Does anyone out here know who the below families are, and why they have a 1 separate MIRES living with them? Do they connect? *NOTE: The reason they mean so much to me is that my ggg James Napoleon MYERS b abt 1839 somewhere in Tennessee is a major brickwall for myself and like cousins; fire destroyed all records in 1856 and it's fair fact that Napoleon was left with the MOYERS family in Jefferson Co., TN. Now, the reason these MIRES have meaning to this great mystery is because my Napoleon named his first son Pleasant (my gg). No where do you find this name used in his wife Margaret LINDSEY/ROBERTS/EMERT lines, except with his first cousin John Alexander MOYERS/MYERS and his wife Nancy GANN when they name their son Pleasant too. I just find it odd. Maybe the below Pleasant MIRES is (I dunno).. Somehow the missing link. ANOTHER NOTE: There are other Pleasant MYERS in East TN during this period but they're born much later so they are all ruled out. >From Sevier Co., TN 1850 Census 12th District: WHO IS THIS HEAVY MIRES & N.M.
