According to J.B. Linn's history of Centre county PA, Philip may have had younger brothers Jacob, Henry (born 10-15-1764 died 05-17-1871) and Michael, and younger sisters Barbara (married Michael Motz) and Catherine (married John Meyer who came to Centre county in 1794). Henry was a colonel, Michael was the first blacksmith in Centre county but he later moved away. Their father was Jacob Meyer who lived in Middle Creek in Snyder county PA. Their grandparents came to Pennsylvania from Germany and settled on a creek they named Mill Brook in Lebanon county PA. It went on to say that Philip was a soldier in the Revolutionary War under Capt. John A Schaeffer's company and that Philip died in 1831. It did not ever mention if Philip moved to Ohio or not, which the ancestor Philip did, sometime around 1800. The death in 1831 is very possible, however, as that would make Philip about age 73 when he died.
