I have this lineage Marilyn! It's lying around here somewhere. Christian MEYER, son of Christian, son of Christian. Seen in PA as MEYER and VA as MOYER and MIER. The MAYER of Ulm, Germany had the same but there's another line of MYERS with this too. Switzerland? I'll keep an eye out for them. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER > Chrystie, > Would you mind keeping your eye out for Christian Myers, b. 1771 in York Co. > PA?

Chrystie, Would you mind keeping your eye out for Christian Myers, b. 1771 in York Co. PA? He ended up moving to Rockingham, VA, where he died. His father was Christian Kauffman Myers, b. 1751 in York Co. PA. Christian K. Myers' father was also named Christian, and he died in 1779 in York Co. Thanks!

MOYERS, Ok.... here's what I (90 percent) believe regarding my own lineage (10 percent still hopeful). I'm an orphan.... well, my ggg was. This is total speculation, but after talking with two historians, 2 DAR genealogist from the Sevier/Blount/Jefferson Counties of TN area; several area librarians and local hist. society members, as well as several older kin that grew-up in the region of Jefferson, Sevier, Blount Counties of TN in areas such as Cades Cove, Morristown, Elkmont, Piedmont, Wears Valley, Little Cove, White Pine, Dandrige and Maryville, it is now fair to "assume" that my ggg James Napoleon MYERS was an infant/orphan, given to Suzannah "Susan MYERS" MOYERS at birth ca1839/1840 from Maryville, after being taken or brought from Cades Cove which lies west of Sevier County, Tn in Blount. I've been doing alot of research between TN Annals, inter-connected families of these areas to historical Indian/Wagon trails and migration patters (only 2 -3 major ones) and there were but 2 then 3 roads opened in 1838/1839 for east TN/ Cades Cove dwellers to and fro Maryville - the same time that Cades Cove was filled with Militia camps - hundreds of men from all over the country; pre-settlement days. Once they were no longer needed to keep the Indians inline, sadly, and after the Indians were driven back to the south opening the territory to pioneers (even though land was deeded out for Cades and Wears Cove areas as far back as the 1700's), no one could "technically" move there and lay claim because the area did belong to the Indians, or so they were all led to believe. By 1830-1840 "MYERS" started to appear in the area (this is from all of my research combined in the last 2 years - heavy concentration on my own behalf); I believe (speculating and starting to hate that very word) that my James Napoleon MYERS, born Apr 1839 was given up at birth by a lady who was without a father - possibly one of the military men - she's pregnant and he goes back to... oh, say, VA, OH or PA. Suzannah MOYERS, later seen in census records of 1840 and 1850 as Susan MYERS was the sister of Dr. Christopher MOYERS; both children of James David MOYERS/MYERS and Mary Polly BLACKBURN; and all of you know that these were very religious, prominent families for their era. Suzannah, being a bit of a spinster, respectfully, after Enoch WILLOUGHBY was run out of town for that horrible infamous sermon he gave at the First Presby. Church in Dandridge, Jefferson Co., TN opened her home to "James". She obviously was a lady of wealth since she had a household of slave living with her and next to her property, according to census records that I've seen. I always questioned her age everytime I stared at the census. She would have been 40ish at the time of his birth. Didn't seem plausbile for the time and the "type" of family she was raised in. Also, Susan drops off the face of the earth, literally, after 1850 and this is when a Jefferson Co., TN historian explains to me this past x-mas that Suzannah MOYERS/MYERS late in life left for California with the youngest son of James Napoleon MYERS and his wife Margaret Caroline LINDSEY, "James Earl "Early" MYERS" and his wife "Rebecca Tennessee HEADRICK", both born in Blount and Sevier Co., TN. She tells me to look in Fresno. I'll never know who James' mother was, nor his father at this point. All that I have spoke with are in total agreement with me, since everyone connected to him is extremly well documented, why there a total dead-end with James. And I realized that I have one brickwall on my maternal side too. It's when there is no father; or no mention/recorded documents of a father that a child's lineage ceases to exist - especially if a family never speaks nor writes of it. An error... possibly, an embarrasement... probably. Maybe they didn't want to cause any more saddness or humiliatation for the abandonded "mother". Some things we all wish to just forget and never speak of again hence the record blockade that one hits when researching their ancestors - keep this in mind for your own research and sanity. Funny part is, as I sit here feeling a bit beat from my buyers credit dropping on me - mad at my agent for swearing that everything looked great on her laon, as well as realizing I'll probably never know where J. N. MYERS true bloodline lies... (the only thing I've lived for finding since George's departure) but I had a hysterical thought! There are so many MYERS MOYER(S) MIER(S) MAYER(S) you name it... out here. That I'd probably find out he was a MOYERS/MYERS or even a MEYER any old way. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER

