Hi Rosalene, Here's what (little) I could find on Myers. And I tried to make sure to check all the other spellings too. As we all know, census takers didn't always spell names correctly. 1860 Census - Elm Twp. Jacob Myers, age 42 was a day laborer. Born in TN. He was living with Peter, Rachel, John, Peter and Eliza Minick. (And was Rachel a Pickering??) I couldn't find anything in 1870 and 1880. 1900 Census - Richland Twp. MEYER - Sophis 1845 54 Anna O 1854 46 Henry C 1873 26 Sophia C 1875 24 Agnes C 1883 16 Frannie C 1888 12 Frances C 1864` 35 It doesn't sound like anything you were looking for. If you think something in the 1900 census could be connected to your missing family, let me know and I can give you the rest of what the census says. But it showed them being born in Denmark, Germany, IA and MO.
