I think about the 1600's or 1500's bye the invasion of the Viking period .. as they made settlements along the lower area of Scotland from what I remember of my history... From my research in Rowan CO., N.C. I have ran into the Byer residing there about 1750's... the spelling varies also ... but I also no that there were Germans settlers in the region coming down from Pennsylvania to settle there in Rowan Co.. I gleam the name out of works of Jo Lynn White who has published many reference material for Rowan County... over the years... Jerry byers in Kansas

He was shot on 4 July 1863 and died from the wounds 18 July 1863 in a Union hospital in Memphis. We can't find where he was buried. We don't know where in SC he was born (although we have heard York Co mentioned) or who his parents were. I have tried York Co and SC in general with no feed back.

Hi Roberta ... We're kind of stuck right now. Can't go forward or backward from David BEATTIE, a shepherd, who we think would likely have been born in the mid to late 1880's ... married to Mary BYERS, possibly in Carlisle, in the between 1900 and 1906, became a widower sometime after the birth of their third of three sons (all born in Carlisle), possibly between 1911 and 1915 ... remarried circa 1915 and placed the three first sons in an orphanage, likely Quarriers at Bridge of Weir near Glasgow. We suspect, but haven't proven, that there may have been a second family. When we look at the names of middle son Thomas Leslie BEATTIE's children ... Marion Margaret, David Joseph, Gloria Hazel, Linda Mary Jane, John Robert Thomas, Timothy Trent ... we see some historial patterns of names that seem tied to BEATTIE. But, as yet, have made no discoveries that would bear this out. Your Jane and her brother Thomas are a good example. I have been contacted by some people in Ontario that have BEATTIE ancestors but we haven't established any connection yet. They may connect to you, though. Perhaps you've already been in touch with them. If not, e-mail me back and I'll look through my records for their addresses. Shane Oxley, a lister, has just this morning sent me some 1881 census information on BEATTIE/BYERS in the borders area. There are a significant number of BEATTIEs and BYERS. I haven't had time to really look at it carefully. Believe our David BEATTIE may not show up until the 1891 census ... possibly as a preschooler. Believe his father would either be Robert or James because those were the names given to his first son. If you would like Shane's material ... just e-mail me. Believe she posted it to the [email protected] list. This long response is my way of thinking out loud ... if we find a connection to your Jane/Thomas BEATTIE, will let you know. In the meantime, it's a quandary!

My g-g-grandfather, Andrew Howard Byers was born sometime btw. 1825-1832 in Chambersburg, PA. He married Laura E. Pew in Warren, Ohio in August 1865. They lived in Tiffin, Ohio for many years, had two children Ralph Waldo Byers and Clara Eugenie Byers. Andrew Howard died in 1909 in Toledo. Does anyone have any information about the family of Andrew Howard Byers? Thanks. Joyce (Byers) Doyle

Dear Listers, This may be a long shot but we're really interested in the family for whom I've extracted the information below and wonder where they were and whether there was a marriage or two and more siblings in the 1861 census. We have no information about my husband's gmother Mary BYERS BEATTIE who died in Carlisle between 1911 and possibly 1915 except that she was married to David BEATTIE, a shepherd and died shortly after bearing her third son. Could SKS who has access to the 1861 census look this family up when you have a few moments. No hurry at all. Any help very, very much appreciated. ...

Hi Listers: I am looking for information on the descendants of George Frederick Byers of PA who married Catharine Sams. George Frederick came from Germany between 1760 and 1770. He and Catherine had the following children: George b abt 1784, John b abt 1786, Henry b abt 1788, Garrett b abt 1790, Martin b abt 1792, Issac b abt 1794, Betsey b abt 1796, Mary M. b abt 1798 and Jacob b abt 1800. The child Martin is the one I am particularly interested in. He and his brother Garrett were both in Belmont Co., OH in 1830 and 1840 (according to the census). Martin did not appear on the 1850 census and I have not been able to locate anything further on him. I would like to know who he married and where he went from Belmont Co. I have run across a couple of Martins in PA in 1850, but since I don't know who he married, I am unable to determine if either of them are the right person. Can anyone out there help me?

I found this little bio in Goodspeed's 1885 "History of Pike and Dubois Counties, Indiana". Hope it helps someone. Page 387: Alexander Byers, M.D., of Petersburg, Ind., is one of a large family of children born to the marriage of Thomas and Margaret (Hamilton) Byers, who were natives of Pennsylvania, where they lived and died. Alexander was born in Washington County, Penn., June 15,1829. At the age of fifteen he entered the West Alexander Academy, and completed his course when he was twenty. He then taught school for about a year in Ohio, and also began the study of medicine. He came to Indiana in 1851, and soon after located in Clark County, where he taught school two years. He then came to Petersburg, and taught school for about seven months, and shortly after entered the office of Prof. J. R. Wilcox, M. D., of Evansville, Ind., and also attended lectures at the medical college of that city. He practiced medicine with his preceptor for about three months, when the latter died, and our subject returned to Petersburg in September, 1854. In 1861 he was commissioned first-lieutenant of Company I, Forty-second Indiana Volunteers, and served in that capacity in the war of the Rebellion for about eight months. In August , 1862, he was appointed first assistant-surgeon of the Sixty-fifth Indiana Regiment, and in 1863 was appointed surgeon of the regiment, serving until March, when he returned home and resumed his practice. In 1856 he married Mary Morgan, who died in July 1858, leaving one child, Mary V. In November, 1866, he married Mary F. Hammond. They have six children: Harry W., Anna M., Perry H., John A., Oliver A., and Ethel May. Mr. Byers is a Republican, and a member of the I. O. O. F., also of the Tri-Stae, Indiana State and Pike County Medical Societies. He and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Hello everyone. I am looking for any information on my Byers family. Dating back from the 1850s, what I have so far is - James Byers, born in Wamphray 1829, and who married Janet Bell in Kirkpatrick Fleming in 1855 and died in Westerkirk in 1879. His father, also James Byers, was born in Kirkmichael in 1802, he married Esther Rae and died in Annan in 1856. The next generation back is John Byers, who married Jane (Jean) McGill (born c.1780 in Kirkmichael). John Byers may have been born in. All these parishes mentioned are in Dumfriesshire. Can anyone help? Thanks...Neil

This is a repost. I am searching for any information regarding Green Don BYERS born in 1837 based on 1860 Greene Co., AR census. Was listed as Biers, lawyer, 23, born in SC. >From family lore and National archives we know he was in the CSA Army and died 18 Jul 1863 from wounds received at the Battle of Helena. We don't know where he is buried, where in SC he was born or who his parents were. The family story is that several brothers came to America from Scotland. As many as 11 brothers. I suspect that Green is a family name. Any help will be appreciated. Phil Di Matteo
