Surnames: KING / KRING / MYERS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi2.2ACIB/6340 Message Board Post: I recently learned Barbara's real surname was KRING and I hope to inform others researching this line of the error in transcribing Barbara's surname as KING onto other records. The Knox County Ohio Marriage Record Book 1808-1875, pg. 123, lists the marriage of Daniel Myers and Barbara Ann King on August 9, 1855, performed by R.C. Colmery, Minister. After obtaining a copy of their Original written Marriage Record from the Knox County Records Center, Mt. Vernon, OH., I found her very readable surname on it to be KRING, Not KING!! This explains why, after prolonged searches I could not connect her with any King families in the area. Since discovering her real name, I found a George KRING family in the 1850 Census, Clinton Twp., Knox Co., OH., Roll 700 Book 1, Page 261a. With a daughter named Barbara Ann who has a twin sister! Coincidently, just down the road from them in the same Census on Page 257a., lived Daniel MYERS, age 32, farmer, with his 1st wife Sarah & children! His 1st wife Sarah died abt 1852. 1850 Census: George KRING, age 54, laborer, b.PA - Elizabeth, age 47, b.MD - Washington, age 18, laborer, b.OH - Barbara Ann, age 16, b.OH - (twin) Caroline, age 16, b.OH - Isaac, age 8, b.OH - Albert, age 6, b.OH - Elizabeth, age 3, b.OH - Amanda, age 4mo, b.OH. Could not find this family in the 1860 Census. Barbara (Kring) Myers died in 1867 after giving birth to twin sons. Still searching for her place of burial. Daniel Myers m'd 3rd wife Mary Bowser in 1868. Daniel died 1904, Hume, Allen Co., OH. Buried in Shawnee Cemetery, Allen Co. Daniel & Barbara Myers were my children's paternal g-g-grandparents. I hope this info has been helpful to others that are researching this MYERS line. Julia
