Surnames: MOYERS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HU2.2ACIB/207.1 Message Board Post: I have you're Silas MOYERS from Preston Co., WV (old VA). My grandmother was born in Preston County and all of her people were from that county as well as Harrison; my grandfather's line was from Wetzel, Pendleton, Tyler, Ohio Counties; OHIO and both lines came in from Washington and Berks County, PA. P.S. I ran a check on Silas and I did find 3 w/Civil War Records Union as well as finding him in the census for PA, not WVA. Is it possible that he was named after his father or uncle and his line, came in from PA? Or do you believe he is part of the extensive MOYERS line that date back to the 1700's in WVA? I'll get back to you tonight. Chrystie MYERS List & Board Adm. for the MOYERS
