You have mentioned in several of them about three brothers who came from Scotland, probably through Ireland, to the U.S. Do you happen to know the names of the three brothers and the approximate time period they came to the U.S.? Like your family, my family has a history of naming children after other family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.). My Byers family is rumored to have come from Scotland also. I have a John A. Byers, Jr., born in 1819 in Ohio, whose father is John A. Byers, Sr., supposedly from Scotland. I estimate John Sr's birth date to be about 1779. My John Sr. was in Ohio the last I know, but I have not been able to locate any death records or birth records to substantiate that he came from Scotland. Maybe some of your information will match mine. I have many Johns, Williams, Thomases, Sarahs and Nancys. Any help will be appreciated. You can e-mail me at either [email protected] or [email protected] Thanks, Joyce