Hi Chrystie. I hope all goes well. It would be wonderful if you could come to Texas! Wallace is coming the 20th of April, to Helen's home. I plan to go to meet them probably the 21st, or 22nd. Lone Wolf may go too. Can you make it at that time? It would be so wonderful. We could establish a 'Union' so in future we can have a reunion.

Marilyn, I'm certain, from other writings I have here that these MYERS left PA and went westerly traveling through what is now WV - straight over into OH (back then WV was VA and OH); from there they either stayed, went back into VA/WV; or migrated southerly through KY and into either TN or IL. It's a defineate migration pattern. They all used the same wagonroads. Rememeber that back in those days they only had one major path. I'm learning myself that let's say..... you're Jacob MYERS very well could have left a document trail from Pa to IL easily. Toll Roads; babies born along the way; etc... no wonder it's so hard to lay claim that one is the same as the other. Also, think of this. When in PA, where there were strong staunch Mennonites - hard German dialect - the surname might have been pronounced and written as MEYER MOYERS. As they traveled through a different area of immigrants / dialect of old VA, now WV record takers spelled it the way they felt it should be written such as MIER(S) MAHER(S) etc... by the time they hit OH KY IL and TN their surname either changed into the Scotch-Irish way of MEYERS MYERS MYRES and maybe some of our own ancestors just said.. oh crap, let's keep it at MOYERS. And it is written in their own words that alot of them decided to get rid of the "O" to sound less german becoming MYERS.

Hi Chrystie, In the book that you are transcribing, have you noticed any Myers going from Virginia on into Indiana? My Myers were in Rockingham County, (Christian and Barbara Richards Myers) then, they ended up in Indiana. I am pretty sure that they must have lived in Ohio at least for a while, but I really don't have any proof. I'm just thinking that with the way travel was at that time, they probably at least went through Ohio and lived there for some period of time. Anyway, I was curious to know if you had read anything about that line of travel.

Hi Chrystie, Mine were from Germany (as you know), VA, TN, TX. In VA, they were in Orange Co, maybe others too. In TN, they were in White Pine, in Jefferson Co, Culpepper Co, Cumberland Co, Bledsoe Co, Dandridge Co, Spencer Co, Van Buren Co, Grainger Co, Sevier Co. In TX they were in Cherokee Co, Jefferson Co, Jones Co, Stonewall Co and in Galveston. I am sure I don't have all the places they may have been.

