Hi Becky, I looked on the 1870 Dallas,County census(Jasper Twp.) and only found a Benjamin Myers(age 30),a James H.Myers(age 25),and Mathas Myers(age1) listed. They are all born in Mo.**** In the 1870 LINN COUNTY,MO (Yellow Creek Twp.)census,there is a (1)Peter Myers,(age 64),born in Kentucky.Also (2)Marion Myers,(age 40),born in Tennessee,and (3)Sarah Myers,age 29,born in Mo.Also in household is(4)William Smith,(age 5),born Mo. and (5)Jacob Smith,(age 12).....a few doors away is a John Myers,(age 23),born Mo,with Sarah,(age 25),and Rebecca ,(age 3)...   I know the age doesn't fit,but he's the closest one I could find ........He may have had family in Dallas County,and died there........Rosemary
