Seeking information on my ancestral Myers family from Washington County Maryland. I have John and Mary which are very common Myers names. They resided at some point at Antietam Furnace. I suspect that John descends from Michael Myers of Sharpsburg but so far have been unable to prove this connection. This is a work in process. Additions or corrections would be greatly appreciated.
