This is the information I have f...Hi its me again,<br /><br />This is the information I have found on the Moyer, Moyers, Myres, Myers, and Meyers.<br /><br />Amelia is the sister to Rebecca Meyers (Moyers, Moyer, or Meyer)who married ALBERT CALKINS. On world connect/one world tree someone had it listed she was a witness to Rebecca and Franks marriage, that they had the copy.<br /><br /> By the 1880 Census Amelia was living in Benton, Fremont, Iowa as well as Frank and Rebecca. By the 1885 Nebraska State Census they lived in Center, Cass, Nebraska. Frank and Rebecca lived in Plattsmouth, Cass., Nebraska (where my grandparents lived almost their whole life). By the 1900 census she lived in Mount Idaho, Idaho, Idaho. I am not sure when she died. <br /><br />On the 1850 state census George and Sarah had 3 kids and were living in District 130, White, Indiana. They had Elizabeth b. 1846 in Indiana, John b. 1842 in Illinois, Eliza Ann b. 1850 in Indiana. On the 1860 census they lived in Hickory Grove, Grant, Wisconsin. They had 6 children: John b. 1842 Illinois, Elizabeth b. 1846 in Indiana, Emma C b. 1850 in Indiana (maybe Eliza Ann by the 1850 census?), Rebecca b. 1854 in Indiana, Amelia b. 1856 in Wisconsin, and Charles A b. 1859 in Wisconsin.<br /><br />I cant find anyone in the 1870's census. <br /><br />I noticed Rebecca and Amelia both lived in Benton, Fremont, Iowa in the 1880's so I looked to see if there were any siblings living there also from the mentioned above census of George and Sarah. Low and Behold living next door to Amelia is an Elizabeth Estes b. 1845 in Indiana and parents were born in Virginia and Ohio. Elizabeth was married to Gilvester and this couple stayed in Fremont until 1900 when I couldnt find either of them after. So I did a search to see what Estes were buried in Fremont, Iowa. Gilvester with such an original name popped up as being buried in Thurman Cemetery. I then looked to see if I could find out if Elizabeth is buried there and sure enough she is, she was born 03-18-1846 and died 12-09-1918. Informaton found here:<br /><br />http://iagenweb.org/fremont/cemetery/thurman/e.htm<br /><br />Here is a picture of the headstone but her side was never finished:<br /><br />http://billiongraves.com/pages/record/GilvesterBEstes/601872<br /><br />By the 1900 census Elizabeth and Gilvester married sometime around 1868, I have not found out where.<br /><br /><br />My interest is peaked here and am wondering who this could be or if it is the same person as George E Meyers.<br /><br />By the 1885 Nebraska census in Plattsmouth, Cass County living next door to Frank and Rebecca is a Bert Williamson married to a Celia born in 1858 in Iowa. Living with Bert and Celia Williamson they had a George Myeres listed as a brother law who was born in 1862 in Iowa. At first I thought it was Rebecca's brother and possible sister Emma C? as the birth and time frame fit for George but then I found him living with George and Sarah in Center, Cass, Nebraska. I am wondering if he could be the same George who appeared in the census twice or relatives to both Williamson and Moyers?<br /><br />Interesting even more Elizabeth Cunningham married William Short Aug 1885 and has a G E Myers? from Cass County as a wittness to the marriage. By the 1885 census Elizabeth lived with Frank and Rebecca and this George Meyers lived next door, same George as a witness?<br /><br />I did a little research on this Bert and Celia Williamson and ran across a marriage record of Celia Dougherty and Bert Williamson with no list of parents or marital status. They were married in Taylor Iowa which is 2 counties from Fremont.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051571303644868973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836358481006108284.post-66493698364332537352011-04-27T09:47:37.701-07:002011-04-27T09:47:37.701-07:00It's amaZing how helpful and kind people are w...It's amaZing how helpful and kind people are when they are passionate about what they love and what they do- that's exactly what I find at the farmer's market amongst the farmers and vendors.
