Anyone have Myers men in that age group living in NORTH CAROLINA in 1840 . Jacob would have been 25 and was married in Grant county INDIANA in 1840. JACOB was born 14, Dec. 1815 in OHIO but during the years prior to 1815 I am trying to learn WHEN and WHERE his parents were livng after their births in North Carolina or if they in fact had migrated from another country and settled in North Carolina before migrating into the Ohio territory pre-1815 . I am enclosing a photo of Jacob .. anyone in YOUR MYERS LINE LOOK LIKE HIM ??
