James married 2) Margaret Sadler and they resided in Bromley Twp, Renfrew County. James and Jane had 3, possibly 4 children: Rachel, Eliza and William. Robert was the 4th child of James - uncertain as to which wife he was born to. I am a descendant of Eliza Byers (1837-1909). James had a brother William Byers (1810-1885), who was a large scale lumberman but he was a bachelor until late in life when he married Mary Porter in 1857. They did not have any children that I am aware of, and none were mentioned in his obituary. Were your husbands great grandparents Robert Byers and Jane Anderson (1828-1912)? If so, do you have a birthdate for this Robert?
