As I stated my Grandfather is Richard Lawrence Myers born 25 May, 1935 in Sheboygan Wisconsin. He died 22 JUL, 2010 in Riverside, CA but it could be listed as Loma Linda, CA. My Grandmother was Donna Mae Hennen Born 13 SEP 1940 in Fond Du Lac, WI and died 30 SEP 2002 in Loma Linda, CA. They had 5 children. And spent most of my life living in Riverside, CA but I believe they moved to CA from Zion, Illinois which is where my mother was born. His (Richard Lawrence Myers) father was Roy James Myers Born 4 MAY 1911 in Chilacothe, IL. He died 22 SEP 1999 in Olney, Richland, IL. He was married to Ora Arlene Elliott Born 20 JAN 1913 in Ocanta Falls, WI. She died 10 APR 1988 in Waupan, WI. They had 9 children. And when I met them at the age of 5 (I am now 29) they were living in Waupan, WI still. Roy James Myers father was Jacob Abraham Myers Born ABT FEB 1868 in IL. He died ABT JAN 1928 in Ladoga, WI. He was married to Sarah Ann Talbert (My grandfather knew her as Sadie) Born 31 MAR 1886 in Chillocothe, IL. And died 31 MAR 1975 in Waupan, WI. They had what I believe to be 10 children. A 1925 Iowa census stated they lived in Greene county. It also stated Jacob Abraham Myers father as William Myers B.P. Ohio and Eellen Freeman B.P. Ohio. I was able to find a 1880 census that put a William F Myers in Hopewell, Marshall, IL Born in Ohio ABT 1834 and married to an Ellen Freeman. They had 9 children at that time. He was a farmer. It states his Fathers Birthplace is Virginia and his Mothers Birthplace as North Carolina. I have searched and searched but I have hit a dead end. I feel like the information is right in front of me, but I can't make sense of it. I was able to find an 1850 census in Wayne Ohio for a Jacob Myers Born in TN ABT 1811 married to a Sarah Day (1818-1851) It listed their children as Nelli, William 16, Bazzel 8, Addison 6, and Jacob 1. I do not know if this is the right family. It appears most of my Myers line were business men and farmers. They moved around a lot. I have seen mostly Ohio, Iowa, and Wisconsin in my research. I would really like to learn is Jacob Myers and Sarah Day are William F Myers parents, and if so who their parents were to get me over this hump. I have been stuck at this spot for the past month and haven't moved from it. I have pictures of the Myers up to Jacob Abraham Myers my great great grandfather so I know at least to that point my information is correct. From there it is fuzzy. Thank you for your time! I really appreciate any information anyone might have or could share. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
