new info: Aug. 2, 2014 from Carole Conrad
"William Henry Boyer,
(son of Col. John Bowyer and Mary Becker)
was born 1763 Grayson, Va D: 1821 Grayson, VA
he married Elizabeth _____."
CHILDREN: Elizabeth Boyer B: 1780 Grayson VA D: abt. 1813
She married Daniel Delp on 29 March 1812 Grayson, VA
Daniel, son of Peter Delp & Eveline Reichbacher

There is a tree that gives another child, John Bowyer b: 1777--married Mary Polly and he died 1873
they give the father William Henry Boyer married to Elizabeth being born in Of, Grayson VA 1763
and dying March 1821 in Independence, Grayson Co., VA
and John Boyer 1737 as father and his father as Michael Boyer.

There is a memorial for Col. John Bowyer #10603130 date of birth: 1730--place of birth unknown.
In 1753 when he was 23 years old he married Magdalena Woods-Boyer B: 1706, SHE WAS 24 years his senior.. and then in 1761 IN Pennsylvania, 49 years before Magdalena died at age 104...John is supposed to have married a second wife. Hopefully he divorced Magdalena.
The wife that is given is Mary Becker as his second wife as of 1861..??? and they had 3 sons: William Henry in 1763, John in 1767, and Peter 4 April 1771. And then in 1805 John died. A tree gives his place of birth as Germany.

I did do the link just in case it is correct. There are too many things in this that make me wonder... John marrying a "beautiful woman" 24 years older than him???
this is the previous info: turns out this is the wrong family for us Delph's But decided to leave William here until someone claims him for their line.

**NOTE; from familysearch.org "there are lots of Boyer families that lived in the same area of Virginia"... So the above info MAY or MAY not be OUR Boyer family info but since I can not find anything else that resembles the data I have already found/or received from Carole Conrad et al. I will go with this until someone PROVES it to be incorrect....