Chicago, J. H. Beers & Co., 1909. p 1274-75 Surnames mentioned: Bliem, Brumbach, Deysher, Eshbach, Gerhard, Henrich, Hess, Kramer, Minner, Moyer, Muthart, Nester, Oberholtzer, Reitenauer, Yoder. Note: Surnames of related families have been capitalized, but are lower case in the original. MOYER. On April 27, 1790, (I) Martin MOYER (also spelled MYER) made his last will and testament, and he died the following year. His will is recorded in Will Book A, p. 212, and his wife Magdalena, and his brother George, were the executors. The only children mentioned in the will were George, Jacob and Conrad, of whom George was the eldest, and Jacob second. It is certain that there were several other children. The name appears in the early tax lists. In 1800 in Colebrookdale township were the following: John, $1.68; Conrad, $1.24; John, $.19; Samuel, $.12; and Jacob (estate), $.6. In 1805: John, $7.12; Conrad, $2.39; and Isaac, $.82. In 1809: John, $5.43; Conrad, $1.82; Isaac, $.59; and Martin, $.21. In 1805 two Moyers paid taxes in Earl township: John, $1.43; and Abraham, $.25; and in that same township in 1809 Henry MOYER paid $1.75. In April, 1829, Abraham MOYER made his will, and died the following October in Hereford township, leaving his wife Anna and children as follows: John, Abraham, Francis, Catharine (GERHARD), Esther (born 1784, died 1880, m. Daniel NESTER) and Nancy (m. Jacob NESTER). Casper MOYER (also spelled MEYER) was a taxable in Hereford township in 1758, and again in 1759, in the latter year paying 14 pounds. He is thought to have been the ancestor of many of the name in the southeastern part of the county. Among his sons were: Jacob, in 1744, an innkeeper in Colebrookdale township, and the father of a son, Jacob; George; and Martin. Tradition says that the Berks county Moyers spring from a common ancestor. (II) Conrad MOYER, son of Martin and Magdalena, in 1791 lived on his father's farm in Colebrookdale township, as is indicated by his father's will. His name appears in the above lists as a taxable of that township. (III) Joseph MOYER, son of Conrad, was born in 1791, and he lived in Colebrookdale township, 1-1/2 miles northwest of Bechtelsville, where he followed his trade of harness making, and also engaged in farming. He died in 1861, and is buried at Hill Church, to which he and his family belonged. He married Elizabeth REITENAUER, who was born at the store at Hill Church. Their children were: Charles; and Daniel, who lived in Hanover township, Montgomery Co., Pa., and had children--David, Elizabeth, Mary, William and Amandus. (IV) Charles MOYER, son of Joseph and Elizabeth, was born in Colebrookdale township on the old Moyer homestead, in 1825, and he died in the spring of 1907. He was a farmer during his active days, but the last 30 years of his life he lived retired at Bechtelsville. He owned the old homestead of 90 acres in Colebrookdale township, and this is now owned by his son, Tobias H. His ballot was cast in support of the Democratic party, and for some years he served as school director. He and his family were members of Hill Church until Bechtelsville church was built. Of the latter he was one of the organizers and a liberal contributor. He helped to organize the Hill Church Cemetery Company, and at the time of his death was one of its trustees. He was well and favorably known throughout his district. He married Anna HENRICH, daughter of Jacob and Anna (MUTHART) HENRICH. She died in December, 1906, in her 78th year. To Charles and Anna (HENRICH) MOYER were born the following children: Ephraim, of New Berlinville, Pa.; Joseph H., of Bechtelsville; Elizabeth (m.

