Overview
Records for land owned by Andrew Myers (abt.1766-1830) in Licking County, Ohio, United States of America. His first deed in Bowling Green township says he is "of Licking County", so there may be earlier land records for him in Licking County that haven't been found. Or he could have moved there before owning land in the county. Licking County was formed from Fairfield County in 1808, so earlier records may be in Fairfield County.
He bought land in Bowling Green in 1814 then sold it in 1816. The deeds where he sells the land list his wife as Susanna, which makes it more likely that these records actually belong to Andrew Myers. More research is needed on the remaining deeds listed below, but it looks like after selling land in Bowling Green Twp, he may have moved to Hopewell Twp next and then Franklin Twp. He is supposed to have died in the 1830's, so only the deed indices for 1808-1848 have been searched so far.
A few of the records were listed as Andrew Myers Sr or Jr, but not all - some of these records likely belong to his son Andrew Myers Jr. Census searches show that there was only one head of household named Andrew Myers in Licking County in 1820 (in Hopewell Twp), and in 1830, there were only two - a Sr and a Jr both living in Franklin Township, so it is likely that all of these deeds belong to Andrew or his son, but it's always possible there were other Andrew Myers floating around Licking County.
Records from Bowling Green Township
The earliest land records for Andrew Myers in Licking County are an 1814 purchase of 170 acres in Sec. 26. He sold this land two years later, in 1816.[1]
