These were the seven brothers Johann August Beyer (1730-1814), Prussian secret chief finance councilor at the general chief finance, war and domain directorate, president of the senior auditor's board in camera justice matters and first director of the law commission, married to (his cousin) Louise Henriette, a daughter of Halberstadt Chamber director Christian Leberecht Diet (e) rich (1710–1767), Eberhard Beyer (1739–1818), Prussian secret finance councilor and director of the general excise and customs administration, director of the main stamp chamber, Julius Heinrich Wilhelm Beyer (born July 24, 1743), Secret Cabinet Councilor, Friedrich Samuel Heinrich Beyer (1733–1790), inspector and chief preacher in Cochstädt, Samuel Christian Ludwig Beyer, inspector and chief preacher in Aschersleben, Johann Bernhard Beyer (born July 23, 1746), Prussian war and domain councilor at the Chamber Deputation in Bromberg, and August Friedrich Karl Beyer (born October 6, 1744), Prussian War Council, Oberakzise-, Zoll -, tobacco and mountain judges, and the sons of their late brother Albert Gottfried Friedrich Beyer (1738–1784), Prussian commissioner and chamber assessor at the Halberstadt Chamber Deputation, namely Johann Christian Albert Friedrich and Johann Karl Ludwig Beyer.
