30. Anna Maria KERST^2,27 was born in 1763 in Berks County, PA.

Anna Maria KERST and Valentine BEYER were married about 1780. Valentine BEYER²⁷ (son of Johann Heinrich BEYER and Magdalene KIRCHNER) was born on 11 Nov 1751 in Amityville, Berks Co., PA. He died on 11 Oct 1823 in Amity Township, Berks Co., PA. He was buried in St. Paul's Cemetery, Amity Township, PA. Valentine was a farmer and inn keeper about one half mile north of Douglassville, PA. Anna Maria KERST and Valentine BEYER had the following children:

105	i.	Henry Kerst BOYER27 was born about 1792. Married a Hannah Yoder and had children Anna, Maria, Henry, Hannah and Eliza. I think this is the correct Jeremiah. By 1852, Jeremiah, Isaac & Henry, Executors of the Will of Mary Bunn, were deceased. William Uptograve was the guardian of Jeremiah's "only daughter" Catherine. Children of his brother Henry S. Boyer (wife Caroline) were Charles Henry, William Valentine and Anna Maria Boyer. Their guardian was Harrison Ludwig. Hannah Boyer and her daughter, Julia Ann Boyer, were the other heirs. The Inventory of the goods, chattels, etc. of Mary Bunn [8 August 1836] states that she was the widow of the late Jacob Bunn, deceased. Jacob's wife Mary is buried in St. Gabriel's Church Cemetery. I don't know where his first wife, Catherine Meck, is buried. According to the Amityville Lutheran Church Cemetery, where Henry K. & Hannah Boyer are buried, Henry was the son of Valentine Boyer.
