His parents were Michaelis Mayer (Meyers) and Annae Mariae Zinnen. The Meyers name is found spelled in many different ways including: Mayer, Meier, Myers, Mier, Meyer and Meyers. Karlshausen is a small municipality in the district of Bitburg-Prum in the Rheinland-Palitinate in western Germany about 2-3 miles from the border with Luxembourg Jacob had two brothers: John (b1822) and Michael (b1825) and one sister Anna (b1824). Jacob married Catharina Meier on Oct 2, 1855 in Karlshausen, Prussia. Anna Catharina Meier was born in March 1833 in Neuerburg, Prussia (less then 5 miles from Karlshausen); her parents were Matthiae Meier and Catherinae Peifer. Jacob and his brothers immigrated to the United States in the 1850s. The three brothers first lived in Chautauqua County, New York (western NY) where they each farmed. John near Dunkirk, Michael near North Collins and Jacob near Stockton. An 1860 US Census lists Jacob (age 33 born in 1827) living in Stockton, Chautuaqua County, New York, with wife Catharine (age 24) and daughter Anna (born in NY in 1858). An 1870 US Census lists Jacob Myar living in Ottumwa (age 42, a laborer born in Prussia), no wife mentioned, 4 daughters mentioned: Anna (age 12, born in 1858 in New York), Susanna (age 9 born about 1861-2 in New York), Margrett (age 7 born about 1863 in New York) and Mary (age 5 born in about 1865-6 in New York). Jacob's wife Anna Catherine must have passed away between daughter Mary's birth in 1865 and the 1870 US Census. That same 1870 US Census lists his brother John also living in Ottumwa (age 49, a laborer born in Germany), John's wife Margaret Laux and their children John (age 15), Mark (age 12), Catharine (age 11), Jacob (age 8) and Matt (Macey)(age 5) all born in New York. That same 1870 US Census also lists his brother Michael (age 47 from Germany), Michael's wife Margaret "Wagner" and their children Mary (age16), John (age 13), Margaret (age 11), Jacob (age 9) Sarah (age 8), Mathew (age 6) George (age 3) and Mary (age 0) all born in New York. There is no record of Jacob after the 1870 US Census and no record of Catherina after the 1865 US Census. Jacob's daughters Suzie (age 18 born in NY) is found in the Ottumwa, Iowa 1880 US Census working as a servant in the Nusbaum family and his daughter Mary (age 14 born in NY) is found in the 1880 Ottumwa US Census working as a servant in the Stoessel family. Jacob most likely died between 1870-1880 in Wapello County, Iowa. His brother Michael was buried in the Ottumwa Catholic "Calvary" Cemetery upon his death around 1888, it could be presumed that the Meyers family boys were all buried at the same cemetery.
