1967, is now WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
On Saturday, May 12th, 1984, there was a Commemorative Ceremony held at the old ANDERSON/BART ON Cemetery in Grayson County, some two miles east of Caneyville and north of Hwy 62. It wa s patriotic in nature, both civilian and military.
It touched on the history of "Grandfather Daniel and Grandmother Margaret, and on their issue ". It was put on by the Grayson County (KY) Historical Society to honor this REVOLUTIONARY W AR Soldier.

One applicant for D.A.R. membership lists the following as the military record of DANIEL BIER S:
"Daniel (Byers) (Daniel Biers) served in the military forces as a Private in
Captain Daniel Hall's Company of Caintucky County Militia (Virginia), under
Col. George Rogers Clark, 1780, in the Ohio Campaign against the Shawnees, and as a Private i n Captain James Rodger's Company of Jefferson County Militia (Kentucky Territory or Judicia l District), under Major General George Rogers Clark, 1782, in his second Ohio Campaign.

The date of his death is either: "circa 1818; or, after an 1805 deed." The
date of death of his wife, Margaret, is also given as "after 1805" so she must have been name d on the deed also.

THOMAS2 BYERS (DANIEL1) was born 1781 in ,Jefferson Co., KY, and died March 07, 1855. He married (1) SARAH BURTLES May 31, 1810 in ,Grayson Co., KY. She was born Abt. 1784 in ,St. Mary's Co., MD, and died Abt. 1848 in ,Pike Co., IN. He married (2) MARY BURTLES November 26, 1849 in ,Pike Co., IN. She was born February 14, 1789 in ,St. Mary's Co., Maryland, and died June 29, 1866 in ,Pike Co., IN.Notes for THOMAS BYERS:
Thomas Byers and his wife, Sarah Burtle Byers, are the great-great grandparents
of BOTH Bessie Marie Rhoads and her husband, William Garland Byers.
Thomas Byers married a second time to Mary (Burtle) Corn, the widow of David
Corn, and a sister to his first wife, Sarah Burtle. They were married by
Tarnell Evans, J.P. of Pike County,IN. There were no children. (Mary Burtle
Corn had 15 children in her marriage to David Corn.
Thomas Byers was the son of a Revolutionary Soldier, DANIEL BYERS/BIERS.
There are two locations given for the marriage of Thomas Byers and Sarah Burtle
(May 31, 1810): Hardin Co., Ky and Grayson Co., KY. (Find my reference to
their marriage.)
Col. George Byers, Ph.D., S.A.R. #84301, (1893-1987), was a great-great grandson
of Thomas Byers (Thomas, James, Uriah, Geo. Wesley Byers). In 1967 he prepared
"The James Byers Biography", a three-page manuscript. In 1983 he sent a copy to
the daughter of Phyllis June Byers which was shared with me in May, 1994.
Because THOMAS BYERS is also the great-great grandfather of my husband, Albert
Nicholas Rhoades, and, because it locates this ancestor in various sites, I am
copying some selections from it here:
"James Byers was eldest child of THOMAS BYERS and SARAH BURTLE. The parents,
Thomas and Sarah, were married in Hardin Co., KY on May 31, 1810, probably in a
joint ceremony with her younger sister, Mary Burtle, and David Corn. James was
born in 1811 in Grayson County, KY, on the waters of Little Clifty Creek of the
Rough River system. (Note: Therefore, Thomas and Sarah lived there in 1811.)
Thomas Byers moved his family to Spencer County, Indiana in mid-1830 and is
recorded in the census there. His youngest child, Elizabeth, was an infant
then; but, she invariably shows her birthplace as Kentucky. Thomas Byers has
not (at 1967) been found in the 1820 census, nor has his crony David Corn, a
brother-in-law. Since all the children of Thomas Byers claim Kentucky as
birthplace, it is probable they were in Kentucky in 1820. It just could be
that they were in the Jackson Purchase, West of the Cumberland River, where
Thomas and David are known to have claimed land, and that they were not
enumerated because of that. At the time of their migration to Indiana, Thomas
and Sarah had six sons and four daughters. Our James was then nineteen.
(NOTE:My husband's great-great grandmother, MARGARET BYERS, who married Daniel
Kennedy WELLS, was the fifth child and was about eleven in mid-1830).
The earliest idntified Indiana home of the family was on land two miles south
of Friendship Church (of 1967) or two miles north of Chrisney, Indiana, and
three-quarters of a mile west, on the north side of the East-West road. The
tract is described as the West 1/2 of the SW 1/4, Section 35, Township 5 South
and Range 6 West, 80 acres. .....
David Corn, the uncle of James Byers, died in Pike County, Indiana in February
of 1844. He was husband of Mary Burtle, the sister of SARAH BURTLE BYERS. Sarah
was the wife of THOMAS BYERS and mother of James Byers. Another of the Burtle
sisters, Catharine, then lived in Pike County, the widow since about 1828 of
William Corn, who was an elder brother of David Corn. It is probable that the
death of David Corn, the famed hunter, in 1844, leaving the second Burtle
sister a widow in Pike County, led to the removal of SARAH BURTLE BYERS and her
THOMAS BYERS to Pike County, to concentrate there the Burtle relatives. THOMAS
BYERS wenat from a splendid farm in Spencer to only a productive hunting ground
in Pike County. This move seems to have occurred in 1845 or 1846. It must
have followed rather closely on David Corn's death, but THOMAS and James BYERS
both paid land taxes in Spencer County in 1846 on assessments of the year
before. James and Jane and their children accompanied his parents (THOMAS and
SARAH BURTLE BYERS) on the move to Pike County......
James' mother, SARAH BURTLE BYERS, died in Pike County in about 1848 and,
according to Uriah Byers, was laid to rest in Brewster Burying Ground believed
quite certainly to be present abandoned Brewster Branch Cemetery, some 1-3/4
miles due east of present Winslow.
In 1849, on the 26th November, THOMAS BYERS married second his widowed
sister-in-law, Mary Burtle Corn. They had known each other from youth, and
chose to share their last days. In the 1850 enumeration of Jefferson Township
they are living in the household of James and Jane (Rogers) Byers, but only
weeks later they are again enumerated in Monroe Township of Pike Co., with
Mary's son, David Corn, Junior.
On March 7, 1855, THOMAS BYERS died in Pike County, Indiana, widowing Mary
Burtle for the second time. Seen thereafter James Byers and his children moved
southward to the Judge Skelton neighborhood in Warrick County, once more
concentrating the several children of THOMAS BYERS and his SARAH BURTLE in the
general area of present Tennyson, Heilman, Gentryville, Indiana.
....In the 1860 census, Stanley Byers, 14, was working for ABRAHAM RHOADS in
Boon Township (Warrick Co., IN).... (Stanley was a son of James Byers; and,
Abraham Rhoads was the son of Daniel Rhoads and Sally Hudspeth Rhoads, my
husband's great-grandfather.)....". (End of quoting from the James Byers
Biography by Col. George Byers.)

