I've no other information on the Myers family of Calloway County. I do know
one person who might have something additional and will try to make a
contact to see. I work away from Calloway County during the week but can
monitor some of my lists. The person who helped me obtain what I have
passed away 2 years ago and I have not had much opportunity to study this
matter further. Hopefully we can all learn something new from this.

My cousin that helped me on this speculated that Henry Myers was the father
of John W. Myers but could not prove it. He also thought that Lewis Myers
was a brother to John W. Myers, but again, he had no proof.

We have a fairly good set of records here at the local court house and they
try to be as helpful as possible. Most of the early deeds and other records
are readable. Some few were lost several years ago, but most are intact.
