Tom:
One of my cousins, Franklin Ruddick, b. 4-28-1850, son of Solomon,
married Anne E. Myers of Jennings Co. on 3-24-1898. This was his second
marriage. He was previously married to Laura L. Newhardt for 21 years
and they re-established the New Driftwood Church near Jaketown. She
died shortly thereafter and he married Myers.
He died on November 17, 1919. There might be something additional in
one of the early Jackson County newspapers.
I have no additional information .

"My greatgrandparents were:
Jacob L. Myers born abt 1852 in unknown. He married Mildred W. Ross in 1871 Jackson
County. Mildred was the daughter of Moses Ross and Sarah Ann Olmsted. Both are buried in
Bedel Cemetery.
My grandparents were:
John E. Myers born Sept 21, 1873 Jennings County. He married Ida Esther Killey, daughter
of Jonathan Killey and Sarah Brown. Bothe are buried in Crothersville Cemetery.
I can find nothing on Jacob prior to 1871 when he married Mildred. I have searched years
to find a connection out there of a relative.
Please contact me if you have any Myers in this area.
Thank you very much.
Tom Myers"
