However he could never find the parents of Conrad Boyers. Of interest is a Joseph Boyers who moved to KY after the Rev War. He named his nephew John in his will. This Joseph may be the one earlier associated with a John Boyers in York Co PA who was an only son of a John Boyers who was a Rev War soldier?

Hi Bob: That is really interesting. Do you know what chapter in the American Boyers contains this John Boyers from York Co, PA? I don't see how a Joseph Boyers who moved to KY could be the father of Conrad since he stayed in Mecklenburg and Shepherdstown, VA. Or are you saying this is a connection for your John Byers? But you also have him staying in West Virginia in Shepherdstown. Name: John BYERS Birth: 12 SEP 1779 in Shepherdstown, Berkeley Co, VA Death: 18 JUN 1854 in Shepherdstown, Jefferson Co, VA Could you send Joseph Boyers will in KY which names his nephew John? Do you have the Rev. War pension application for this John Boyers? Was he from York Co, PA? We have a John Boyer/Byers that was in York Co. that is in our Boyer DNA test group.
