The earliest Boyer found is Joseph Boyer, b May 04,1794 in "Old Virginia". Have not been able to link him to a "Book of Boyers" family. His wife was Elizabeth 'Betsy' Ewin, married July 30, 1818 in Augusta Cnty, Va. Around 1837, the family (children Delilah Jane, James Morgan, Matilda Ann, Hezekiah Best, Elijah, Margaret, Joseph Washington, John N, and Benjamin Franklin-all born in Virginia) migrated to Illinois near Ashmore, and around 1857 on to Polk County, Missouri.

The earliest Lehman found is Hironmus Lehman, born circa 1812 likely near Bern, Switzerland, possibly Riggesberg. His son, Christian, immigrated with his wife to Sedalia, Missouri in the late 1800's.