Record Change: February 19, 2000
Notes for SARAH BURTLES:
Sarah Burtle was the first wife of Thomas Byers. His second wife was Mary
(Burtle) Corn, the widow of David Corn, and a sister to Sarah Burtle. In fact,
Sarah Burtle married Thomas Byers on May 31, 1810 in Hardin County, KY and her
sister, Mary Burtle married David Corn on May 31, 1810 in Hardin County, KY.
It could have been a double ceremony! (Another source:m. Grayson Co.,KY).
Sarah Burtle and Thomas Byers are the great\great grandparents of BOTH Bessie
Marie Rhoads Byers and her husband, William Garland Byers.
In locating the marriage of Phoebe Evans to Jesse Wells (the parents of Daniel
Kennedy Wells who married Margaret Byers; Daniel Kennedy Wells married
Margaret Byers whose parents were Thomas Byers and Sarah Burtle) I found theEvans/Wells marri age in Washington County, Kentucky in 1809. Also listed were
the following:
Book 1, p. 73, 01 Feb 1806 WILLIAM BURTLES m. Sarah Ogden.
Book 1, p. 76, 16 Aug 1807 William Corn m. CATHERINE BURTLES (sister of
Sarah Burtle and Mary Burtle.)
Book 1, p. 184, 08 Oct 1819, JOSEPH BURTLES m. Eliza Mudd. Minister Jacob
Case.
NOTE: Observe the name has an "S" on the end in the Washington Co., KY
records.
Phoebe Evans Wells and Jesse Wells came to Spencer County, Indiana and Phoebe
Evans Wells in buried in Gentryville, Indiana.
I would like to research the possibility of all three families, Burtle, Wells
and Evans being in Washington County (Springfield), Kentucky. Maybe it would
give a clue to where they all came from.

