Byers who appears in the 1880 census in Monroe Co., Iowa, Mantua Twp. age 46 wife Rebeca J. age 41 and their children. In the 1850 census I find Ebenezer Byers, age 15, son of John Byers in PA, Mercer Co., Shenango Twp. AND Ebenezer W. Byers age 14, son of Samuel in Iowa, Louisa Co., Wapello Twp. Both of these Ebenezers were born in PA. Does anyone know which one moved on to Monroe Co., Iowa? Thanks, Nancy Smith
