Notes:

James Napoleon MYERS, my ggg grandfather, a minister of the Holly Springs Primitive Baptist Church, now called Little Cove Baptist Church in Sevier CO., TN was m. to Margaret Caroline LINDSEY in the Little Cove area of Sevier Co., TN. Though they migrated ca1860 to Cocke Co., TN they return 10 yrs later back to Sevier where James was found on his son Andrew Jackson "Big Andy" MYERS land, lying at the creek dead of an apparent heart attack though it's still unclear.

It's also unclear who his parents were though I hope to find out someday, it is believed he was an orphan with a brother and sister born in Maryville, TN and 1st cousin to the MOYERS/BLACKBURN/WILLOUGHBY families of Jefferson Co., TN.
(Comment: James David Moyers (1767-1838 & Mary Polly Blackburn 1768-1846
Daughter Susan 1796-1826 m Enoch Willoughby
Jame Napoleon b 1839.

James and Margaret had 11 children and though many moved around the country, there are still many ancestor's living still in the Sevier and surrounding counties of TN, to this day.

What once was an "unmarked grave" is now marked. Margaret Caroline LINDSEY is buried in the HURST CHAPEL CEMETERY in Sevier Co., TN where her 3rd husband Evan HURST is buried and was minister.

Does anyone know who Mathias Moyer is?
I found several land transactions involving him in "Land Deeds of Jefferson County, Tennessee 1792-1814." I'm researching the line including Christopher Moyers & Sarah McGowan who were married there 1 Feb 1822. Neither their children nor Chtopher's siblings show a Mathias. Am I missing something? Also, what do the double dates signify?

According to these records:

Andrew Henderson and William More, administrators of all and singular the goods and chattles rights and credits of Mathias Moyers, deceased; and Polly Gass, late Polly Moyers, Administratrix of said Estate; and Andrew Gass, who intermarried with Polly Moyers; and Henry Collins (Sevier Co.). $160.00 in hand paid by George Gregory to Mathias Moyers in his lifetime, and to me the said Henry Collins, the receipt whereof we severally acknowledged the said Mathias Moyers sold to George Gregory, and there in his lifetime on 19 Jul 1809 said Mathias Moyers made and executed to said Gregory his bond for title to said land, which bond was signed and sealed by Henry Collins and George Gregory, having had the said bond proven in the County Court of Jefferson and recorded as the law directs. Surveyed 15 Apr 1807. Wit: Jacob Crider; Joseph McGuire. /s/ A. Henderson; William Moore; Mary Gass; A. Gass; Henry Collins. March Session 1813.

The name Gass (John) showed up witnessing the will of Alexander Breckenridge in 1813. But that was in Bourbon Co, KY. His g-granddaughter m Harold Charles Moyer, the grandson of Christopher Moyers & Sarah McGowen.
There was a Catherine McGuire who m Andrew Blackburn whose sister Mary married James Moyers, father of Christopher Moyers.
With these common names, it seems that Mathias belongs to the same family of Moyers, but how???
