I am seeking information on Jacob Myers, born in Lancaster County, PA in 1758. Among other things, I am trying to confirm that he is the father of my GG grandfather, William Myers, as well as the name of Jacob's wife, and information on Jacob's parents. Here's what I have found so far. William was born about 1787 in Newlin Twp, Chester County. He was married 24 December 1812 in Chester County, to Alice Rebecca Ingram, who was born 3 January 1787 in Chester County. Both died in Edinburg, Ohio; William on 4 October 1858 and Alice on 1 May 1857. Other information I have on this Jacob Myers: He was married to Rebecca Ann Ent on 2 Oct 1782, in Philadelphia. In addition to a child named William, his other children included James, Peter, Lewis, John B., Ephnaur(sp?), Esso, Frederick, Rebecca and Lydice. He moved to Chester County at some point in time, but I do not know the year. I also have a reference to a Callam Cemetary. Is there such a cemetary in Chester County? Bob Myers

First of all, how good is the info you have? Is it from primary resources, or from somewhere, on the web....undocumented..... where you found the info makes a big difference. In general, what you need to do is start with a provable generation and work backwards, one generation at a time, documenting each one, before moving back to the next generation back. It's okay to 'gather' internet data, but don't accept it as truth...just as clues...so, what is the earliest provable generation you have. (names, dates and places)...we should start there. (just at a glance, you say Wm was born in 1787, Chester County, PA? If so, have you checked the 1790 Chester census, to see if you can find him? He won't be enumerated by name, but sex and age, in the household of his father). I've never heard of the name Callam, in relation to a Chester cemetery, or in any other context......sorry.
