Re: George Washington MYERS b. ca 1821 m. Mariah PARSON / PARSEN

In Reply to: George Washington MYERS b. ca 1821 m. Mariah PARSON / PARSEN by Nancy Agnew Peché of 237

I'm still seeking the parentage of
George MYERS b. ca 1821 in Kentucky. I believe he's a descendant of
George MYERS b. 1758 in York Co., PA died 1808 at Myers Station, Nicholas Co., KY
and his wife Margaret SMART.
Which one of their 15 children fathered George MYERS b. 1821?

What is the date of death and where are George W. MYERS and his wife Mariah PARSONS buried?
Are they buried at MYERS STATION in the MYERS FAMILY CEMETERY?

From the Civil War and Mexican War Pension File of Stephen CUNDIFF,
I learned Nancy Harriet MYERS, R. L. MYERS and Cora née Myers FOWLER were siblings.

From the census records I've read in Nicholas County, KY from 1850-1880, I realized
Nancy, Cora (Jacova also listed as Corry) and R. L. (Robert) MYERS all were
children of George W. MYERS and Mariah PARSONS.

Nancy Harriet MYERS and Stephen CUNDIFF's marriage certificate was included in the pension file and
was recorded at the county clerks office in Nicholas County, KY.
The marriage certificate states they were married at G.W. MYERS on April 6, 1875 in Nicholas Co., KY. The pension file in Stephen Cundiff's handwriting states they married near MYERS STATION.

In 1910 Robert L. MYERS lived in Bath Co., KY with his wife Susan ??. They married ca 1897 according to the 1910 census and by 1920 they still had no children. Robert's brother David Monroe MYERS was living with him. According to the Kentucky Death Index, I believe David Monroe MYERS died in 1913 and his brother Robert L. MYERS died in 1944. In the 1920 Census in Salt Lick, Bath Co., KY, niece Kate MYERS age: 22 is living with her uncle Robert L. MYERS. Does anyone know her parentage?

In 1910 Cora FOWLER and her husband Charles FOWLER lived in Covington, Kenton Co., KY. They had been married 18 years [married ca 1892) and had no children. I found Cora FOWLER living in the 1930 Census in Covington, Kenton Co., KY. She was a widow. I believe she died April 1930 according to the Kentucky Death Index. None of the census readings for her from 1910-1930 had her age even close to her date of birth. Jacova (Cora) was born ca 1853
Her age in the census is as follows:
Jacova, age: 7 in 1860
Jacova, age: 17 in 1870
Corry, age: 27 in 1880
Cora, age: 50 in 1910
Cora, age: 54 in 1920
Cora H., age: 69 in 1930

Is this Robert s/o George?
If Robert is the s/o George, what happened to his first wife Susan Myers? Was she deceased by 1930?

I anyone recognizes any of the MYERS who were born in Nicholas County, Kentucky, I'd sure appreciate a reply.
