This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UFH.2ACEB/680 Message Board Post: I didn't know how to reach you so I added a response to my original posting about Samuel Byers & Elizabeth (Ramsey) Byers. Samuel & Elizabeth had 9 children, 6 of whom were born in Va. now West Va. and the rest in Pulaski township of what is now Lawrence County. The one I need help with is William born in 1790 in West Va. There was a Samuel Jr., which causes the confusion. Samuel Jr. married Mary Gundy. The father of Samuel was William, also born in 1811. The father of William was John who died in 1799. I don't know the birth date. I need verification that my William born in 1790 was the William born to Samuel & Elizabeth. Some places show the birth date as 1789, that is why a hesitate to say this is my William I put some additional dates in the response on the original posting. Marta [email protected]
