Richard,
I am the grandson of Clara Estelle Myers McWilliams.My grandfather was Robert Oscar McWilliams.Clara's mother was apparently Polly Ann Nighbert although she always called her Mary Ann.Clara's father was Jacob Hensley Myers.Joseph W. Nighbert was b-1825, d-1865.Mary Ann(Polly) Nighbert was b-1850 and d-1900.Jacob Hensley Myers was b-1849 and d-1904.I am sure Mary Ann and Polly Nighbert are one and the same.The dates that were passed on to me by Grandma Clara and later received from her cousin, C.O. England(son of her sister Florence Etta Myers )are the same.I have saw some info on various sites showing Polly's sister Jane as being married to a Myers and some as being married to Jacob H. Myers.She was not married to Jacob.Jacob supposedly had a brother named Henry that may have married into the family but I don't know for sure.I would be most happy to send you whatever information you wish and I would be most happy to receive any information which I don't have or I might show that is incorrect.If you wish you may contact me directly at [email protected].
