"Looking for family members of Thomas Myers and Sarah Ann Bullard. Thomas' parents were George Myers and Polly Doughty (Dougherty). Thomas and Sarah's children included Tabitha, Maggie, Nora and Mary F. George and Polly Myers brought their family to Brown County early 1850's. Their son Peter Myers also brought his family about the same time. Other children of George and Polly were: William, Peter, Elizabeth, Thomas."

 "Searching for information on Myers families in Brown County, Illinois between 1850 and 1890. George (Black Hawk) Myers wife Polly Doughty moved to Brown County about 1850 with children Ruth, Betsy Ann, Thomas, maybe others. Peter m. Martha H. Linn also moved to Brown County but I am not sure if it was before or after Martha's death. Peter married twice in Brown County, first Rhody Bullard and Mary E. Reeves after Rhody's death. Ruth married John Bullard, Thomas married Sarah Ann Bullard, Elizabeth A. (I think this was Betsy Ann) married William P. Houston, William married Viola Metcalf. Looking for any information so I can fill in the puzzles. Also looking for Mary E. Reeves family; father was Silas Reeves married Sarah DeHart. {Peggy Keppler, 8 Dec 1996, <http://brown.ilgenweb.net/Queries/Brown_query1.html>}
