I need help on learning where my g-g-grandfather came from. I have learned the following
from his obituary from Williams County, OH.
Amos Myers, born 5 Aug 1820 <?> and abt. 1836 his family moved to DeKalb Indiana.
Two years (1838) later he moved to Ohio to live with his Uncle George (Williams County).
Married Anna (Luke) Donut in 1852. Died in Ohio 1908.
Trying to decide if Jacob Myers who moved to DeKalb 1837 with his wife (Susannah Donut)
and died in DeKalb County Nov 1881 could be Amos' father. History tells us that Jacob
and Susannah moved to Crawford County, OH in 1828 and to Indiana Sept 1837. I so want to
believe that Jacob is Amos' father!! Can anyone in DeKalb.. or anywhere help me to
make the 'connection'? Are there any obituraries from DeKalb County that might
mention a sibling?
How about Jacob's death in 1881, any obits during that period??
