JOHN COWEN BYERS
JOHN COWEN BYERS was born and
raised near West Alexander, Washington County, Pennsylvania. After the completion of his education, he went
South, read law, and was admitted to the bar in the State of Arkansas: he
afterward came North and settled in the southern part of the State of Indiana,
where he continued the practice of law until the gold excitement in Colorado
drew him to that country, from which, after a year’s stay, he came across the
plains to California and settled in Stockton, in the month of September, 1861,
where he has ever since been and still is engaged in the practice of law.
