I would be very interested in any info you might have on this John Myers that moved to Calloway County...could possibly be a link and might be John the son of Ulrich Myers (PA) and brother to William and Henry Myers (of Montgomery County...but William moved to Grayson County). Could you share how you know this John Myers and that he moved to Calloway County?
Thank you for any info,
Charlotte Myers Ker