GAY, Jr. Some of the most extensive opera-tions in the Logan County field are conducted by the Gay Coal & Coke Company, whose headquarters are known as Mount Gay, near Logan. The active manager of this industry for several years has been Harry S. Gay, Jr., himself a mining engineer with a successful experience in all the technical phases of coal mining here and elsewhere. The company is in an important degree a result of the cumulative efforts and enterprise of three generations of this family. The founder of the family in America was Samuel Gay, grandfather of Henry S. Gay. He was born in England, and from an early age worked in the coal fields of his native country. Coming to America, he became a miner in the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania. In the early days of the coal development in Southern West Virginia he was attracted to this field with William McQuail. For a time they conducted operations under the name of the Turkey Gay Coal Company in the Pocahontas District. Samuel Gay, served as mine inspector of the Eighth Anthracite District for fifteen years, holding this position until the time of his death. Finally he returned to Pennsylvania. He possessed the physical strength of an English coal miner, was a man of resolute will, had little education himself, and his greatest ambition apparently was to train his own children by the best advantages obtainable so that they might be in a position to continue his line of work but on a higher plane, though his own success was by no means negligible. He, therefore, sent his sons through the best technical schools. H. S. Gay, Sr., a son of the pioneer and one of the founders of the Gay Coal and Coke Company in Logan County, was born at Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania. He finished his higher education and technical training in Lafayette College, and as a mining engineer he has handled some of the most complicated technical problems in his profession. Most of his professional work was done in the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania. For a time he was general manager for J. Landon & Company of Elmira, New York, and also general manager of the Thomas A. Edison Iron Ore Mines in New Jersey. He was coasulting engineer for several mining corporations at Shamokin, Pennsylvania. He paid his first visit to the coal fields in Logan County in 1903 as an engineer to report on coal lands for some Shamokin people. While here he located the Monitor-Yuma Land lease and incidentally acquired for himself a lease of eight hundred acres, land on which the mines of the Gay Coal and Coke Company are situated. H. S. Gay, Sr., deserves the record of history as one of the pioneers in the development of this district. He shipped the first car load of coal from the district on Thanksgiving day, 1904. This coal was hauled in wagons from the mine to Logan and there loaded on a car and sent out over the recently completed railroad into the valley. The mine of the Gay Coal and Coke Company is the only one in this field of any consequence that has remained under the same management from its opening, a period of eighteen years. In 1921 the company shipped two million tons of coal from their operations. Another feature of the record for that year is that not a single man was killed in the operations. This company has maintained a splendid record in the handling and treatment of their employees, and this has contributed in no small measure to the success and continued prosperity of the company. In the early years they gave preference to local men in their mines, until the period of the war made it necessary to bring in miners from other fields. H. S. Gay, Sr., while still vice president and general manager of the Gay Coal & Coke Company, has spent little time at the mines since 1912. He is now virtually retired and lives at Baltimore. When he made his first trip to the Logan field there was no railroad, and he left the train at Dingess on the Norfolk and Western, and the rest of the journey of about thirty miles he made by horseback over the mountains. As an operator and as a mining engineer H. S. Gay, Sr., has been associated with operations in every field in West Virginia, including the New River, Pocahontas, Paint Creek and Cabin Creek districts. There is nothing in the mining industry with which he has not come in contact by practical experience. The first work he ever did around the mine was running a pump in the anthracite field of Pennsylvania. At one time he had charge of the deepest mine in the United States, located at Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and owned by the Nielson Colliery Company. This mine was 2,000 feet deep. H. S. Gay, Sr., married Lallia J. Batdorf, a native of Tremont, Pennsylvania. Their family consisted of two sons and two daughters. The other son, Leslie N., is a physician at Baltimore, and was a first lieutenant in the Medical Corps during the World war. Harry S. Gay, Jr, who is the active representative of the third generation in this notable family of miners and mine operators in America, was born at Lykens, Pennsylvania, April 7, 1889. He was of age for active military duty during the great war, and it was his sin-cerest desire to get overseas with the troops, but the authorities would not permit him to leave his essential duties in the mining field. Mr. Gay is a graduate of the Shamokin High School with the class of 1906. That school, located in a great industrial district, offered unsurpassed facilities for technical training and gave him the foundation of his technical training as an engineer. From high school he entered Lehigh University without examination, and graduated in 1910 with the degree of Mining Engineer. For six months following his graduation he was employed by the Tremont Water and Gas Company, of which his father was president. He was then a constructing engineer with the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad at Frackville, Pennsylvania, and left that to come to Logan as mining engineer for the widely known firm of Pittsburgh engineers, W. G. Wilkins & Company. Six months later, in June, 1912, Mr. Gay became assistant to his father in the Gay Coal and Coke Company operations. Since 1914 he has been general superintendent of the plant, and was the responsible executive in charge throughout the period of the World war. As a mining engineer he has been identified with other important work in these mining fields. He assisted in building the Rum Creek Branch Railroad, assisted in laying out the Logan Mining Company's operations, the Amherst Mines at Amherstdale, the McGregor Coal Company's operations at Shlagel, West Virginia, also Monitor No. 3 Mine, and he surveyed all the mines on English Run, and other mines on Buffalo Creek. When Mr. Gay came to the Logan field in 1912 there were forty-two mines in operation, and at the present time there are one hundred and thirty-five. Mr. Gay, who is unmarried, is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge and Chapter at Logan, the Elks and his College fraternity is the Sigma Nu. He is an active member of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. Chrystie MYERS List Administrator

