New Britain Township


   HENRY MOYER farmer, P.O. Line Lexington, was born in New 
Britain township, in 1852.  His paternal grandparents were 
Jacob and Elizabeth (Moyer) Moyer, who came to this township 
from Springfield, Bucks county, in 1829.  This couple were 
the parents of one son and three daughters.  Abraham, the 
oldest child, married Catherine Fretz, and Henry is a son of 
this marriage.  Mrs. Moyer died in 1854, and Abraham was 
married in 1857 to Eliza, daughter of John and Annie Lapp, 
of this township, by whom he had six children.  Henry Moyer 
was born and reared on a farm, attending the public schools 
until 17 years of age, when he took charge of the farm, and 
on the death of his father purchased it.  In 1882 he married 
Annie Eliza, daughter of Henry and Sarah (Moyer) Swortley, 
of this township.  They have one child, Martha, born in 
1887.
