Looking for information and records on the parents of JAMES CONYERS, born 1782 (1787) (NC or Va.), died 1855 in Henry County, Tenn. Married ELIZABETH CONYERS (mnuk), b. 1781 in NC. Children of JAMES and ELIZABETH included DAVID HARPER CONYERS (1808-1855), WILLIAM J. CONYERS (1810-), JAMES H. CONYERS (1813-), TALITHA CUMI CONYERS (1815-1855) (m. JAMES GRIFFIN), TABITHA NAOMI CONYERS (1820-), LAVITHA EMILY CONYERS (1821-) (m. GILBERT HARDING; m. JAMES W. AYCOCK), JOHN CONYERS (1823-) MORDECAI FRANKLIN CONYERS (1827-), BENJAMIN L. CONYERS (1828-) and ZACHARIAH MORRAL CONYERS (1830-). JAMES is believed to be a son of DAVID CONYERS (born ca 1755-1760 in Virginia). David's first wife is unknown. The following are believed to be children of David and his first wife: WILLIAM CONYERS (1780-184?), MORDECAI CONYERS (1781-1858), JAMES (1787-1855), MARY ("Polly") CONYERS (ca 1794-) (m. JOHN COLEMAN in 1810) and NANCY CONYERS (13 Sep. 1796-8 May, 1862) (m. JOHN FANCHER 24 Dec 1812).
David married 2nd NANCY SATTERFIELD (who may have been a widow) in 1811 in Barren Co., Ky. (no known ch by second marriage). David settled in Kentucky probably in early 1780's. He is listed on the 1787 and 1790 Fayette Co., Ky. tax lists; the 1800 Barren Co. tax list and appears on the 1810 US Census of Barren Co. His sons MORDECAI and WILLIAM moved to Henry Co., Tn. sometime in the 1830's. Some of his grandchildren later settled in Arkansas. Large numbers of his descendants are concentrated today in Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Idaho and others scattered all over the nation.

I am trying to learn more about my father's family. He was GILBERT M. ("Buddy") CONYERS Sr., born in NC, the son of JESSE CONYERS. He died in 1956 soon after a serious auto accident in Conroe, TX., in which two brothers, one named HAROLD CONYERS. Buddy died of a gunshot soon after the auto wreck. He left a wife, FAYE, and two ch, GARY CONYERSand MARSHA CONYERS, with another child on the way, GILBERT M. ("Buddy") CONYERS Jr. This was my mother's 2nd marriage and possibly my father's second. I nor my sister nor brother have had any contact with my father's family since his death. Apparently, this was not a marriage that was approved of by Gilbert's family. Any help on the family of JESSE and his ancestors would be appreciated.

MARY CONYERS, daughter of THOMAS A. CONYERS in Ireland married ZACHARY MYLES ca 1790. I believe that the first Conyers in Ireland was GEORGE CONYERS ca 1691. The family was seated in Castletown-Conyers in County Limerick I would be very pleased to receive any information you might have that would tie my family back to Roger Coniers that came to England with William in 1066. Thank you,

My name is Marie Loretta Conyers-Bailey. I am tracing my ancestry, and happened upon the Conyers Family Association. I know little about my ancesters, but I have traced back to my great-grandparents. BENJAMIN CONYERS mar NANNIE CONNER. I don't have any documentation about where Benjamin was born (Nannie was from Metropolis Illinois?) but I have heard Henry or Weakly County, Tn. Nannie and Ben had 10 ch. I have Nannie's family bible and some of the print is aged and hard to read. Their ch were: ROLLIE CONYERS, CHARLES CONYERS, LILLIE MAY CONYERS, JAMES HUBERT CONYERS, MYRTLE VIOLET CONYERS, RAYMOND CONYERS, VIRNIE LOUIRA CONYERS, ROBERT JEWELL CONYERS and GEORGE CONYERS. George is my grandfather. He married JOSIE MOONEY had 4 ch: LORETTA CONYERS, FRANCIS CONYERS and LLOYD CONYERS; one died as an infant. Lloyd is my father. At some point, the family settled in Arkansas. My father was born there in Clay Co. I would love to hear from you and I am in contact with other Conyers cousins around the USA! Thanks for any info you may have and I hope to join the Association!

I wonder if you can help me. I am South African by birth. My mother, HEATHER CONYERS BADENHORST (nee Conyers) was born in South Africa from an unknown South African mother and an English father, LEONARD FRANCIS CONYERS (b 26 Oct 1902, Bradford, Yorkshire, England), son of FRANCIS LEONARD CONYERS, a joiner, and CHARLOTTE FRETWELL. They resided at 58 Hanover Square, Bradford in England. I am very interested in tracing the family line past my great-grandfather, Francis Leonard, and would be grateful if anyone could help me. Thank you,
