I’m looking for proof of a marriage between Hans Eyer/Eier/Oyer and Catharine Stauffer, widow. Our records state it took place in 1746, but that could be wrong. It was probably in Lancaster Co., Warwick Twp., or near there. We don’t have her maiden name.
Hello – For marriages that early, you will have to look at church records. Do you know what denomination the family might have been? You should look into churches in the area around where they were known to live. If you don’t find them on our site, you might want to go to https://www.lancasterhistory.org/. The staff there should be able to direct you to the location of church records for the area.
This is not directly related. I’m trying to find out information about an ancestor we believe is Mary Erie who married John Marker in 1821. The names in your note of Eyer and Eier caught my eye. Have you ever come across the Erie family or Mary Erie?
