No one has ever taken this line out of Tennessee. Additionally, there is a Byers line in early Tennessee when the state was considered North Carolina but I have not seen any work on that line yet. We may or maynot be related to this family. I can tell you that Byers is a Cherokee name early on in the history of the Cherokee people. Again, good luck with your search.

She visits by private appointment only. She is quite up in age. I would not delay in making a trip if possible. One never knows. You may look her phone number up on the web. She lives in Cookville, Tennessee. She doesn't write letters. She has many family histories in her private library. Good luck with your search. Lori

She also lived in Melkinthorpe. I know that she married Thomas Carrick in 1840. Her children were Joseph, Thomas, Mary, Eve, William, John, Adam, Hannah and Byers. Does anyone have anymore details, or could perhaps provide me with information about her parents and siblings?

I am a descendent of Malinda Byers. I have been told that Moses Byers looked indian. The county historian (whom is also my cousin) says she has seen a photo of Moses and that he looked native american. Several of his children married persons of native american descent from several different southern tribes. Canzady died before Jerome as far as I can tell by the probate record. I would look at the death records of her oldest siblings to see if you can find out her maiden name. I see no marriage record for this couple in Tennessee. Since the courthouse burned twice I am not surprised. Rumor from middle Tennessee is that Canzada Stanton was the wife of Jerome. That is all I know at the moment. One more thing, there are 3 burial grounds in Tennessee with our family members. Putnam County, Jackson County and Overton County. I only have information about Putnam. I will have to look into the other two the next time I go to Tennessee. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I am of opinion that all or nearly all of the Brooks East Hundred acres of the Adcock entry was disposed of by A. N. Byers in his lifetime. I do not think there is any encumbrance on any of the lands. He was one of the most particular men about paying his debts of any man in the country.

Dear Lewis and family, In answer to yours of recent date, I enclose settlement of the Byers land matter, with B. A. Butler made today. I called on him last Monday and he put me off till Thursday. I got Bill Draper to assist and he writes as though he did it all. Of course I care not for that. I got the $12.00 note on Jim Wolf and statement against Dr. Gillackham. Have nothing with that business and started it a little. Mr. Anderson says you want him to take your cow at whatever she is worth. I saw Al Tate yesterday and told him to give her up to Mr. Anderson. So I guess he will get her soon. The Circuit Court passed off guilty--indicted J. U. Carter for murder in the first degree and then Judge Smith heard the testimony and permitted Carter to give bail in the sum of $10,000.00 Boone Hesland, J. M. G. York and Monroe German were indicted for murder in 1st degree and they are all in jail. Carter made his in ten minutes or less time. Also a $2000.00 peace bond. I saw Bansen about your ten dollar fee in the Tilly claim in the Murray case and he said he could not pay out anything on any debt in that case--caw--that costs and lawyers fees covered everything that had been paid in. I receipted Bowen corn for the $51.73 for you. He issued check to me and I then endorsed it to him. J. T. Anderson drew $150.00 of this cost in your name near one year ago as your atty. I supposed you give an order for it. Those Bees contracted to Carter and Harvey not extracted are about the only hives in the lower yard that are heavy. I have not examined those at Wash Hampton's. I know they can not do as well as if they had your attention. I hope I will be able to hold our unsettled business straight for a time longer without your presence. Many friends express a desire to see you and want to know when you are coming. The news came by telephone of a very destructive fire in Sparta yesterday. The wind was so strong and every combustible so dry that many parties lost their house furniture and goods after they were carried out of the houses. We have a cold spell on now. A good boat tide in the river. Some logs on the way to market. I paid receipt from B. A. Butler as you requested. No more tonight. Love to all, especially to Marnea [?] and Mildred. Your affectionate uncle, J. M. Morgan THE BILL OF COMPLAINT of Dio Pippin and his wife Helen Pippin, who are citizens of Jackson Co. TN against Brantley Byres, Admr., et. al. 31 Dec. 1902. . . Helen Pippin is a child of Jerome Byres, a deceased son of the said A. N. Byres, deceased, who has intermarried with the complainant Dio Pippin. . . They complain that the Administrator has so far failed to pay them their share of the estate. -bp.

Moses was Jerome's father. I am assuming you are related to Moses too? I think Moses was a bastard child. So far as the indian goes my grandfather (Emily's son) always said that the Byers were indian (cherokee descent). My grandfather was Radford C Stewart (he changed the spelling to t instead of d on Stewart). Do you know anything about Jerome's wife? Her name is Canzady. Also I am trying to find out the ethnic background of the Byers to see if it relates back to a serious health problem that I have. I am told by the doctors that my health problem could be based on ethnic background and this mysterious illness that I have could have skipped two generations. Thanks --- Liz

We recently were able to prove a common ancestor my brother and a third cousin twice removed. The common ancestor is their fourth great-grandfather. The families are listed in the American Boyers book, 7th Edition, Volume III, 1992. The chapter is 27 and family code BA. This chapter os from page 108 thru 413. Anyone having family in this chapter an who are interested in proving their connection to this family, please contact me.

Surnames: Boyer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YSF.2ACEB/1321.1.2.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Are you aware of the Association of American Boyers and the series of books it has published called "American Boyers"? Its website is www.americanboyers.org. It's been a while since I used these books, but as I recall, the first one takes about 8 or so Boyer family lines beginning with the first Boyer in the line to emigrate to America and traces each line down to the time the book was published (1915). There was a major supplement (or revision, not sure which) in 1940, and there have been a lot more supplements since then. Really quite an impressive body of work. These books are somewhat daunting to use, especially the first one, but they are a wealth of information for any Boyer family history research. If you are part of one of those Boyer families, a lot of your work has already been done. The Association and these books have been mentioned a number of times on this board, so maybe someone will do a look-up for you. (I don't own any of them, unfortunately.) At least some have been put onto CDs, but I would recommend you find the actual books if you can, at least the 1915 or 1940 ones, as a starting point. I believe the Association sells the books and they can probably be found at antiquarian books stores or on eBay, but they are a little expensive, especially if your family is not in them. I don't know where you live, but the books are available at some large city libraries and genealogical libraries. I am descended from one of the Boyer families in the books, but not yours. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to discuss more or if you think I can help you. Rich Cunningham richcunninghamny@aol.com ______________________________

Her Father was Benjamin David Byers, b 1894, in Indian Territory, and died in the Sapulpa/Tulsa, OK area. In 1920, he was living in the Kellyville, Creek County, OK area. His Father was Adam David Byers, b 1870. I think Adam David was born in AR. His Father was King David Byers, b 1842, possibly in TN or GA. I'm not sure, but I think at some point (1870), some of these Byers lived in the Van Buren, AR, area. I don't have much information on my Mother's side of the family.
