, and William Myers, nephew, age 14 as laborers. Caspar's age does not match. They are in Steele Township in Davies Co. They did not stay in Indiana long and no other records were found there. On March 6, 1852 he bought 160 acres in the SW one quarter of Sec. 8, TWP 95, for $200.00. The 1856 Iowa census for Auburn in Fayette Co. shows the family: Myers, Casper, age 43, (this puts Caspar's yer of birth as 1813) born in Prussia, arrived in Iowa in 1851; his wife, Mary, age 43, born in Prussia; Caspar, age 18, born in PA.; John, age 15, born in PA.; Catherine, age 12, born in PA.; and Dina, age 1, born in Iowa. The 1860 Auburn census shows Casper and Mary as born in Oldanbrou. On 20 February, 1866 Casper Myers received 40 acres on Land Patent #14871 from the State of Iowa in Sec 10, Township 95, North of Range 9. The 1870 Auburn census taken on July 19, 1870, shows Myers, Casper, age 65, (puts his year of birth at 1805) a farmer, born in Prussia; his wife, M.E., age 58, (puts her year of birth as 1812) born in Prussia, and Diana, age 16, still living on the farm. By 1863, he sold all of the 160 acres. He bought 40 acres in the SE one quarter of the SW one quarter of Sec. 10, TWP 95, North of Range 9, on February 8, 1866 on an Iowa land patent. He was a land trader, buying and improving farms and then selling them. He died on 6 September 1872 in St. Lucas, Fayette Co., Iowa, at age 66.
MARY ELIZABETH KIMBERMAN was born 1807 - 1812 in Prussia. Several years after his death, on January 18, 1873, Elizabeth, sold the farm to Mathias Steffes and his wife Dinah (listed as her daughter in the sale record) for $1,800.00 according to the terms of Casper's will. V 33, page 622. NOTE: No record for Elisabeth was found after the sale of the farm. No death record or grave was found. She may have moved west with one of her children or re-married. A Mrs. Mary Meyer married Frank Gappa on March 25, 1880. The Rev. Frey performed the marriage. (Probably not connected). An Elizabeth Myers married Hiram Frances Hanson or Hauser on February 12, 1880. Rev. W. H. Wagner performed the ceremony
