From: Mary Dains
14 Apr 2000:
Zephania Eyre was the son of Samuel Eyre (son of John and Catherine) and Della Johnson Eyre. He was born in 1844 in Alton Madison Co. IL. This information came from the family Bible that
Christina Eyre Babcock had in her possession. She sent this information to my John Eyre. And if I am not mistaken he sent it to your R. S. Eyre. According to that same source they had a
child named Rozella Eyre living with the family also. This child was born 14 OCT, 1972
I finally got the marriage record for Sam and Catherine Eyre, however it came through IRA and they didn't have the license or any details. I have to write to the county which I have not
done as yet. But on the record of the license her name is spelled Della and not Delila

E-Mail from VSTAR14@aol.com (Marti Harrington) 10/10/99 Illinois Eyres:
Judy
I dug out one of the "famous" letters and here goes, see what you think! Letter is from John EYRE of Coulterville, IL dated 7/13/1886 (spelling is poor and therefore some is hard to figure
out)
John talks about the Bible Record of his grandma and grandfather (this would be John EYRE and Catharine CRUMLEY) there is a listing for John EYRE born 2/12/1828 which would be the son of
Samuel and the writer of the letter).
There is a listing for the birth of Robert W EYRE b.10/17/1822 ??? Could this be the Robert EYRE who married Catharine A RODGERS as shown on the Illinois listing for marriages??? This
marriage was in 1841 which would have made Robert 19 yrs. old which seems about right.
The letter has a listing for a birth of Hannah EYRE born 7/17/1824 and there is a marriage listing in the Illinois index for a Hannah EYRE and a Matthew FOWLER in 1847; again the age seems
about right.
The letter has a birth of Catherine EYRE 12/9/1831 and the Illinois index has a Catharine EYRE marrying a Champ C MILLER in 1855 - which puts her at 16 - not unheard of back then.
Now, I have quite a few letters from the "MILLERS" and I have yet to figure out how they are related but if I get the chance today, I will certainly check it out and let you know.
But look over the above and let me know what you think.
