Notes:
Some trees online are showing his father as Henry Burton Moyers, b 1790 Hamburg, Germany. No sources. All seem to be idential, none offering any other info - likely copied from one another. Majority of trees do now show parents. 1880 Census (spelled Moyers) he states his father was born in Virginia; mother in Tennessee
1880 shows a William Moyers age 77 farmer born in VA
wife Sarah age 80 born in TN. These are more likely his parents. They had a daughter Luiza age 40 born in Tennessee. Says father and mother born in VA. Perhaps half sister but more like an error on census records. Looks like just copied same as entry for mother, i.e. Tennessee V.A. V.A.
1830 census has a William H. Moyers; ages right for he and his wife; has a son under 5. If same, Wm H. b 1825-1830, not 1821, and born in VA not in TN. Also, Sarah said in 1880 she was born in TN; but if that's Sarah in 1830, she was more likely born VA.
Transcription of the next page of census shows William H. age 60 and wife Louisa and children; but the image of the page is different.
Marriage records shows name spelled Meyers.
