I received a copy of the marriage of Benjamin MYERS to Milly HAYES where Benjamin and James HAYES posted $500.00 for the marriage. An attachment to the document stated: "Benjamin Myers son of John Myers and Peggy McQueen a native of Attakapas with Milly Hayes legitimate daughter of James Hayes and Mary Johnson a native of Opelousas."

Benjamin MYERS (aka Mayer/Mayers-Hebert's SWLR) b 30 Sept 1805 LA is deceased 1847 Jefferson County had seven minor heirs. The minor children were: Matilda (Mathilda Mayer-Hebert's SWLR), Jediah, Benjamin (Benjamin Mayer-Hebert's SWLR), Elisa, Milly Ann, Lewis & Melissa Ann MYERS. The other children were not listed in Hebert's SWLR.
Jacob H GARNER applied for guardianship in 1847 at Beaumont, Jefferson County for the seven minor children of Benjamin MYERS. In later years Francois GALLIER & William E HATTEN would be appointed guardian's of the various children.
Each minor child had their own livestock brand that resembled an "S" or a backward "Z" starting with "1" through "7".
Livestock was gathered to be sold at the home of Leonard HAYS on Taylor's Bayou with Sevenne BROUSSARD & Emille BROUSSARD involved.
Benjamin MYERS and family may have lived at Sabine Pass or Taylor's Bayou or Cow Bayou (Orange County) when the family came to TX.
Matilda MYERS m Benjamin JOHNSON (widower) 4 Jul 1861 Jefferson Co., TX. Benjamin JOHNSON previously married to Rachel GARNER. Was she the sister of Jacob H GARNER?
Matilda (Myers) JOHNSON'S estate of 7 Feb 1896 Jefferson County listed my grandfather O. A. MORGAN a temporary administrator, possibly the last surviving child of Benjamin MYERS.
Melissa Ann MYERS m James CHAMBERS from AL 31 Dec 1863 Jefferson Co., TX. The Chambers family were residing in Victoria County in 1870 with two daughter's and my grandfather, Almon or Alvin MORGAN age 12 TX. It's possible the surname CHAMBERS became CHAMBLESS at Sabine Pass in 1880.
Would appreciate data/info from anyone researching these names.
