Notes:

Hi Mike, Just a note to let you know I received David Meyers pension papers. According to them he was b. Dec. 18, 1822 Stokes Co., NC. He is listed as widowed and the only child listed is Jessie. No other info of interest. More later. Polly ********************* Hi Michael, My name is Steve Shaffer and I was checking the Rootsweb site this evening and came across your information of David Meyers (Myers) and Permelia. I think we have a connection. I saw your info on David Meyers and Permelia Harmon. You stated that David was born @ 1822 Stokes Co., N.C. and that his parents were ? Meyers and ? Jackson. Well, my 3rd great grandparents were Isaac Mires (Myers) and Sarah Jackson and were married in Stokes Co., N.C. April 16, 1820. My 2nd great grandfather was William M. Myers who was born in Stokes Co. Jan. 11, 1829. I believe that David and William were brothers. I have David Myers born c. 1824 Stokes Co., N.C. & married Primilia ?. David and family can be found in Hamilton Co., Clay Twp., Indiana for the Sept. 1850 census. It reads: David Myers age 26 b. in N.C.; Primilia age 23 born in Ind.; Mary E. age 5; William K. age 3; and Rebecca Ann age 1. All children born in Indiana. Isaac and Sarah Myers are in this same census,except in Washington Township, frame 013, family 171. Isaac Myers age 50 born N.C.; Sarah age 55 born N.C.; Thomas age 18 born in N.C.; John age 16 born in N.C.; and Susannah age 13 born in Indiana. There also may be another brother to David and William by the name of Daniel. He's located in Washington Twp, hamilton Co., Indiana. It reads: Daniel age 24 born N.C.; Priscilla age 22 born in Ind.; Sarah J. age 2 born in Ind.; and John W. age 1 born in N.C. What do you think? Think there is a connection? You are the first I've seen that maybe we could be connected. I haven't found anyone with any connection to a Myers and Jackson from Stokes Co., North Carolina. Hope this helps and hope to hear from you. Take care. Steve Shaffer of Michigan. ******************************** Name: Carolyn Hoffman Email: carolyn.hoffman@gte.net URL: URL title: Note: >From Martin County Genealogical Society, Fairmont, MN 56031: Obituary, Ceylon Herald, Oct. 16, 1907, Wednesday Passed Away David Charles Myers, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wm. McMurtry, Sunday, October 13, 1907, aged 84 years 9 months and 25 days. Remains were shipped to Goldfield for burial. David Charles Myers was born in Stokes County, South [sic] Carolina, on December 18, 1822. When eleven years of age he removed with his parents to Indiana. He was married at the age of twenty-one to Miss Millie Harmon, four children being born to this union. His wife died and later he was remarried the second marriage being blest with three children. His second wife died while they were living in Hardin County, Iowa. Later he again married, his third wife being Mrs. Martha A. Brassfield. Two children were born of this union, one dieing [sic] in infancy the other being, Mrs. McMurtry, of this place. Again death left Mr. Myers without a companion, his third wife proceeding him to the great beyond by twenty years. The deceased had been an invalid, suffering from asthma, for a number of years and the end had been expected for sometime past as he was getting very feeble. Mr. Myers has made his home with his daughter Mrs. McMurtry, for the past few years and has received all the care which loving hands could render. But when his time had come he was ready to go as he realized that He who doeth all things well, was ready to welcome him to his final home. Short funeral services were held at the McMurtry home on Monday afternoon after which the remains were shipped to his old home near Goldfield, Iowa, for interment. Rev. Phillips delivered the funeral sermon at this place and was assisted by many friends in making the last journey of one who had been a man among men as fitting as he could have wished. The Herald joins the many friends of the family in extending to them heartfelt sympathy in their hour of bereavement. ------------------ Martin County Death Records Book C page 164 David Meyers White male widower DOB December 5, 1822-NC DOD October 13, 1907 84 years 10 months 5 days married at 21 # of children-9 6 living father-unknown mother-?
