Lois Abromitis Mackin and Gigi Hickey: Who Was the Father of Henry B. Styer?
Henry B. Styer (1821-1898) was born in Pennsylvania. Descendants said his father was Henry H Styer (1800-1880) and Rebecca Wentz (1797-1895) BUT no evidence was found to support this assertion, Henry B NEVER appears in the same location as or in association with Henry H, and the will of Henry H’s mother Elizabeth (Greger) Styer (1779-1873) named her grandsons, including other sons of Henry H but did not include Henry B. Possible other Styer parents include George Detweiler Steier (1796-1877). DNA test of Henry B’s great-granddaughter matches descendants of George D. Have we proven the case?
