    This source identifies Vincent as a descendant of the Swiss Mennonite preacher also named Vincent Meyer, but the lineage (through a John Meyer and Barbara Landis) appears to be incorrect. See notes on the page of Hans Meyer (35).

    cemetery inscription: "Vincent Myer, 1721-1797; aged 76 yrs., 10 mo."

    Based on other cemetery inscriptions given, it seems likely that only the death year and age were given and that the birth year has been derived.
