Below is the message which I had sent earlier (11/16/01) about my Daniel Myers, in response to Cathy Simmons's web site on which she listed, in Preston County, WV, Daniel Myers, born 1838, son of William and _________ Daniels Myers. I had concluded that this was my Daniel Myers, since he is listed in Oren F. Morton's "A History of Preston County, West Virginia" (originally published in 1914; reprinted by Clearfield Co., 1997), page 457, that mentioned that William Myers m. _____ Daniels, and among his children was a son Daniel Myers, who married Eva Wile. HOWEVER, there is confusion somewhere, as was called to my attention by another genealogist. My Daniel Myers was actually born ca 1818; he is listed as age 62 (wife Eve, age 63) in the Sedgwick County, KS 1880 census (they later returned to Preston Co, WV). The problem, apparently, is that neither Cathy or I are working with any primary records here. Any Myers' genealogists have any solutions to this confusion?
