I believe that this may be the parents of the ancestor you inquired about. Elizabeth Dunbar m. Hiram Myers. Read on. I can send you the entire article.
Mr. George Dunbar was a man of fine intellectual gifts and mature judgment and was well fitted for leadership in thought and action.His opinions were always well fortified and he never lacked the courage to defend them, though he was always tolerant and charitable in his judgment of others and his sympathy for those in affliction was instant and helpful.In politics he gave his allegiance to the Democratic party and was an active worker in its local ranks, while his religious faith was that of the Presbyterian church.No children were born of his second marriage, and of those of the first union we enter the following brief data:John, who was a talented portrait painter, died in Canton in 1877, and his grandchildren, Paul and Ella Rider, are now the only descendants of the family living in Canton;George died in 1851;William was a representative member of the bar of Mr. Vernon, Ohio;Allison was for a number of years sheriff of Stark county;Horace was a successful and prominent lawyer of the county;Mary became the wife of Eli Sowers;Elizabeth married Hiram Myers;Margaret was the wife of Doctor Sala;and Matilda died unmarried, all of the children being now deceased.
