Could you tell us which state Earl M. Byers lived in. there is mention where the man and his wife were born, but no state is mentioned to tell us where he lived when this piece was written. I know there is a macomb Co. in MI. and there is a Warren MI. The trouble is people took all the names from one state to another. Roberta. MI.

Viewing the world from the shelter of his fine and self-earned farm in Walnut Grove Township, McDonough County, Earl M. Byers may well congratulate himself that his lines have fallen in pleasant and profitable places, and that his occupation is one for which nature and inclination have admirably fitted him. A native son of Illinois and born in Hancock County, November 3, 1861, he is the oldest of the three sons and one daughter of WILLIAM AND EMILY (TUCKER) BYERS, the former born in Pennsylvania, and the latter in Illinois. William Byers moved with his family from Hancock to McDonough County in 1874, and there conducted general farming until his retirement from active life to his present home in Macomb in 1891. His children all are living, but he has been a widower since the death of his wife, April 10, 1905. With such aids to back him as a common school education and thorough agricultural training under his father, Earl M. Byers embarked upon a self-supporting life on a farm east of Raritan, Henderson County, this state, where he remained three years. In the spring of 1887 he purchased 161 acres of land in section 17, Walnut Grove Township, which land he has greatly improved, adding, besides a variety of modern implements, a residence constructed in 1902, and a barn of more recent date, costing $2,000. Besides raising grain and other products which thrive in the central west, he is an extensive breeder of Shorthorn cattle, and in addition to the facilities required for successfully conducting his business, has surrounded himself and wife with the comforts and even luxuries of existence. His home is unexcelled for architectural and general appropriateness in the township, and his standing as a farmer and citizen is an enviable one. On September 10, 1885, Mr. Byers was united in marriage to BESSIE DEAN, a native of Illinois and the seventh in order of birth of the six daughters and two sons of MICHAEL AND SUSAN (CUMMINGS) DEAN. Mr. Dean was born in Bath County, KY, and his wife is a native of the vicinity of Greenoch, Scotland. The latter came to America with her parents when five years old, and was married in Fulton County, Ill., to Michael Dean on March 10, 1842. In 1856 the family moved to their present home in Warren County, where was solemnized the marriage of their daughter, Bessie and Mr. Byers. In politics, Mr. Byers is a Democrat. A broad minded and intelligent farmer, a promoter of education and morality, he is a capable exponent of the highest tenets of agricultural science.

I would like to be droped from the Byers list please. Emma jean Smith

I am looking for information about the family of George BYERS of Scotland. He had 3 children about whom I have information - Frances (Fanny) (b1812 Dumfriesshire Scotland), John (b 12 August 1816 Dumfriesshire Scotland) and Christian b 1817 Dumfriesshire Scotland). there may have been more children, but these 3 emigrated to South Australia, where Fanny married George Johnston, John (emigrated 1839)married (not sure whether that was before or after emigrating) Margaret Carruthers; and Christian (emigrated 1850) married John Hutton, and later William Balls.

Looking for info regarding William Byers Sr., born march 1844 in Glasgow, married Margaret Jean WILSON (1850-1915). William and Margaret Jean settled in Lonaconing, MD. raising a large family. Some of their descendants ended up in Michigan, Texas, New Mexico. I am particularly interested siblings of William, as well as he parents. His parents are Walter Byers and Jane GORDON. Best guess is that they were born between 1809-1824.

This is a very late reply however, Im interested in what you have on the Byers please email it to me. thansk [email protected] wrote: > Subject: > > BYERS-D Digest Volume 99 : Issue 56 > > Today's Topics: > #1 Re: [BYERS] Byers Family In Indian ["dcgld" <[email protected]>] > #2 Re: [BYERS] Byers/Biers/Byars from [Carol A Byers <[email protected]] > #3 [BYERS] Albany, Il Roots [Carol A Byers <[email protected]] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from BYERS-D, send a message to > > [email protected] > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.