Notes for MARY BURTLES:
Mary Burtle Corn and Thomas Byers had no children. She was a sister to his
first wife, Sarah Burtle. Thomas Byers was about 68 and Mary Burtle Corn was
60.
Mary Burtle Corn married David Corn on May 31, 1810 in Hardin Co., KY and she
bore him 15 children. On that same day, May 31, 1810, and in Hardin Co., KY,
her sister, Sarah Burtle married Thomas Byers. It could have been a double
ceremony!
She died at over 77 years of age at the home of her son, David Corn in Pike
Co., IN and is buried in the Corn Cem. which is in the Pike Co. Forest Reserve
in Pike Co., IN.

Notes for HUGH BYERS:
Data from a looseleaf notebook book "Pioneer Families of Pike and Warrick
Counties, IN, with ancestors and related families of Phillip Taylor"
that I found at the Petersburg, IN library on March 26, 1996, states that
Hugh Byers married Margaret Jane SIMPSON on Oct. 25, 1839 (place not
stated). Another source "Byers" file from the Vertical File of Family
Folders at the Public Library, Boonville, IN, compiled by Opal Phillips,
also says "Simpson". However, material put together by Col. George Byers
has a note: "No. 4 - Hugh Byers was married to Margaret Jane TENNYSON,
not Simpson, look at the marriage record books, please!".

4. MARGARET B
.3 BYERS (THOMAS2, DANIEL1) was born March 16, 1816 in Elizabethtown, Hardin Co., KY, and died November 13, 1858 in ,Spencer Co., IN. She married DANIEL KENNEDY (KANADA) WELLS February 28, 1839 in ,Spencer Co., IN. He was born May 02, 1818 in ,Kentucky, and died November 20, 1904 in Pigeon Twp., Warrick Co., IN.Notes for MARGARET B
. BYERS:Margaret B. Byers Wells was 31 years on the 1850 Census of Spencer Co., IN.
We believe that she died about 1856 or 1857; Rebecca, her last child was shown
as 4 years old on the 1860 census and Margaret Byers Wells was not on that
census. Daniel K. Wells married again in 1851 to a widow, Lovisa Oskins.
The family of my husband, Albert N. Rhoades, who is the great-grandson of
Margaret Byers Wells, told me that Daniel Wells and his first wife, Margaret
Byers had seven girls; and, that after she died he married a "widow Oskins" who
had seven boys by her first husband. There were no children from the second
marriage.

Notes for DANIEL KENNEDY
(KANADA) WELLS:Daniel K. Wells made bail bond for someone in 1873; see Index to Clerk's
Office Record, Warrick County, Indiana: 1873 - Entry #2133.
Daniel K. Wells had seven (7) daughters. When their mother, Margaret Byers
Wells died, he later married a widow, Lovisa Oskins (maiden name unknown) who
had (7) seven sons. (There were no children from their marriage.
Daniel K. Wells and Lovisa Oskins are buried at Twin Cemetery, Pigeon
Township, Warrick Co., In. I have a picture of their tombstones. (Virginia
Rhoades).
Spencer Co., IN records show a Lavinia Cooke marrying John M. Oskins on
Dec. 19, 1844 with consent given by Robert Oskins (his mark). Perhaps
this is the Lovisa/Lavicia/Lavinia Oskins that married Daniel K. Wells.
The information about there being the seven daughters and the seven sons are
from family knowledge from Clara Rhoads and Lorene Rhoads Scales, two of their
great-grandchildren.
The information about the spouses of two of the daughters, Solomon Stephens and
John A. Stephens (brothers) came from Louella J. Dyer, 13318 Blossomheath,
Dallas, TX 75240; (214) 239-2485 (1990).
The family also remembers that Daniel Kennedy Wells was called "the red-headed
Irishman". We have a very poor tintype picture of him. (Actually the Wells
family are of Welsh extraction).
The marriage of Daniel Wells and Margaret B. Byers is recorded in Book I, page
99, Spencer Co., Indiana. They were married by Robert Oskins, on Feb. 28,
1839.
The death of Daniel K. Wells on November 20, 1904, in Pigeon Township, Warrick
County, Indiana is recorded in Book H-20, page 73, Warrick County, Indiana,
aged 86.
Some researchers offer the middle name of Daniel Kennedy Wells as
"Kanada" rather than "Kennedy". The only thing that I can prove is"K".

