I found a Cora Myers living as a servant to a Henry Smith in Scipio, Ohio in the 1880 census. She is the right age and her and her mother's birthplaces all match the Cora Myers found living with Edward and Margaret Nixon in the 1870 census. There are actually quite a few girls in Ohio named Cora Myers, but none of the other ones really seem to match. This one is still a little odd, though, because I don't know why she'd be in Scipio, which is about 100 miles southwest of Monroe Co. I have other information, which I'll get to later, that says that she married in 1884 in West Virginia, which is kind of the opposite direction. So I'm not sure this is the right person, but its the best I can come up with so far.

About the Author
I am the grandson of Sarah and Eddy Martin. I have just started to get my feet wet in family history research and decided to keep my notes in a blog format.
While most of the information about people found here are already well-known within my family and on sites like familysearch.org, the original sources from which that information comes is not always clear. My goal here is to gather as many original sources as possible on ancestors that are already known. As I learn more about them, they become more than just names on an old piece of paper. Who knows, I may even stumble on a new find every now and then.
I hope this blog becomes useful to more than just myself. If you have information that is relevant here or to request information from me please contact me at joshua1ix (at) hotmail (dot) com

A note about the Scribd boxes
Scribd is a very cool site and the ipaper boxes are great for quickly looking at posted documents, but the resolution isn't the greatest. It's just barely good enough to be legible. If, however, you click on the "More" tab and download the file you get a much better copy.
