Mary E. Meyers was born 1828 to Christopher Meyers and Sarah McGowan from Bledsoe County. In the l850 census a Mary E. is listed in the Bledsoe County census as the wife of John Parks with two children Sarah A. and James. She was born in 1828. By l860 this family has moved to White County and they have added children Thomas C., Jane, Annie E., Tesessa E., and William C. In the l870 White County census they have added one more child, Susan, 6. In the l880 census one finds Mary E. listing her father being born in Tn. and her mother as being from S.C. Living with them is a Martha Jane Dyer,20, niece. This is Mary E.'s niece, the daughter of her sister, Sarah. If one looks at the White County l860 census one finds Sarrah C.28, married to Apollas Dyer with children Mary S.H., James R.C.. Sarrah E.F. and Martha. People who have researched Apollas Dyer say that this family moved to Texas in l88! 0; hence why their daughter Martha is living with them--she didn't want to move to Texas. Mary and John Parks youngest daughter, Susan Martha(sometimes Martha Susan) marries James R. Bean. Her death certificate, April 29, l938, lists her mother as being Mary Meyers, Tn., and father as John Parks. Susan and James go on to have children--Ruth, Vinnie, Mary, Nora, Lass, James, Holman, Rose, Ellie, Lora, Charles, and Ruby plus a few more who died. My grandmother is Ellie who married Henry Clay Jameson. They had two children, Mary Katheryn and Lucy May Dorothy. Lucy (Dorothy) is my mother. The only questionable section of this is the part where Sarah McGowan is listed as being born in S.C. Some of the things I have seen say she was born in N.C. But looking at the original l850 Bledsoe census I think what is being listed as N.C. could really be S.C. This does match the bio information from the Memorial and Biographical Record of the Cumberland Region, which has been placed of this site before. Any one wanting more information concerning this line is more than welcome to contact me.
