To Marfy and Interested Parties Dear Marfy, I'm having to write you through NJHUNTER-L again as I'm still having problems with my laptop set-up. Believe its due to having DSL - SBC Yahoo and a local company, Snowcrest which I haven't wanted to disconnect due to genealogy contacts. I have been tracing my line of the MYERS family for 20 years, learned a few years back from the Nunda, NY Historian and the Internet that Albertus Myers and Anna Hahn/Hann were more than likely the parents of my PETER MYERS, but I didn't want to list them until I had proof of documentation. I feel completely satisfied they are and that's why I inquired as to who Albertus parents were. Below is some of the information I have on Peter. Peter Myers son of Albertus Myers/Mires & Anna Hahn/Hann: Born: 22 Sep 1790 - Flemington, Hunterdon, NJ Died: 27 Oct 1874 - Nunda, Livingston, NY Buried: Oakwood Cemetery - Nunda, Livingston, NY Married: 2 times - 1st to Elizabeth last name still no proof but been told Hoover Born: unknown - Died: 28 Oct 1834, Nunda Livingston,NY 2nd to Betsey (Elizabeth) Stivers on 18 Nov 1840, Nunda NY Born: 21 May 1815 - Died: 27 Mar 1904 Burial: 29 Mar 1904 Oakwood Cemetery, Nunda Livingston NY Known Children: 4 sons - 1 daughter by 1st marriage to Elizabeth 5 sons - 1 daughter by 2nd marriage to Betsey Stivers (If you would like more information on the children, let me know and I'll sent it) PROOF OF DOCUMENTATION & Other items of interest: DEED LDS FILM #807002 - Book 76 - Pages 321, 322, 323 - Albertus Myers, deceased - Peter Myers to John Cain (Peter's brother in law - Peter's sister, Anne) Page 321 - Peter Myers to John Cain This indenture made this Seventh day of October in the year of our Lord One Thousand eight hundred and forty one Between Peter Myers of the Township of Nunda in the County of Alleghany and State of New York party of the first part and John Cain of the Township of Delaware in the County of Hunterdon and State of New Jersey party of the second part Some information from the Nunda, NY, Historian: received May 21, 2001 Peter Myers was a pioneer born in Flemington NJ 1790 (Village clerk records) and settled here in 1825.

BOOK: Hands of History of Nunda 1808 - 1908 LDS FILM # 0844642 Page 228 - The Peter Myers Family (Believe this article was written around 1908) This family from New Jersey settled in 1824 or 1825 on the Myers homestead, where Peter Myers Jr. and his sister, Sarah still reside. Mr. Myers and his good wife Elizabeth and son James S. were among the first that settled in the north eastern part of the town. The other children of this worthy couple were Wesley, who is still living in the west and was, like James and Monroe, a carpenter and who worked on the second Baptist church. He is now about 80 years of age. Anna, the next younger, married Peter Youells and lived in Michigan until her death. Her husband is still living. He is about the same age as his boy friends, Peter VanDorn and John Creveling of Tuscarora, i.e., about 84, and like them enjoys a fair degree of health. William the next son is not living. Monroe, who celebrated his 75 birthday April 6th, has long been identified with the interests of this village, having built six of the buildings, on South Church Street. James Myers is remembered as a music! ian who played all kinds of keyed instruments in the old Baptist church along with Quartus Baron, who played the bass viol before the days of the "Camps" and their pipe organs. He also made and played violins and viols. He went to California in '49 with his brother-in-law, Reuben Hungerford, who is still living, but returned a cripple. I remember well their home coming for they were my neighbors. Page 229 - genial and gentlemanly. Mr. James Myers and family moved to this village and with his brother-in-law, Virgil Hungerford, (Virgil Hungerford is James wife Jennette's brother) built the present Universalist church and the cement walk, one of the first in front of it, in 1871. He was building the large house on Fair Street, Patridge Park, for himself in 1873 when he fell from the roof and as "instantly" killed. Mr. Peter Myers married for a second wife Betsey Stivers and this couple had five sons and a daughter: Martin, who died in the Civil War, Albert, Peter, Sarah, Duane and Adelbert, all of these five are still living. It is my privilege to be able to tell them of a pioneer incident that reflects great credit to their father's kindness of heart. Zadock Sherwood, the revolutionary soldier pioneer, told in my hearing, that when he had cleared some land, he needed some seed wheat and hearing that Mr. Myers has some he went there and inquired if he had some seed wheat to sell. Have you the money to pay for it? asked farmer Myers. The veteran took out a well filled purse. Then you can't have it, I must save it for those who have no money to buy with; you can get it off any one. Was th another man in the whole town like this big hearted Jersy man? The luster of this deed shines with diamond splendor alter full four score years. A score of years afterward when Peter Youells m! arried Anna Myers, Uncle Dick, his father said (everybody called him Uncle Dick) in his funny way: "It is all right she belongs to the best breed in the town" and no one disputed him. Hope the above information is what you wanted. Look forward to hearing from you. Marilyn
