I cannot see a connection but I never rule anything out. The 2 Meyers
brothers living in Decatur/Rush Counties died there and I believe I have
knowledge of their children, etc. Their father, Henry Meyer, was from
Switzerland and he died in the Civil War. I do not know his parents,
brothers, etc. so that line is very open and I wish I could make a
connection there. If you can fill anything else in from a previous
generation it would help.
Thanks for your response.

Hi Betty:
My Grandmother was Florence Myers, whose lineage goes to Charles, and
George all in Southern IA. George committed suicide in 1895 and we've
not been able to pin down the line beyond him. I did, however, find
some stuff on RootsWeb that indicated a connection to Decatur Co. IN
which is why I watch this email . . . Just in case.
Does any of your work indicate there'd be information we could share and
help each other with?
Thanks!

I recently acquired an old photo of man sitting and woman standing On
the back is Millard Hudson photographic Artist 9 1/2 Main Street
opposite Hotel De Armond Greensburg Indiana imprinted. Hand written is
Mr. J Myers Williamstown Ind 1846. Would anyone have information on this
photographer? What years it was in operation?
I am searching the John and James Meyers family who lived in
Williamstown and their father, Henry Meyer (probably Heinrich Meier) who
was from Switzerland and died in the Civil War. Henry Meyer married
Sarah Kemp, daughter of Thomas and Mary Kemp, who had land in Decatur
County. I would appreciate any information. Betty Waite Myers
