Notes for Elizabeth Myers
Elizabeth Myers who married John Evans and Barbary Ann Myers who married William Jones were probably sisters (the two families were on neighboring farms in 1860.) Her place of birth is listed as Montgomery Co. on the birth record for the twins Eli and Elias, and as Morgan Co. on the birth record for Jeff Davis.

A good possibility for their parents are Joseph Myers and Rachel Alfrey. They were the parents of Samuel Myers who married Emily Cassity, and that Samuel was also living very near the John Evans and William Jones families. (I should check Morgan County deed and estate records for prior ownership of these lots. One possibility is that a large farm was split among the surviving children.)
