Lanie, since you don't want to share contact info [PS - This memorial is 100% a way to contact me :-) and well within the FAG guidelines], I thought I'd use this method to "back up" my suggestion on the change of birth year. Following is what Carol Hayden wrote in his book on the Bylers:
Abraham Byler, the son of Jacob and Katherine Kish Byler and the father of the Bylers who settledf in Izard County, Arkansas was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania about 1769. Abraham left Pennsylvania as a young man and accompanied his father to North Carolina where he purchased an occupancy of 200 acres on the 4th of March 1789 in Burke County. Like the land his father and brother David bought, Abraham's land fell within the boundaries of Buncombe County in 1792.
In 1794 or '95, Abraham had moved to Washington County, North Carolina. Washington County comprised a large portion of present day Tennessee and, by the time Abrahma had settled on land on Rouse Creek and Laurel Fork, the land he owned was in the new state of Tennessee and the new county of Carter.
In 1799 Abraham was appointed as Sheriff of Carter County by Governor John Sevier. Through his office as Sheriff, Abraham became acquainted with many of the prominent men of the state and was to become engaged in land speculation with the Love brothers, Thomas and Robert, as well as several other families. By 1808, he had moved to land located in Bedford County, Tennessee. He had been appointed a justice of the peace for Williamson County, but, when the order was about to be signed by the governor, it was not Williamson County. The appointment was changed to read Bedford County and Abraham became one of the men responsible for the setting up of the Bedford County government. In 1811 he was on the Board of Trustees for the Shelbyville Academy, located in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
Between 1795 and '96, Abraham had married Nancy, who is thought to have been the daughter of John Love. Abraham and John Love were working together on several large land deals in the 1790's and, according to Carter County deed records, may have been partners in a mercantile business in Elizabethton. This John Love is thought to have been the same as Col. John Love of Virginia and North Carolina, a brother of Samuel Love, and uncle of Thomas and Robert Love. The prevalence of Love for a middle name in Abraham's children and grandchildren is additional indication of a Love family connection. (Srs: "Some Descendants of Jakob Beyeler" by Carroll Hayden).
Abraham served in the Washington County, North Carolina, militia in 1788 in a raid against the Indians. (Copied from email msg. from Edgar Byler, III).
Carroll Hayden was a very thorough researcher, as was Edgar Byler III. I feel sure Abraham was at least close to age 21 when he purchased land in 1789.
Source for year of birth: Purchase of 200 acres on the 4th of March 1789 in Burke County.
