Hi Carol;
It looks like we may be related! Here is the information that I have on Jonathan Myers,
my great great great great grandfather. This information comes from a book written about
my ancestry called "South of the Cottonwood Tree", a story of the Myers lineage,
written by my great aunt Hallie Myers Nelson. Jonathan Myers was born in Virginia in
1783. He was of German descent (my ancesters called it low-dutch). He was a farmer and
raised 10 children. The family migrated to Ohio in the early 1800's where they raised
their family under the most primitive conditions.
One of Jonathan's grandchildren was Lambert Packer Myers (born 1834) in Carroll, Iowa.
He married Rebecca Rilea. I have the lineage from here to present, in the Myers'
line. I also have photos from 1854.
I'm missing the link between Jonathan Myers and Lambert Packer Myers. If you have
info on Jonathan's children, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, if you would like more info on the Myers' lineage, please let me know. Thanks
so much for sharing your family information. Hope to hear from you soon.
