About generations of Myers and Peery
My name is Robert daniel david Myers descendant of Kenneth eugene Myers and Charlotte Ann Peery. I  was born in Jackson memorial hospital, Dade city, Florida. The hospital is now a sherrif department.  My mother Charlotte met my father Kenneth in Norfolk Va., while serving in the navy, USS Talbot  County (LST-1153),they married and settled in Evansville,In., Ken & Shaddy(nickname given on her  family side)moved around alot living thoughout many states ,ohio,kentucky,penn,west virigia,and fla.  but my father Kenneth would always return to Evansville,In., he grew up living on the banks of  Pigeon Creek where it empties into the Ohio River at Evansville, Indiana at the famous horseshoe  bend of the Ohio. He lived there with his father William Myers and Mother Vivian Golden Sutton and  several other childern. He and his brothers and sisters where placed into Hillcrest Children's Home  in Evandville,In.after there mother Vivian Passed away in dec 2 1955 . My father told me stories  about his 
 father had told him about how he drove a team of horses acoss the river into henderson Ky. during  the 1917 blizzard,and how he drove a boat up main street in evansville during the 1937 flood,  kenneth father william was a carpenter and a fisherman and owned a fish market at 416 olive street  in evansville ,In.He later settled into sweeter projects, evansville, in. 661 sweeter where he  became 
 ill with cancer and passed in june 17 1971.

My main goal is to try to find out about  intermarriages between myers and cherokee,  There are  about 730,000 people who identify themselves as Cherokees in the United States. I been told that  family members where cherokee and one point in time, but have no proof ! "He is half me and half  her,In a way, he is a definition of living in two worlds." In 1902 there were officially reported  28,016 persons of Cherokee blood, including all degrees of admixture, in the Cherokee Nation in the  Territory, but this includes several thousand individuals formerly repudiated by the tribal courts.

The only connection I could come up with intermarriages between myers and Cherokees is though the  old settles roll where it listed Tahlequah Carter, as of my g g grandfather greenberry myers   married 
 Martha Carter . 
 INTERACTION WITH OTHERS
 Because of the long history of intermarriage, and because of the nature of the division of land in  eastern Oklahoma, Cherokees have long been used to interacting with non-Cherokees. In fact,  Cherokees always seem to have been willing to accept outsiders into their ranks, some might say, too  willingly. Tahlequah, for example, appears to have a large white population, but much of that  population consists of old mixed-blood families, and many of them are officially tribal members.  There are also Indians from other tribes who have moved into Tahlequah: Creeks, Kiowas, Osages, and  even Navajos. Some of that is the result of intermarriage, some is not.  Cherokee, married people of European descent and so were “mixed bloods” even before 1800. This  early inter-marriage also means that a full blood ancestor would be several generations back for  people living today-thus debunking many full-blood grandma stories.

Greenberry as a given name seems to have been in honour of one Colonel Nicholas Greenberry (1627- 1697), Indian fighter, politician and Governor of the State of Maryland. Early 17th century.  Greenberry was a early settler in that state, having come over from England. so with this infomation  It's more easier to think that Greenberry was not a Cherokee name as I have been told my search  continues as to who my g,g,g, grandparents where! I know that Greenberry and his wife Martha Carter  may have the middle name starting with a or m that I've found though her children's cemetery records  where it list her middle name as a on one of her children's and m on another of her children's  records futher research I found out that Greenberry and martha had lived in Spencer co. ind. and may  have been married in 1876 there. on Martha cemetery record of which she and her husband Greenberry  and many of there children's,and many,many more Myers are buried including my father and his father  at locust hill cemetery located in Evansville ,Indiana. Martha father is listed as Wm. Myers on her  cemetery record

also I suggest that greenberry and martha where from Spencer Co., Ind is that there son Walter  Sylvester was born there  
 was born in Spencer Co., Ind  May 20 1879

Joseph William myers whom is the son of Greenberry Myers and Martha Carter, used William austin  myers birth cer. and switch identity he is buried in locust  hill cemetary under the name of William Austin myers ,when st.Marys hospital burnt in Evansville  back in 30's all of the records were lost.  he became to old to work being a poor man he still  needed to support his family ! when his wife vivian golden sutton became to sick and died in dec 55  he place his childern of 6 in orphanage hillcrest in evansville with his childern birth records  being lost in the fire the orphanage gave them new birth records . he out lived 4 of his 5 wives
