Yes.This sounds very familiar.I think you are descended from my granduncle DeWitt Cyphers who resided in Florida. I sure hope so--nobody from my side of the family--still in Ohio, I live in Boston--has heard from them since the 1940s. My father, George Cyphers had a look-alike cousin named Russell who was DeWitt Cyphers' son.
DeWitt Cyphers had had two brothers, James Wallace Cyphers, who was postmaster at Foley AL for many years, and Glenn Dale Cyphers, my grandfather, who died at Norwalk Ohio in the flu epidemic of 1918.I have been researching the family for many years and made contact with some Cyphers connections who have traced the name back in direct line to 1788 and some speculative earlier connections. For more information, please contact me at the Email address above.
