MYERS, MEYERS, MEYER,,MOYER ,MOYERS - According to a marriage record, below, Wm. R. Myers [father of the groom Wm. V.] was b. in Hampton Co. Va. From an 1850 Law. Co. KY Census, Wm. R. was b. abt 1812 VA. He m. Matilda Ann Jividen* in Gallia Co. OH in 1833. *[6 levels down fron Antoine Gevaudan of Manakin Town, VA] It is unlikely that there would be a birth record in Hampton in 1812. There may be tax records. Of course I don't know the name of his father, but I might be able to narrow the field. I'm requesting advice on where/how to search for him. Thank you. A J
