Myers is a native of Campbell County, Tenn., born April 30, 1837, and is the son of Isaac and Margaret (Lindsay) Myers. The father was born in Grainger County, Tenn., in 1801, and is the son of John Myers a native of Virginia. The father removed to Campbell County when about twenty-two years of age, where he began farming, and has continued up to the present, and now lives in the Fifth Civil District. The mother was born in Carter County, Tenn., and is the daughter of William Lindsay and a sister to Jonathan Lindsay of Campbell County. She is a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. Our subject was reared on the farm of his parents, and attended school at Big Creek and Fincastle. He worked on the farm until the breaking out of the late war. In 1862, fired by patriotism and loyalty, he organized a company of soldiers, of which he was elected captain, and, March 10, 1862, he enlisted in the Federal Army. His company was assigned a position as Company F, in the Sixth Regiment of Federal Tennessee Infantry. He served throughout the war, and was in the battles of Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Strawberry Plains, Resaca, Lookout Mountain, Pumpkin Vine, Stone River, and was in thirty-three heavy engagements in the Georgia campaign, during part of which time he commanded a regiment, and distinguished himself for ability and bravery. He was but slightly wounded, and never captured, meeting with almost phenomenal success. From the Georgia campaign he returned with his command to Tennessee, and on December 15 and 16, 1864, was in the battle of Nashville. From that place he went to Washington, and at Alexandria, Va., embarked on the iron clad "Matansus," and conveyed to Wilmington, N. C., the trip occupying four days and nights. He was in the successful engagement at that place, and was then sent back to Nashville, where, March 24, 1865, he was mustered out and honorably discharged from the service. He returned to farm in Campbell County after the war, and in 1867 was elected revenue collector for Campbell County, with no opposition, and was re-elected in 1869, this time against opposition, which he overcame by a majority of twelve to one. Retiring from the office in 1871, he resumed his farming, and has since followed agricultural pursuits. He is Post Commander of Meador Post, No. 19, G. A. R., of Fincastle, and always attends the district encampments. He was married November 22, 1867, to Nannie E. Cross who was born in Anderson County, Tenn., in about 1849, and was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Cross both deceased. To this union seven children were born, five of whom are living. The wife was a Christian and worthy lady, a devoted wife and fond mother, and died June 16, 1883, being a member of the Missionary Baptist Church at the time of her death. In 1885 he married Ollie Irwin who was born in Campbell County in about 1858, and was the daughter of James P. Irwin of Campbell County. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and died March 10, 1886. Our subject is a member of the Missionary Baptist Church.
