Notes for John Byers
Decendant, Virginia Gooder (mother Evelyn Byers Gooder) autosomal DNA test shows Byers ancestors lived in Devon & Cornwall, England. “Byers” spelling found in Devon, not Cornwall. Also shows Byers family were Early Connecticut and Northeast New York Settlers. Logical as this John Byers lived in Pennsylvania.

Roger Byers, descendant:

I found an obituary today that states my gg-grandfather, Isaac Byers (1819-1894), moved with his parents to Stark County, Ohio in 1825. “According to Isaac’s pension papers, he was born in Centre Co. Pa.

Centre County, Pennsylvania (Map It) was created on February 13, 1800, from parts of Lycoming County, Mifflin County, Huntingdon County and Northampton County.
