Donna Young: My Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather Myers/Meyers was named Surzardus. His wife's name was Maria. In your project, Meriah's husband was Surgasdus Meyers # 44880. I have very little on them. I do know that they were divorced and that Maria and at least thress of her children moved to Midland, Michigan. Maria died there. Surzardus lived his last years in a home in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. They had seven children altogether, the fourth being my ancestor, Lorenzo W. Myers I, of Jenningsville, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, who married Ruth Trowbridge.⁵
