• Notes

  Probably the son “Hans Jakob Eyer” listed as son of Benedict “Benz” Eyer., Also known as “Hans Oyer der Alte.” Referred to as "Mennonite" at Hermersbergerhof, Palatine, Germany in 1776 and 1777. In 1776, both Johannes Oyers are listed among subjects of the Duchy of Zweibrücken and were living at Hermersbergerhof. In both 1793 and 1796 records, Johannes was listed as a day worker/miller at Hingsange in Lorraine (Linstroff community, half way between Saarbrucken and Nancy). The Amish congregation there was named "Morhange" after a nearby town and it originated in the 1720s, when Anabaptists first appeared here. See IMH Sept 1989, p. 19, for a photo and description of Hingsange. [1, 2, 3]
