page 264:
John R. Conyers, son of Samuel and the father of our subject, was born in 1814, married, in Ohio, Mary L., daughter of Nicholas Bennett, of Warren county, Ohio. Mr. Conyers was a carriage maker by trade and worked in Warren and Butler counties, Ohio, in his younger days. In 1846 he came to Indiana and settled in Brookville, Franklin county, and afterward moved to Mount Carmel. In 1859 he came to Boone county and settled near Mechanicsburg, where he bought land and thriftily increased it until he now owns a farm of 167 acres. To Mr. and Mrs. Conyers were born seven children, who lived to grow to man and womanhood — Catherine, Emily E., John M., William H., Charles E., Luella B. and Ora A.
Mr. Conyers was a strict republican, a patriot, and intensely loyal to the Union, and three of his sons served as soldiers to put down the rebellion — viz : John M. ; William H. was a private in company H, Eleventh regiment, Indiana volunteer cavalry or One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Indiana volunteer infantry, as it was first an infantry regiment and afterward mounted. He served from December, 1863, to July 25th, 1865. Among his battles were Nashville and Franklin, Tenn. Charles E. was a private in company E, Eleventh regiment Indiana volunteer infantry, and served from February 17th, 1865, until mustered out July 26th, 1865. Mr. Conyers, the father of these soldiers, is a man of liberal views and a Universalist. Fraternally he is a Mason and member of the Magnolia lodge at Lebanon. He has now reached the venerable age of eighty years and is well preserved. He earned most of his property at the trade of carriage making, in which he was a very industrious and successful workman. Some of the carriages and wagons, made by him at an early day, are still in use. His farm is located in Clinton township and is well improved. He is well known for his probity of character.
