Belatedly in my life I am searching for information about my father's forbears and siblings, if any. From a small scrap of paper I have with pencilled notes I believe he was born John Cleveland Meyers in Scott County in Mar. 1886. The semi-literate author of the note wrote "there was no vatal stadistics kept in said county at that period his mother died when he was to month old and father died when eleven years old does not know of any church or family Reckerd of Birth Justis Roper" (typed as written) Justice Roper identified the location as "Catt County, VA" several times. I believe he meant Scott County because he also makes reference to Gate City in another part of the note in connection with "Magie Davis (Harris?). He also gives the names of Sanuel Meyers, John Frederick Meyers and Mary Elizabeth Meyers, with no clue as to who they were. My father died in Feb 1935 when I was 10, leaving me an orphan. I'm hoping to find whatever information exists about a family named Meyers (or Meyer, Myer(s), Mayer(s) or Meier(s) in Scott Co. in the 1800's. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks! John Meyers
