According to my records, William Riley Beyers, who was married 3 times (Joanna Pedigo,
Nicea Ann Breedon and Jennie May Chestnut) was the son of John Beyers/Byers
(1860,70,90,1900,1910 list spelling as Byers, as does cemetery booklet- there was mixed
spelling in children of Jacob) born 6/16/1836 in Salem, Columbiana Co, OH; died 10/17/1920
in Lawrence Co, IN and his first wife, Elizabeth McDowell, born 10/23/1835 in Popcorn,
Lawrence Co, IN; died 4/22/1888 in Lawrence Co, IN. They were married on 9/21/1857 in
Lawrence Co and had 7 children. John's second wife was Sarah E. 'Sadie'
Wininger, born 1/1862 in IN and died 2/1946 in IN; married circa 1889. John's parents
were Jacob Beyers, born 12/27/1797 in Hanover, York Co, PA; died 10/106/1877 in
Springville, Lawrence Co, IN, and Sarah Young, born 10/20/1803 in Fallowfield Twp,
Washington Co, PA; died 5/2/1857 in Perry Twp, Lawrence Co, IN. They were married on
10/5/1820 in Washington Co, PA. They are my 3rd-great grandpare!
nts - I am related through John's older brother, Jonas Beyers.
I don't have the W. as middle name for John, and my birth/death dates are different
than yours. John Byers, son of Jacob, is listed as being buried in Rainbolt/Beyers
Cemetery in Lawrence Co, IN. Looking through my datafile, I don't have any J. or W.
Beyers or Byers listed with your birthday, so perhaps another person from a different
line?
