Myers researchers, Benjamin Chance (1823-1884) married in 1843 to Mary Celinda Myers in Franklin Co.,IN. I know nothing of her past...parents, siblings, nothing. The Chance line lived in Franklin Co.,IN for some time and so Marys parents must have moved to that area. I looked for years and have found nothing on her. Any cousins out there? Thank you.

When you wrote from PA it took my attention and I did a search. I expect you know everything I found in my search and the only clue I noticed that might help is I wonder what you know about the 10 year old Esther J. MYERS living with the family in 1860? Mary Celinda died in 1851 and Benjamin remarried shortly thereafter. But that Esther J. MYERS might be clue. Do you think she is actually Esther J. Myers CHANCE and the census taker just got it wrong? It is often the case that the first female child of a second marriage is named after the deceased first wife so that might be the case? What is your thought on that? As for Mary Celinda's parents moving to Indiana before she married Benjamin in 1843. I checked the 1840 census for Franklin County for any MYERS families with a daughter age 10-14 or 15-19 who could have been Mary C. I only found two: an Isaac age 30-40 and Gedeon age 20-29. Couldn't find anything additional on either that would tie them to Pennsylvania where Mary C. was born.