"Laban M. Jones, M.D., was born in Spencer County, IN November 3, 1854, the
third son in a family of four children born to Dennis C. Jones and Tabitha
McCoy Jones, both natives of Indiana. Laban M. Jonesd received a good common
school education in youth, remaining at home and assisting on the farm until
his majority, when he entered the Evansville Commercial College, from which he
graduated with honor. He then read medicine eighteen months with Dr. Tarvis G.
Dailey, of Boonville, after which he took his preliminary course of lectures
at the Evansville Medical College, and after reading one year with his old
preceptor, entered the Pnysicians and Surgeons' School at Keokuk, Iowa, where
he graduated in 1880. After graduating he practiced his profession with
success one year in partnership with Dr. Allisoon Quiatt. He then purchased
property and located in Tennison, Warrick Co., Ind., where he was the FIRST
practicing physician. He was the FIRST Postmaster at Tennison, and in
partnership with his brother, George T. Jones, opened a grocery and dry goods
store for a time. In 1883 he was appointed depot and express agent, and
erecting a large building used it for a depot and also now (book written in
1885) uses it for his warehouse of farming implements and building material.
Dr. Jones was married May 29, 1879, to Miss Mary A. Byers, daughter of Uriah
and Elizabeth (Skelton) Byers, and this family of children were born to them:
Travis A. Jones, born April 1, 1880; Edwin E. Jones, born May 14, 1882; and
Cecil W. Jones, born May 26, 1884. He is a Republican, and he and wife belong

Notes for DANIEL BOONE RHOADS:
Daniel Boon(e) Rhoads was first married to Minerva McCool. Their marriage was March 27, 186 8 in Warrick County, Indiana. She was the daughter of John McCool and Mariah (maiden name un known). Her parents are buried in Baker Cemetery in Warrick County, Indiana. Minerva McCoo l was born on December 14, 1853 and was not quite 15 when she married. Their first child wa s Robert Eugene ("Bob") Rhoads who was born on March 3, 1869 in Warrick County, Indiana. Thei r second child was Minerva Jane Rhoads who was born on Jan 26, 1871 in Warrick County, Indian a. Minerva McCool Rhoads died February 3, 1871 just a few days after the little girl was bor n - she was buried near the graves of her mother and father at Baker Cemetery in Warrick Coun ty, Indiana. It states "17 years, 1 month and 16 days". The little girl, Minerva Jane Rhoad s lived about six months - June 25, 1871 and she is buried beside her mother at Baker Cemeter y. (Daniel Boone Rhoads's parents, Daniel Rhoads and Sally Hudspeth Rhoads are also buried a t Baker Cemetery.
After Minerva McCool Rhoads died in February 1871 (leaving an infant who lived 5 months and " Bob" who was almost two years old) the sister of Minerva McCool Rhoads took care of these chi ldren until the baby girl died in June at 5 months old and until Daniel Boone Rhoads marrie d Hannah Delilah Wells in August, 1871. Daniel Boone Rhoads's mother, Sally Hudspeth Rhoads h ad died the year before.
This sister of Minerva McCool Rhoads was "Aunt Pine Hausselmier". My husband
and his sister, Clara Rhoads, remembers their father speaking of "Aunt Pine"
and that the family visited...and that she was just as much their "Aunt" as if she were bloo d kin.
Daniel Boon Rhoads was guardian of #13, Thomas Albert Rhoads and possibly of
#14, Lillie Jane Rhoads (Condit). Their mother (Sally Hudspeth Rhoads)
died in 1870 when they were 8 and 11; and their father (Daniel Rhoads) died in 1873, when the y were 11 and 14. At the time of the father's death, Daniel Boone Rhoads was 29 and married t o his second wife, Hannah Delilah Wells.
The marriage of Daniel B. Rhoads and Hannah Delilah Wells is recorded in Book
4, Page 409, Warrick County, Indiana on August 31, 1871.
The death of Daniel B. Rhoads on Jan.11, 1903, Pigeon Township, Warrick Co.,
Indiana, is recorded in Book H-20 - 50, Warrick County, Indiana. I have an
original copy of his funeral card and it states: "D.B. Rhoads died Jan. 11,
1903, aged 58 years, 5 months, 19 days".
The mother of Daniel BOONE "D.B." Rhoads, Sarah Sally Hudspeth Rhoads, wass the daughter o f Thomas Hudspeth and Susanna BOONE. Susannah Boone was the cousin of Ratliff Boone. Ratlif f Boone was prominent in the development ofthe Boonville area. I saw a note by one researche r that Susanna was "the first cousin of Daniel Boone. This CANNOT be true because there woul d have been 57 years difference in their ages!. At April, 1995, I have not had time to resear ch the Susanna Boone line that were ancestors of this grandfather of
Albert Nicholas Rhoades.
