    1. Re: Caleb Myers, 1811-1872, Wayne Co, NY-Allegan Co, MI
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi2.2ACIB/5906.1.1 Message Board Post: Gloria, Caleb's parents were Christopher and Anna Myers. Christopher was born in about the 1770s and died in 1842 in Lyons, Wayne Co., NY. And they did live in Phelps, Ontario Co., NY for a while. Part of Phelps was incorporated into the town of Lyons during the time that Wayne Co. was being incorporated. I don't think the family moved... it was just that their town and county names both changed. Also, I see in my notes about the U.S. Census of 1810, I have the following information. There was a James and a Samuel Myers living near Christopher during that census. I have not established a relationship. Could this be your James? In the 1810 U. S. Census Christopher Myers is listed in Ontario Co, NY (Reel 33, p. 150) with a household of: One male 26-45 (Christopher; est. birth date would be 1765-1784) One female 26-45 (Anna, b. about March 1769) One male 10-16 (b. 1794-1800) One male under 10 (b. 1800-1810) One female 10-16 (b. 1794-1800 -- possibly Huldah) Three females under 10 (b. 1800-1810 -- one was Prudence; others unknown) Living nearby were a Sam. Myers and a Jas. Myers. (Samuel Myers was in the same age range as Christopher: 26-45; he could have been Christopher's brother, as he appears to be a little old to be his son. In Samuel's household were one female age 16-26 (b. about 1784-1794) and two males under age 10 (b. 1800-1810). By the age of his wife and children it appears that Samuel may have been younger than Christopher.) (James Myers was age 16-26 (b. 1784-1794). In his household was a female of the same age, and one male under 10. It is possible for James to have been the son of Christopher and Anna. If Samuel was indeed younger than Christopher, as speculated above, then James was probably not his son.) Hope to hear from you, Jerilyn
