Notes for Maria Catherine VAUGHT
The wife, and I are visiting her daughter in Virginia Beach, and on the way I found the original Moyers (Myers) cemetery in Jefferson Co., TN. Susannah Moyers mother (Maria Catherine Vaught 1717 - abt 1795), and brother (Christopher Moyers 1739 - 1815) are buried there along with about 30 others that are mostly unknown.
I would also suspect my William Presley Holder was buried there since he was living there with them at the time of his death in 1830.
Here is a couple of pictures of the cemetery in the middle of a cow pasture along Longs Creek on the north side of White Pine, TN It was the family orchard at one time.

Christopher Moyer Sr was probably born in Spottsvania County, Virginia. His name and his wife Catherines are found many times in the Hebron Lutheran Church records. His name was spelled Mayer, Moyer, and Meyers on the church rolls. The Easter Festival Rolls of the Hebron Church in 1777 show Christopher was designated "Sen" and directly under his name was Christopher "Jr" and his wife Catherine.
Christopher Sr entered into several transactions in Orange County, Virginia, some of these transactions were with his father, George. At least two of these land sales between George and Christopher referred to one another as father and son. Both signed their name with an "X" on all of their land transactions. Christopher Jr also made several land sales during this time and signed his name with an "X". It is assumed that the first three generations of Myers in America were illiterate.
The Hebron Church record of the first Advent Sunday in 1795 showed Christopher to be in attendance. He was probably about 75 years old at the time. His son Christopher, Jr had already moved to Tennessee at this time.
