No his sons did not spell the surname differently. In the 1700s people did not have paper identification that they carried around with them, the way we do today.

In olden times many people could not read & write. So it was the record keepers who wrote the name the way it sounded to their ear, or they spelled it like other surnames they already knew about ... sometimes this resulted in a surname spelling error.

Byers-1966 and Byers-577 appear to represent the same person because: Possible match
everything you have posted for John is correct except for his wife's name. It has always been to my knowledge, that fnu and lnu meant (first name unknown) and ( last name unknown). Just short form for those writing the record.
