Moses Myers was born Aug. 9, 1828, in Wayne County, Ind. He was reared on his 
father's farm and received a limited education in the schools of his 
neighborhood. He remained at home till 1855 when he was married to Mary, a 
daughter of Randolph Ellenbarger. Of the six children born to them, three 
survive---Moses E., Isaiah E. and Jeremiah E. Soon after his marriage, Mr. 
Myers settled on the farm where he yet resides, then containing 160 acres, but 
at present containing 520 acres. He has in his possession the patent for the 
farm now occupied by Jacob Shideler, who has leased the farm for twenty-one 
years. The patent was issued in 1823 and signed by President James Monroe. His 
barn is one of the largest in the county. It is built of Vermont slate and 
cost $7,000. His house is a large three-story and basement brick structure, 
and was arranged with an eye to convenience and comfort. His father, Moses 
Myers, was a native of Maryland and came with his parents to Ohio when six 
years old, where he was married to Barbary Heiney, a native of Lancaster 
County, Pa., who died about 1834. They were the parents of six children, two 
of whom survive-Mary, wife of Adam Dashler, and our subject. Mr. Myers was 
again married, his second wife being Annie Kauffman, by whom he had three 
children, two still living.
