CONRAD SHIMER, the second son of Jacob and Elizabeth Scheimer, was born 1736. He is named in his father's will as one of the executors, with his elder brother, Jacob, but he died single, December, 1760, leaving that which his father had left him to Jacob. It appears that the sons of "old Jacob" did not marry young. Conrad was between 24 and 25 when he died, single; his brother, Jacob, was at least 25 when he "took unto himself" Rosina Seip; and Edward was 24 when he was married.
