Here are some results from the correct location - don't know if this is related. 

This B. Arthur Meyers appears to be the son of Robert C or C. Robert and possbly Margaret (listed as wife of CR in 1880, he is widowed in 1900), grandson of Jeanette.  Margaret may be Margaret Knorr from marriage record of Joseph M.

Thank you so much! Still working on piecing this together.. Margaret is new to me, unless Martha is a short for Margaret. I've only come across Martha.. May just be the mystery I was trying to unravel...

 

Thank you!
