Notes Dates of birth and death from unsourced account. A middle name, Elizabeth, is reported, but unsourced. Marriage license: Peter Boyer and Catherine Hersberger, 25 May 1820, Frederick Co., Maryland. (Dodd, Jordan, Liahona Research, comp., Maryland Marriages, 1655-1850 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2004.) Marriage license: Peter "Boyle" & Mary Herring, 12 Mar 1838, Frederick Co., Maryland. (Dodd, Jordan, Liahona Research, comp., Maryland Marriages, 1655-1850 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2004.) The reported 1844 year of death for Catherine Boyer (née Hersperger is clearly incorrect. The maternal grandfather of Amanda Catherine Huffer (née Boyer), "Peter Boyer, was born in Montgomery County, Md. [...] Peter Boyer was married to Catherine Hershberger, a sister of Susan (Hershberger) Dare, the mother of Miss Lizzie Dare, of Jefferson, Md. The children of Peter and Catherine (Hershberger) Boyer are: 1, Jesse, died in Middletown, Md., September 20, 1893, aged seventy-two, his widow Mary Elizabeth (Pine) Boyer is still living; 2, Ezra, died in Missouri, in 1904; 3, Wilson, died in California; 4, Greenberry, died in youth; 5, Mary C. (Mrs. Daniel Arnold); 6, Cordelia, widow of James Rhoderick; 7, E-----, resides in Texas; 8, Henry, of Colorado. Mrs. Boyer died in 1844 [sic ]. Mr. Boyer's second wife was Mary Hershberger, a sister of his first wife. Peter Boyer died in Jefferson, Md., in 1860 [sic ]." (Bio. of Oliver Augustus Huffer in: Folger McKinsey, History of Frederick County, Maryland, vol. 1 (Frederick, Maryland: L. R. Titsworth & Company, 1910), p. 1605.) Child number 7 is John Everest. A bio. of Henry Boyer reports that his parents "Peter and Mary Catherine (Hersperger) Boyer)" had ten children of whom eight lived to maturity, but the bio. appears to conflate the names of his step-mother Anna Mary and mother Catherine.
