A biosketch of son Abraham H. Moyer reports [13]:

George W. Moyer, father of the Elkhart County contractor and builder, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, October 24, 1827, and as a young man he came to Indiana some months before his parents. He made the entire journey overland on foot. In Harrison Township he secured a tract of land when the greater part of that locality was in the midst of heavy timber, and when it was possible to secure a bountiful supply of provisions from the wild game that was so plentiful in the woods. After his marriage he moved to Marshall County, where he lived about two years, and then returning to Harrison Township bought a farm and continued general farming. In addition during each season he operated for a number of years a threshing outfit, and the motive power was supplied by an old fashioned turntable horsepower. Some years later he sold his land in Harrison Township and moved into Union Township, where he remained three years, and then to Marshall County, and lived in the eastern part of that county five years. Returning to Union Township he bought a farm, on which he lived until late in life, and spent his last days in Nappanee, where he died July 3, 1911, in his eighty-fourth year. George W Moyer married Mary Ingle, who was bom in Ohio. Her father, Mathias Ingle, came from Ohio to Indiana and was also an early settler in Harrison Township. By his success as a farmer he acquired a large tract of land in that and in Union Township, but finally sold his possessions in Elkhart County and lived in Marshall County for about ten years. Returning to Harrison township he bought the old Moyer homestead, but finally sold that and acquired a tract of land near Wakarusa in Olive Township, where he remained until his death. Mathias Ingle married Catherine Burns, who was born in Ohio, and surviving her husband died in Harrison Township at the age of eighty-one. Mrs. Mary (Ingle) Moyer now makes her home with her daughter in Union Township and though eighty-one years of age is still hale and vigorous. She reared eight children named : Angeline, Daniel, Abraham H., David, Catherine, Nancy, Susanna and Saloma.
