This is just what I've been looking for...for a long time. You have great talent in using research resources. Did you have to go locally to a courthouse and look this up: Series: M432 Roll: 840 Page: 244, and the other references? Are these tax records or censuses? I can't thank you enough for this! (1) "My" Zacharias Myers married Sarah Kunkle and they are the family that show up in Freeport, IL. I think by the time they surface in 1880 - Harlem, Stephenson Co., IL - 6/2/1880 that Charles A. (then 17 or maybe 18)was out of the home. One of his early jobs was for a farm implement dealer. He didn't marry until 1891, and by then he'd moved to Iowa. He married Edith Mae Dopp. Here are the lines about them in the Dopp family geneaology, the Sinnett Manuscript (http://genforum.genealogy.com/dopp/messages/54.html) where his mother's name is wrong/misspelled. Edith May Dopp Married June 29, 1891 to Charles Alfred Myers, born at York, PA September 26, 1863 Hotel proprietor Sheldon, IA; President of the O'Brien County, IA, County Fair Association; Secretary of Sheldon, IA; Commercial Club. Schools of Freeport, IL. Was an implement dealer, then a traveling salesman, and for several years has been a hotel proprietor...The son of Zaccharias Myers and Martha Kinkle of York, PA and Freeport, IL. (2) My grandfather (George Earl Myers, second son of Charles A.) retold stories his own father (and perhaps also his grandfather) had told of a mill operated by the family in Emigsville, PA, so I think you are right that the Samuel Myers of reference 1850 - Manchester Twp., York Co., PA - 10/3/1850 Myers, Samuel - 47 - miller - $20,000 was Zachariah's father. Did your gggg aunt go by Mary rather than Anna Maria to track with the listing of her beneath Samuel as -- Mary - 44? (3) Do you have the lineage back from Samuel? Again, thank you so much--your research abilities are remarkable and willingness to share is so kind! Best wishes, Mary Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
