Surnames: CUMMINGS, HIXON, KENDRICK, MYERS-MEYERS-MOYERS, STEVENS, TAYLOR
I am researching the STEVENS family headed by Zachariah STEVENS, b. 1789, and Anna (KENDRICK) who settled in 1853 in Cisne with 4 or 5 of their 10 children. I am descended from Henry STEVENS, his son, who was b. 1818 in Athens Co., OH and came to IL with his brothers and sisters and his father from Vinton, OH. TAYLOR, CUMMINGS, HIXON, and MATCHETT are some of the families that intermarried with the STEVENSes. Henry STEVENS m. Anna Margret MYERS sometime before the birth of their first child in 1852. Where I do not know? Have collected info. on these families and will share.
Anna Margret MYERS was b. Feb 9, 1827 in PA, d. 1876 in Cisne,
IL. There seems to have been an epidemic in her family, because her
husband, Henry STEVENS, and all but 4 of her 9 children died within
months of each other. Here is a list of MYERS in the area,
please let me know if you have connections with these ancestors.
