I just found on Family Search that some one discovered that Michael, son of Michael, was really Charles Michael. The only problem was that they used the birth date of Thomas. About forty years ago, I was given that Paul Byerly was born in Louisville, Kentucky. This led to another Paul Byerly, so I gave up. Back then I did not have a computer, so that led to a lot of LDS library time. I was able to go from Martha Hodgman (1859)/ Andrew Hodgman (1830) / Jane Mitchell (1836)/ David Mitchell (1796) / Isaac Mitchell of the American Revolutionary War. Of Isaac's ten children I have come across five people researching David's siblings. It looks as if you had the hard Byerly to research. Thanks to your information, I have Edgar Byerley born about 1 Dec 1900, and died in Aug 1976. He married Dorothy Julius about 1927. In 1949 they lived in New Albany and Jeffersonville. And Alice born about 1905. To Paul and then to an orphanage. I found a couple of other Alice Byerlys, but they have no connection that I know of. I found a Virginia Byerly who married a David Ellis Godwin. There was no birth date. Her parents were Thomas Byerly and Mary Brock. Could this be your Thomas? I make lots of mistakes; so don't hesitate to correct me. If you look at "Michael Byerley of Bradford" (Re: Michael Byerley of Bradford kdsprunger 28 Aug 2009 11:47AM) you will see the lineage from Michael Byerly (1815)/Paul Byerly (1854)/Mattie (Martha) Hodgman (1859)/Maybelle Byerly (1887)/Maybelle Dimke (1887)/ to Carolyn Dimke. Carolyn Dimke is my wife's mother. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
