I have a note from a cousin reseacher of the Meyer/Meyers family concerning Conrad Geesy, as follows: From "Pennsylvania German Pioneers", Vol. 1, pp 198, 200, and 202, we learn that Ludwig Meyer (aged 20), Martin Meyer (aged 18), William Meyer (aged 16), and Adam Meyer (aged 30), were passengers on the ship Winter Gally, Edwar Paynmter, Commander, and arrived at Philadelphia, from Rotterdam, Sept. 5, 1738. Ludwig Meyer married Susanna ____. On April 4, 1753, her second husband, Conrad Geesy, petitioned the Court at Easton, PA, for appointment of guardian for the minor children of Ludwig Meyer (his wife's first husband). The children named were: Martin (eldest son); Hans Michael (or Michael); Sebastian; and Catharine. The guardians were Johannes Shalter, the grandfather of Upper Milford (now Lehigh Co.); Martin Meyer, an uncle; and Susanna, the mother. Subsequently, on Dec. 21, 1753, John Jones, of Bethlehem, was appointed in place of the uncle, Martin Meyer. Does anyone know about any of these people?
