I don't know anything about the Myers family but there is a Christopher Myers listed in 1830 on the Cumberland, KY census. Myers, Christopher State: Kentucky Year: 1830 County: Cumberland Roll: M19_35 Township: Unknown Townships Page: 118. Chrisopher Myers- one male 0-5, one male 15-20, one male 50-60 one female 0-5, one female 5-10, one female 10-15 and one female 40-50. And your welcome on the 1820 census info. I hope this helps and doesnt add more confusion.

I didn't see anyone with a connection to the Bourbon Furnace Jacob Myers. > > Does anyone know anything about the Jacob Myers that started the Bourbon Furnace? I did find the article in the archives about him, and I found a book at the library from which that info was taken. I also found some letters in the Bath list archives about another Jacob Myers with son Lewis who looked too young to be the Bourbon Furnace Jacob. > > Wells says in THE HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY that the Bourbon Furnace Jacob "drifted" into Cumberland Co. about 1800. I find it hard to believe that the two are the same since Cumberland Co. Jacob died without a will (between 1810 - 1820) and only owned a small farm. One would think since Bourbon Furnace Jacob sold 3/4 of the furnace in 1791 "for the sum of 1, 426 pounds and 8 shillings and 6 pence, current money of Virginia," he would have had a will. > > However, Cumberland Co. Jacob Myers did have a son Christopher who for some reason isn't in Cumberland Co. 1820 census (he's back in the 1830). The only Christopher listed in the KY Index for 1820 was Christopher Myers in Bath Co. > Perhaps this is an indication that Cumberland Co. Jacob did have connections to Bath Co. > > Does anyone know anything about the Christopher Myers listed in the 1820 Bath Co. Census with 3 males 0-10? Christopher and his wife were between 26-45.
