Lonnie, the information I have is from a sworn statement that George Myers gave in Leake Co. Miss. Probate Court on the 6th day of Nov.1838. It was for a widow's Revolutionary War Pension application of Catharine Gable Myers Null, widow of John Myers dec'd. George Myers swore he resided in Kemper Co.Miss at the present time. He said he was born August 10th 1766 in Northampton County Pennsylvania. That he was the brother of John Myers dec'd, and both of them were the sons of Captain William Myers. He stated how they left Pennsylvania after the Revolutionary War and moved to East Tennessee. George Myers was in the 1798 tax list for Greene Co.Tn.,thats all I've found on him here. He didn't own any land at the time. His brother John owned land here in Greene Co.Tn. until they moved to Davidson Co.Tn. where John Myers died. John Myers & Catharine Gable had a daughter Susannah, who was christened Sept.25,1785 in Penn. and married George Kocher Jr. here in Greene Co.Tn. Sept.26, 1804. This George Kocher also gave a sworn statement in Leake Co.Miss in this same Pension application This pension application was signed by Thomas Myers a court clerk of Leake Co.Miss. and he stated that he was a son of Catharine Gable Myers Null,the applicant. George Myers's father William died in 1823 in Greene Co.Tn. and left a will, but he only named the children of his second marriage to Nancy Carter. We do not know who his first wife was, George's mother. The known children of William Myers Sr. are John, George,& Magdaline by his first wife, and Adam, Rachel & Gabriel by his second wife. Other possible children by his first wife are William Myers Jr. and Charles Myers Sr. and maybe a Mical. I would like more information about George Myers. Was there a George Myers Junior ? I have more on this family in Greene Co.Tn. and in Northampton Co.Pa. You can e-mail me at [email protected] Looking forward to hearing from you. Wayne
