The first census I can find James on, was 1850 living in Cohocton, Steuben Co. NY. In 1855 he was in Hartsville. His birthplace was listed as Ontario Co. NY. There was a Josiah Myers living in Phelps in 1820 & was in Steuben Co. on 1830 census. I am wondering if that was his Father. Have not been able to find Josiah after 1830. James named his sons: (1) Augustus C (do not know what the C stood for. (2) Jacob Josiah (3) Charles Monroe (My G Grandfather). There were 2 Daut also: Nancy & Anne. One interesting thing on the 1850 & 1860 Cohocton census, an ( Oliver) Ross Myers had a son named Josiah and another named David (Monroe). Some Census' had James father born in NJ others NY. Have checked James' death record in MN and it gives no parents names. Gloria
