How about a page for "Myths." Unproved stories. Like, there was a Cy
Johnson according to Chalmer Logan who went up "the hill" with Roosevelt, got
injured and received a pension the rest of his life.
I've asked other relatives in Allen Co. + SEARCHED the web + found
nothing..........so far.
A sample of another myth is when my gr. grandfather sat up in his coffin in
his home.
I'm sure it's true, but have no proof. This was told to me by my dad, (still
living) and he wasn't there. He was six and the year was 1936. To say that
gr. grandfather Romanowski scared the underwear soiled is being polite
according to my dad. Gr. grandfather was 6' 6" and needed 8 pallbearers.
I guess things like this. "Stories"
Lynn, looking for Logan's, Johnson's, + Klenke's.
ps we named our only boy Max Logan Mills for his gr. granddad.
That sounds great, as long it is label myths and legends.

I am working on making and gathering information to put on an Allen
County website and I was wondering what kind of information you would like to
see included. I am open for ideas if anyone has some. Is there anything you
would like to see included in the website such as churches, pictures, and any
information that is otherwise. If anyone has any ideas on what you would like
to see put on an Allen County website please let me know. Thanks for your
time and good luck on your research!
Best Regards,
Brandi
I don't have any of these Myers. Does anyone have any information on them?

My ancestors' house is the old farm house just south of Dutch Ridge church.
It looks wonderful, as do many old homes in Perry Township. I was very
impressed.

Sherri,
If you come up with any Myers names, I'd sure be interested. I'm searching
for a connection to my Myers ancestors who lived in the Dutch Ridge area
(Huntertown) of Perry Township.

Brandi,
A history of when the county was started. Who was the first people there. Why
did they make the county seat where it is out. I always wonder why my ancestors
move to a certain county, what brings them there. If it is farming, hunting,
fishing etc.,

Theresa,
Thanks so much for looking. My Myers' ancestor's farm was the one directly
south of the Dutch Ridge Church, on the west side of Auburn Road. It
consisted of about 70-80 acres, I think.
Would you mind looking near Huntertown to see if any Myers/Meyers are listed
there? I really appreciate it! On the 1910 and 1920 censuses, Israel and
Kate Myers (my great-great-grandparents) were apparently living close to
town. I don't know if they were renting or not. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Karen,
I cannot find any Myers on section 11 of Perry township in my 1918
plat book. The major land owners then were an M. Warner, N. Snyder, J. &
C.M. Akey, Benj. Vandolah, J,F.Belot, A. Guielin (?) H.W. Lesh and J.W.
Hutson. There is one 12 acre tract with initials L.W. and another 10 acre
one G. W???????? (I can't make it out.)
Sorry I could'nt find the Myers name there, but this information may
narrow the time period in which the family lived there.
Theresa Martin
Can anyone tell me how many township maps there are for Perry Township that
show land ownership? I have copies of the 1880 and 1898, which both show my
Myers ancestors in Section 11.
Are there others?
Thanks,
Karen
Do you know any more about these Myers folks? Maybe they "belong" to me and
I just don't know it.

Well, I've been lurking here and will add my two cents worth. I have Myers
folks mixed in with my Allen Co. Hollopeters and Stevicks. If these ring a
bell with any of you Myers researchers, I would love to compare notes:

I can't believe it, but I did find a Myers, Byers connection in my notes.
Harry Mancel BYERS
born 21 Novemebr 1901
to
Ernest R. Byers of Ohio
and
Clara E. Myers of Ohio.
It's a delayed birth record of April 30, 1942.
Of course I have no idea who Ernest R. Byers or his son is.... but I do
have a lot of other Byers in my lines from that area.... still searching.

GILBERT GOOD BYERS LHAMON FLEENOR
I've been watching this Myers/Monroeville thing fairly closely, because I
*think* I have some distant relationships in within the Monroeville Myers,
mainly because my grandmother's things had a couple Myers funeral cards,
plus there were Myers listed on my great grandparents funeral records as
attending AND in my grandmother's things I have a photo album that I think
has a few pictures of Myers in it.
Whew. Yet I have not yet made the connections.
However, here is my lineage, perhaps that will help things out.
My father is Gary W. Gilbert. My mother, Patricia Ann Fleenor or Fort
Wayne.
His father was Carl Jennings Gilbert of Convoy, OH. (Really near
Monroeville) His mother was Mildred Irene Good. She is my grandmother and
the one that has left me these wonderful bits of photos and such.
Her parents were George Christian Good of Gar Creek, Milan TWP, IN and Dora
E. Byers of Monroeville.
Carl's parents were Martin Jackson Gilbert of Convoy and Rosantha Ellen
Lhamon of Van Wert.
Martin Jackson Gilbert's father was James W. Gilbert of Convoy/Van Wert.
George Christian Good's father was Henry Adam Good Sr. of Gar Creek, IN.
I suspect that the Myers, married into the Byers lines of my grandmother's
mother's family. This is just a guess right now. I am only into genealogy
about a year and half right now and have been to the Allen County Public
LIbrary now THREE TIMES!!! Not nearly enough, this is for certain! I live
in Perrysburg Ohio, which is about an hour and 15 minutes away, but I have
small children (7 and 11) and they don't think spending 12 hours in a
library is much fun. A couple hours, yes, but 12... that's pushing it.
Any connections or information on those surnames of GILBERT, GOOD, BYERS,
LHAMON of FLEENOR, would be wholeheartedly accepted with lots of thanks!
And if I figure out the Myers connections, I'll give a shout. I'll try and
go back and look in the scrapbook for some actual names. Perhaps I can fill
in photo references for some people. This album I have is from the 1930's
to about 1940.
Many thanks...

Hi! I was confused first and realized I was responding to the wrong party on
this Myers name subject. I remember a Jim Borcherding and a Mary Knox,
along with her two sisters, one of which was Johanna (can't recall the middle
one's name). I have lived in the area for 70+ years and we were either
riders on the same school bus routes or together in school, or just friends.
The George Monesmith story rings closer to home as my mother and him were
seriously dating; but religious conflictions broke up the relationship. Do
you have any knowledge of him, first, and secondly, any pictures of him? I
have an unnamed picture in my mother's collection which my older sister had
said it was George Monesmith.
Sorry for the confusion but maybe we can renew old friendships through our
common memories.
Toddie102(a)aol.com (Theresa)
I'm kinda lost,? My husbands family Borcherding are from Monroeville, lived
on Route 30, also the name Knox.
Are you looking for someone, I sent an email to some one who asked about the
Myers family, we also have a Monesmith connection.

Toddie,
I don't have any Borcherdings in my database, but that doesn't mean they
shouldn't be there! I've got lots and lots of holes left to fill. I haven't
really looked in the Monroeville area. We do have a John N. Myers in our
family tree. He was born in 1839, the son of Nathan and Leah Myers. John
married Margerett Barrett. They had four children that I know of. Margerett
and her daughter, Catherine, are buried in Dutch Ridge Cemetery in Perry
Township. I don't know where John is buried. It seems that our Myers are
scattered all over the place -- it's very possible John and Margerett lived
in the Monroeville area. I will await your response.

It seems that I should know of your husband's family. I mean the
Borcherdings. Have you researched the Myers in the Monroeville, IN area?
There was a John and Oren living in Jackson township in the early 1900's. My
mother grew up on the next farm to John Myers residence. She also dated a
George Monesmith who lived at a settlement called, Townley which was the
intersection of US Road 30 (Lincoln Highway) and SR 101. This is just 3
miles west of the Ohio line.
I know some of the offspring of these Myers lines; I will inquire about your
possible connection
