    1. [BYERS-L] Captain John Byers
    2. My wife's line is as follows: John Byers b abt 1730 in Germany, served in the military, died after the Revolutionary War and is buried in York Co. PA. His wife's name is unknown and he is said to have had only one son, also named John. The name was often spelled as "Boyer" or "Boyers". Captain John's son John was born 12 Sep.,1779 and married Elizabeth __? who was born 3 Sep., 1779. Both are buried at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Shepardstown WV. They had four sons, George, John (1810), Joseph and one who died young: John (1810) who married Ann Margaret Weiss (a cousin of Helen Keller); Sarah married Currie; James married Miller; Martin married Wachtel; Charles (1843) married Stonestreet; George married --?; Ezra married --?. Charles Clinton, a War veteran, and Lucy Stonestreet had two sons, one died early and Charles Clinton Jr who married Stipp. Charles Clinton Jr had two daughters; Lucy married Keehn and had four children and Charlise married Hopkins. We have three daughters. The family lived in York Co. PA, then Shepherdstown and next Hagerstown MD. After the War between the States, some of the brothers went to Kansas City MO. Any help on this small elusive family appreciated. BobHop
