I have traced the family to the extent I have been able from our immigrant ancestor in 1751. Since I published a book (in 1991) I have learned from a relative that she has found the German records for the immigrant's birth and marriage, as well as births for several of his children.
As far as Myra, she is listed in the 1850 Burke Co NC census with her parents, David and Lainda (Lail) Settlemire. Her name was spelled "Maria" and she was age 4. In 1860 she was "Mira" and age 13. She married William Swink on 1 May 1861 in Burke Co NC and her father signed the marriage bond.
