Birthabt 1873
Notes for Dolly Myers
I cannot find any match for Dolly in the 1880 census under the name Myers (or variant spellings), so it may have been a second marriage for her. Either that or she was recorded under a very different given name in 1880.
Her birthdate is estimated from the fact that William was only 19 at the time of their marriage, so it is unlikely that Dolly was much older than him, but there was no consent note attached for her like there was for him, so she was probably at least 17.

Rowan Co., Ky marriage license book 2, p. 142, and marriage register book A, p. 48, record the marriage on 3 July 1892 of William H. Swim, and Dolly Myers, consent attached from E. P. Swim for his son William, witnessed by H. P. Myers, bond surety by Elias Evans.
The Elias Evans who provided bond surety was probably William’s uncle, his mother’s brother.
