Am interested in finding out info about a Joseph MEYERS/MYERS
family that included a daughter Jennie born abt. 1857. She
married George Emery HEATH on 19 Oct 1875 in Nuckolls county, NE. She was
the daughter of Joseph MYERS, Superior, Nuckolls county according to the
marriage certificate.
G. Emery was the son of Mathew HEATH and Emily EDWARDS HEATH, born IA.
Emery had brothers Eli HEATH and Matthew (Pick) HEATH. Pick later married
Emery's second wife, Flora Mae after his death in the late 1890's and they
lived in Frontier county. Flora
Mae is buried in the Farnam cemetery in an unmarked but located grave.
Jennie and G. Emery HEATH had three children: George (1876), Olive (1878)
and Joseph (late 1879 or early 1880, was 4 months at time of 1880 census).
They are listed on the Saline county, Wilbur precinct 1880 Federal census.
By June 29, 1884 they had divorced and on that date, Emery married Flora
Mae HASKINS.
Family lore has it that George and Joseph took part in the Spanish-American
War and their uncle Eli never heard of them again. Have not been able to
find that info in the War records but that is not to say it is not true. A
family member would very much like to find more information about this
HEATH
connection.
There is an Olive P. HEATH, age 22, born May 1878 Nebraska, in the 1900
OREGON census in Multnomah county, 6th precinct listed
as a nurse, servant, father unknown, mother born KS, living in another
household, that really fits the bill for the Olive of the 1880 census but
again have not been able to secure any further documentation of her.
Hoping that your HEATH or MYERS research and this
makes a connection. Was unsuccessful in e-mailing to
. Has this connection been removed from your
query list?
