Styer Family History

My brother has family info which I copy here:

"Here is a list of my ancestors as far back as we can trace it:

• John Nicholas Steiger (married Anna Catherine)
• John Stephen Steiger (married Gertrude Steger), born Aug 12, 1688, died 1736. He and his wife were the first to come to America, somewhere around 1710.
• Jacob Steger (married Christiana Spare), born Sept 23, 1719, died March 13, 1777.
• Leonard Steger (married Mary Tyson), born May 24, 1768
• Cornelius Tyson Styer (married Rosanna Fairchild), born Sept 18, 1807, died March 20, 1872
• Cyrus Fairchild Styer (married Harriet Brugler), born Feb 25, 1843, died 1920. He served in the military for six weeks of the Civil War as part of Company A, 13 Regiment, Pennsylvania Militia, to help repel the invasion of Pennsylvania by the Confederates in 1863, and took part of Antietam.  Harriet Brugler was the granddaughter of Peter Brugler who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
• Charles Cornelius Styer (married Emily Crossley), born Dec 16, 1888, died Oct 9, 1964.
• Howard Francis Styer
• me!

Note: My records are not consistent on if the 'Steiger' or 'Steger' was used for the early ancestors."

My brother also has a family photo from our 50th family reunion in 1998:

Many of our relatives are buried in the Columbia Cemetery in West Hemlock Township, Columbia Hill Road, near Danville, PA.  

Here is a 2011 photo of my mother's side of the family (she had 8 siblings, my dad had 11 siblings, I have over 100 cousins):
