I, too, have been researching the Meyers families of Ripley and Dearborn
counties, Indiana for many years. I visited the area last year and spent
several days walking through cemeteries and poring over records. I have
concluded there were at least two different Meyers family lines living in
the area. I am a descendant of Fred Henry Meyers and Mary Bohlke. They
both emigrated from Germany in about 1852. Other family lines connected to
my ancestors were Blaisdells, Beckenholdts and Chases.

Subject: [INRIPLEY] Meyers of Ripley Co., IN
Dear ........, I have been researching Myers of Ripley Co., IN. for a
long
time now. Notice the different spelling. But in the early days of
America
the spelling had many variations while learning english & etc.
Can you give the "time-frame" of your early Meyers/Myers? And the
approximate location or town they were near? There were two different
families,
however, that migrated to Ripley Co. as far as I can determine. I
might be able
to give you some of the information I have in my files if you can
answer
the
above questions.
Do you have any other surnames in that period? Mine married there
between
1852 & 1875 to Cowan & Slater & Ewing, and some others,
which I will
send
later if we connect.
