Was he born in 1851? I have a Jacob Byers born in 1879 in WV. son of Isaiah Byers born Oct 1849 in Ohio and Mary E. (unknown) who is son of Elijah J Byers born 1820, Mother, Levina (unknown). they also had a son, Elijah, born 1851 in Ohio and a daughter Rhoda born 1865 in Ohio.. I have been trying to find where Jacob died, date of death and where he is buried. He died between 1910 and 1921 from the result of a bicycle accident.( family knowledge)_. This is my mother,s father. Does any one have this line. Jacob died before my Mother,s birth in 1921 in Wirt CO WV. My mother passed away in 1964. Jacob married Virgie Wamack in 1910 poss. in Summit CO OH. They were in the 1910 US Census in that County.They had a daughter Ethel born in Summit CO OH in 1914. Mother was born in Wirt CO WVA in 1921 after Jacob,s death..