While he owns a large farm and directs its diversified activities, Ingrim Myers, of Pine Grove, has been actively identified with some phase of the oil industry since early youth. He has helped build hundreds of miles of pipe line, both in West Virginia and in the Far West. Mr. Myers is one of the most successful men of Wetzel County, and enjoys particularly high esteem at Pine Grove. He was born near Centerville in Tyler County, West Vir- ginia, October 1, 1872. His grandfather, Enoch Myers, was born in Maryland in 1797, and spent the greater part of his life as a farmer at Moscow Mills, near Cumberland, that state. Though in advanced years he joined the Union Army at the time of the Civil war. When he retired from his farm he removed to Pleasants County, West Virginia, and died near Willow Island in that county in 1879, at the age of eighty-two. His son, William Myers, was born near Cumberland January 7, 1837, was reared there and as a young man moved to Tyler County, West Virginia, where he spent his active life engaged in farming. He lived retired on his farm four miles north of Centerville until his death February 24, 1922. Dur- ing the Civil war he was a captain of the Home Guards in Tyler County, and was called out to repel Morgan's raid, getting as far as West Union in Doddridge County. He was a republican and a very active member of the United Brethren Church. Captain Myers married in Tyler County Nancy G. Thomas, who was born near Centerville in 1839, and died on the home farm December 16, 1911. They became the parents of a large family of children: Henry R., owner of a large body of land on which he does a successful business as a cattle man and sheep raiser five miles east of Centerville; Mary, who died at the age of eighteen; Susan, whose first husband was John Tustin, a farmer, and she is now the wife of Jacob Thomas, a farmer living three and a half miles north of Centerville; Robert, who died when three years of age; Agnes, wife of Albert Nichols, a farmer at Walker Station in Wood County; James Sheridan, a foreman for the Pittsburg & West Virginia Gas Company, living a mile south of Jacksonburg; Emma J., widow of William Stone, who at the time of his death was deputy sheriff at New Martinsville, where she makes her home; Ingrim; William S., a merchant at Big Moses, his home being a mile east of Middlebourne; Neason George, a farm owner, an oil gauger for the Eureka Pipe Company, and now president of the County Court of Wetzel County, his home being at Porters Falls; Miss Fannie, at home; David Winfield, an oil and gas operator near West Union; and John W., who is superintendent of the Gladstone Oil & Refining Company and a resident of Shreveport, Louisiana. Ingrim Myers spent his early life on his father's farm and acquired his education in the rural schools of Tyler County. After he was fifteen he worked two years on the farm, and in 1889, at the age of seventeen, entered the service of the Eureka Pipe Line Company, beginning in the Eureka oil fields of Pleasants County. In 1895 he was transferred as field foreman for this company to the Wetzel County field at Smithfield, and in 1902 the Eureka Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil, transferred him to California, where he superintended the laying of an eight-inch pipe line from Bakersfield to San Francisco, a distance of three hundred miles. After this work was finished he returned East, and for the Standard Oil Company laid a six-inch pipe line from Somerset, Kentucky, to Licking River, a distance of a hun- dred and ten miles. In 1904 he resumed work with the Eureka Pipe Line Company at Pine Grove as field foreman continuing until January 1, 1905. On August 4, 1904, Mr. Myers was nominated for sheriff of Wetzel County on the republican ticket, and on the 6th of November had the distinction of being the first republican ever elected sheriff of the county. He was chosen by a major- ity of sixty-six over the democrat, D. H. Cox, who had formerly been sheriff. Mr. Myers served the constitutional term of four years, from 1905 to 1909, his official residence dur- ing this time being at New Martinsville. After leaving this county office he resumed his residence in Pine Grove, and is looking after his extensive interests as an oil producer, farmer and general business man. His farm comprises five hundred acres at the edge of Pine Grove, and he operates it as a diver- sified proposition, largely devoted to cattle growing. He is an oil producer in the Pine Grove and Porter's Falls fields of Wetzel County, is a stockholder and director in the First National Bank of New Martinsville, and besides his farm owns two hundred acres of coal lands in the county. His home is a modern residence on Main Street in Pine Grove. Besides his official record as sheriff of Wetzel County Mr. Myers was for four terms mayor of Pine Grove, and a number of terms a member of the City Council. He is affiliated with Mannington Lodge No. 31, A. F. and A. M., Fairmont Chap- ter No. 6, R. A. M., Fairmont Commandery No. 6, K. T., Osiris Temple of the Mystic Shrine at Wheeling, and White Lily Lodge No. 49, Knights of Pythias, at Smithfield. During the war he was registrar of the Draft Board, helping to fill out questionnaires for recruited men, and was also a leader in the various drives in his district. On August 12, 1902, at Pine Grove, he married Miss Kitty Vandyne, daughter of Jonathan D. and Captolia (Carpenter) Vandyne. Her mother lives at Reader, West Virginia. Her father, a farmer, died near Pine Grove in 1913. Mr. and Mrs. Myers had five children: Bessie, who died when two and a halt years old; Mildred, born January 6, 1906; Webster, born July 19, 1908; Ingrim, Jr., born August 1, 1911; and Charles Blaine, born November 8, 1915. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER
