NC census with one male under 16 and three females, and in 1800 with one male 16-26, one male 10-16, one female 16-26 and three females under 10. His wife was Rhoda Benet or Bennett. A <A HREF="http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Davidson/1425">query</A> on the Davidson County GenConnect Board by Lynn G. Ester states that Samuel and Rhoda are buried at Abbotts Creek Primitive Baptist Church, and that Samuel's tombstone indicates that he was born in New Jersey.

He is not in Samuel's household in 1900 but does appear in the 1910 census records as "adopted." Doug Styers, who is a great-nephew of Dink Styers recently e-mailed me the following information: By Dink's own words, he was a Styers. He was left on my great-great grandmother's door step in a brown wicker basket, wrapped up in a small blanket. Samual and Sarah Styers raised him as their own and every time Dink was asked was he a Styers he would say yes. He would also say - you know why? "If a Styers was good enough to raise me then it is good enough for me and yes, I am a Styers." It remained that way all through his life and to his death. Samuel and Sarah Styers left him with such a conviction of who he was. Yes, I was and still am very proud to call him my Great Uncle Dink. -- Doug Styers<P> ------------<P> Children of Samuel Edward Styers and Salome Elmira Kapp<BR> Luther Samuel Styers (1889-1975) m.
