It is very possible that Martin Schuy's second wife, Margaret, was the widow of John Moyer (32).
Please see Margaret Unknown (1523) for a possible match. Her maiden name is unknown; she married John Moyer (32) and he died in 1793. She then married a man named Shuy/Shuey/Schuy.
I am not yet suggesting that we merge these files, but I am suggesting that we consider the possibility.
The "History of the Shuey Family in America" (referenced on that page for Margaret Unknown [1523], and available as a Google book) notes the will of Margaret Shuey, possibly the widow of John Moyer, and at the time of her will the widow of Martin Shuey, and notes the names of her thirteen children by John Moyer. The author of this book believed that Martin Shuey's widow had been married to John Moyer.
The same book also notes the will of Martin Shuey, naming his wife, Margaret and the names of their 5 or 6 children together.
It would be a lot for one woman to bear 18 or 19 children so perhaps Martin Shuey was married to two women named Margaret?
So how do we sort this out and proceed carefully?

Nora, we need other sources/documentation to merge, not enough proof yet. You can add the author's belief to John Moyer's widow's page, but we are still far short of proof to merge them.
