Moyer Farm Info:

Just to the east of the intersection of Soldier's Home/Miamisburg & Farmersville/West Carrollton, 1/4 mile or so, is a trailer park, Pine View Estates. At the very sout hside is a view back toward an old oak tree at the edge of the farm owned for many years by the Garrison family, by Herman Garrison, recently deceased and his wife, Margaret. The farm boundaries preceded the road. When the road was built after the 1913 flood the road followed the boundaries of the farm. There's nothing left now under that oak tree; it's all been razed and it's all smooth. Butch talked about how when he was growing up and they would be plowing in the fields, probably in the 70's and 80's, they would plow up bits of headstones. Where the trailer park sits said Bruch, is in the middle of 3000 acres that was bounded by Bear Creek up on the ridge, and there were all kinds of old stones houses up there. So there early farm may be right across the road from 7826 Farmersville West Carrolton Rd.

From The History of Montgomery County, Ohio by Beers (1882). "Henry and Elizabeth Moyer, natives of Pennsylvania, settled in Section 35, on the west bank of the Miami in 1804, where Henry died the following year. Their son, Peter, was but fifteen years old upon coming to this county, having been born in Berks County. Penn., September 7, 1789. Married Elizabeth Heck, of Jefferson Township, October 8, 1812, who bore him ten children. Both spent their lives in this township."

Look for the John T. Early farm on what is now Farmersville West Carrollton Road.

In those parts were the original state of Ohio lands owned by just a few families -- perhaps just 3 familes -- and all that there is now sits in the middle of what was once that.
