children of Harris Wood Miers (all born Dallas Co.):
Catherine Elizabeth Wood Miers 16 Nov 1932 (Erma Grace Richardson)
Harris Wood Miers Jr. 5 Oct 1939 (Erma Grace Richardson)
Robert Lee Miers 23 Feb 1943 (Erma Grace Richardson)
Harriett Ellan Miers 10 Aug 1945 (Sallie Dale Richardson)
Jeb Stewart Miers 5 Mar 1951 (Sally Grace Richardson)
There are three different names given for the mother:
Erma Grace Richardson (3 times), Sallie Dale Richardson (once),
and Sally Grace Richardson (once). Discounting the Sallie-Sally
spelling difference, the first name is either Erma or Sally and
the middle name either Grace or Dale. An appeal to the possibility
of two different wives of Harris W. Miers is misguided, given two
facts: (1) the mother of Harris Wood Miers, Jr., is called Erma Grace
Richardson in the TX birth index and Sally Grace Richardson in
Who's Who in America (1984-5, p. 2259); and (2),
more importantly, in an 1991 story in the Dallas Morning News
(repeated 5 Oct 2005), the following appears concerning Ms. Miers'
family: "Harris and Sally Miers had five children spread over some
20 years. Harriet Ellan was their fourth..."
(

First name(s) Place Parents Erma Dallas, Dallas Co., TX Frank M. & Erma Erma V. Davis, Shenandoah Co., VA William Y. & Bessie J. Irma F. Marlborough, Cheshire Co., NH Hubert J. & Nettie E. Irma I. Spring Green, Sauk Co., WI Austin L. & ___As mentioned above, while there were a great many Sarah/Sally/Sallie Richardsons of the right age (too many to easily include here), none were living in TX. Indeed, there was only one Erma/Irma/Emma Richardson of the right age living in TX; the rest are included merely because there were few enough that an exhaustive list is feasible. Given that singularity, and the additional fact that she was living in the same county as the man she would marry sometime within the next year and a half, it seems a fairly safe assumption that Erma Richardson of Dallas was the future Mrs. Sally Miers.
