If so, he isn't the son of William and Ellen...that doesn't seem to fit. But you have said that your Jacob's middle name is Abraham and the father here is Abraham? Name: Jacob Myers Age in 1870: 9/12 Birth Year: abt 1869 Birthplace: Illinois Home in 1870: Lancaster, Stephenson, Illinois Race: White Gender: Male Household Members: Name Age Abraham Myers 30 (born Pennsylvania) Mary Myers 30 Lydia Myers 6 Ellen Myers 5 Jacob Myers 9/12 Levi Epley 18 (Laborer) Living next door to this family is an Isaac MYERS age 26 born Pennsylvania with a wife Amelia and one year old son John. In trying to trace YOUR MYERS line back each generation this is the closest I could find. Does it fit with what you know for certain?
