Research Note

There is a Find A Grave memorial that shows him linked to Sarah (Nixon) Miers (abt.1784-abt.1855) however his surname is spelled differently. Also the dates are slightly different i.e. DOB 12 Apr 1782 and DOD 3 Apr 1855. I added an Other Last Name and filled in the DOB as per the memorial.^[3]
