There are 2 FindAGrave records for George Myers and Mary Polly Horn in Licking Co., Ohio. There are pictures of gravestones in Patterson Cemetery in Johnstown for George Moyers and Mary Myers and there is are records without pictures of George Meyers and Mary Horn Meyers in Evans Cemetery in St Louisville. The records in both cemeteries appear to be the same individuals as the birth, death, and marriage dates entered are the same. Spelling of Myers/Moyers/Meyers is different. As there are no gravestone pictures of the graves in Evans Cemetery but there are additional Myers graves with pictures of two of George and Mary's children, there is more support for the Patterson graves being the accurate ones. In addition, Patterson Cemetery is closer to Burlington Twnp. where they lived. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/59620718/george-moyers https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/179303682/george-meyers https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/59618521/mary-myers https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/179303837/mary-meyers
