Parent-Proof notes for Elizabeth Moyer
She is linked to Daniel and Elizabeth (Drace) Moyer as her parents on find-a-grave.
The 1891 obituary of Eliza Mertz of Panther Valley said she was survived by her husband, sons Samuel A of Lehighton and W J of Pottsville and daughters: Mrs. Jacob Fisher of Panther Valley, Mrs. Frank Weaver of Birdsboro, Mrs Jacob Moyer of Tremont, Mrs. Charles Eiler and Mrs John A Weaver of Cressona and Mrs William Freece of Panther Valley.
I was able to easily find three of these daughters all of whom were buried at Cressona Cemetery. I have submitted edits to link all three to Peter and Eliza.
The death certificate of Catharine E (Mertz) Fisher says she was the daughter of Peter and Eliza (Moyer) Mertz. She is buried in Cressona and linked on her find-a-grave memorial to her husband Jacob.
The death certificate of Emma R (Mertz) Eiler says she was the daughter of Peter and Eliza (Moyer) Mertz. She is buried in Cressona and linked on her find-a-grave memorial to her husband Charles.
The death certificate of Anna Cosiah (Mertz) Freeze says she was the daughter of Peter and Eliza (Moyer) Mertz. She is buried in Cressona and shares a tombstone with her husband William Freese.

Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Peter (Spouse 1)
Sue Angelo has speculated that Peter from the 1850 Census in Manheim Township who is buried at Schuylkill Haven might have been the grandson of Heinrich. Maybe. But since it is known (or said by many people) that Peter Mertz who died in Orwigsburg in 1833 did have a son Peter, I have guessed that Peter of Mannheim was the son of Peter of Orwigsburg. He is designated J3b.
Death and Find-a-Grave notes for Peter (Spouse 1)
Peter is on find-a-grave and linked to his wife, both buried at Schuylkill Haven.
Peter’s will proved 27 Oct 1891. The will was not specifically dated, but when it was probated his sons said it had been written in 1874. He named wife Eliza and named his sons Daniel F and Samuel A his Executors. However, as part of the proving of the will, Samuel A Martz and his brother W J Martz certified that Daniel F was now deceased. And in fact, W J Martz was appointed the Executor.
