From: "Cathy Simmons" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 01:39:19 -0000 To: [email protected] Subject: [MYERS-L] Myers/Pile/Pyle Hi, It's been a while since I sent anything out her and hopefully someone out there will have a connection. After researching on the internet I was able to meet a relative in my line and he emailed me this original letter.. If anyone has any information that can help I would greatly appreciate it! I will look forward to hearing from you. I recieved a letter from a Howard Myers Jr. who is a decendant of William Henry Myers son of James J. Myers. The letter was written to his father Howard Myers Sr. several years ago. LETTER AS IT WAS WRITTEN: Morgantown, WVa. 1, March 1980 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Myers, Enclosed you will find all of the information that you asked for. This is all that I have and I hope that it be what is needed. Found this on the MYERS Newsgroup regarding a Jacob MYERS - read on. ***** The Myers Family is a very old family in the U.S. and many of your ancestors fought in the Revolution of 1776. As far as I was able to find out Jacob Myers was with the George Washington Army that was destroyed at Fort Nessessity between Cumberland Maryland and Uniontown, Pa. in 1755. There is no record of him being killed or discharged so I suppose he deserted and settled in the region. In 1772 Springhill Township, Fayette, Pa. where our ancestors were there were living at that time Henry Myers, George Myers, and Ulrick\h Myers. Anyone of these or all could be your ancestor. The Henry Myers that I have record of lived in Preston Co., Va. now W.Va. on the Pa.-W.Va. line near Bruceton Mills where he was born and where I have never been able to find out neither have I found out where he was buried or died. He was twice married and the second marriage was the result of our ancestors. In the first sheet showing Henry Myers and wife Nancy, I have shown the children of the second marriage. The first wife was named ???? Daniels. I have no first name but to this union were several children possible as many as 12 or 14. Several of these children went west prior to and during the gold rush to the west. The enclosed will give you your family back as far as I can go and hope it will help. Signed by Charlie W. Myers **** Please email me if you have any information that could help me with my research!

Chrystie, You are amazing... the amount of research you are doing! My immigrant Myers is yet to be detemined. All I knew when first starting on this quest was of ggg Grandma Catharine MIRES was a German indentured servant on the LINDSEY farm, who married the son of her master. I have since found out she was born ca 1792-97, she married Moses LINDSEY by Primitive Baptist Jones Jones Jr. at Rush Creek Church in Washington Co. VA 1813, and she died sometime after 1860 Washington Co VA census. I at first she was the immigrant, but in my search and learning of the history of the German immigration to Virginia, believe that she was born in VA, (or less likely NC or PA). So her parents or grandparents may be the immigrants... PA Dutch... or VA Germanna settlements. In my search I have found this bit of information, which is but a speculation that may connect or may not.... Is this one of the Germanna settlements in VA? From Chalkey's Chronicles Vol 1, p 523. Check it out ...... Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County 1745-1800 by Lyman Chalkley ............. at bit about a Jacob STOVER who was awarded lots of land for the transportation of 100 (German?) persons to Virginia. if you haven't already.

Dated 15th December, 1733: In St. Mark's Parish, on West Side of the Great Mountains, and bounded: black walnuts and a hickory on Shenandoah River, two sycamores, to foot of a naked mountain at upper end of a large island, white oak, Spanish oak, three pines, a red oak, three locust trees.

Question for the Day; 1 - WHO DO YOU BELIEVE or HAVE PROVEN WAS YOUR IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR? 2 - WHAT YEAR AND PLACE THEY DID ARRIVE? 3 - WHERE DID THEY MIGRATE TO FROM THERE, OR WHERE YOU WOULD SPECULATE? I am told by Sevierville County Library; another researcher in the same are of TN; also by other various reseachers; and people connected to my lineage this - I am someday going to get down to TN to research the records myself and take it from there but til now below is my speculation. Self, Dau of Thomas Andrew MYERS b. in Hiawasse, Towns Co., GA Thomas, so fo Ollie Jake MYERS b. in Cades Cove, Blount Co., TN Ollie, son os Andrew Jackson "Little Andy MYERS b. in Elkmont; moved throu Treamont; later settled in old Holly Springs, now known as Little Cove, Sevier Co., TN. Andrew Jackson, son of Pleasant Andrew MYERS b. in Elkmont, Blount Co., TN Pleasant, son of James "Napoleon" N.J. MYERS & Margaret Caroline LINDSEY; they migrated around because he was a "Circuit Rider" for the Baptist Ministry; though I have speculative thoughts that he might have been part of the "Methodist" that used "Baptist" churches in the Cove areas of Blount, Cocke, Sumner, Greene and Sevier Co., TN. He is buried at Little Cove Baptist Church; land that he deeded; once known as Holly Springs Primitive Bapt. Church. James Napoleon, son of Suzannah MOYERS b. 1808; seen as Susan MYERS in 1840 & 1850 Jefferson Co., TN census records. It is speculation that James was the son of her divorced husband "Pastor Enoch(k) WILLOUGHBY" b. Abt 1797 Fanquier, VA; m. April 13, 1831 in Dandridge, Jefferson Co., TN; son of Benjamin WILLOUGHBY and Susan Wyatt both recorded as b. in Hampshire Co., VA ca 1760. Enoch had a brother names Elijah m. Susannah Leachman on October 29, 1787 in Fauquier Co., VA, her sister Mary Leachman m. Elijah and Enoch's brother, John "Sr." Willoughby w/children John, Winney and Elizabeth. This WILLOUGHBY family shows up in the Greene Co., TN area; living very near two Henry MYERS; two Christopher MYERS; an Abraham MYERS; several Jacob MYERS. I know that there are NO MYERS showing up in Sevier Co., TN census records till aft 1850-60. I've looked and relooked. The MYERS/MOYERS were not apart of Sevier CO., Tn till at least after these dates. I believe, like Bobbye and a few others out here taht there is a defineate connection to Henry, Jacob, Christopher and Abraham - I believe they might have been children, cousin and brothers to the infamous Hans Georg Jacob MAJER, seen spelled as MOYER in the 1717 2nd colony of Germmana, which went at one time was Madison and Culpeper County, VA. Orange County fits in here too somehow. There are also BLACKBURNS, like Reverand Gideon BLACKBURN who was directly related to Mary Polly BLACKBURN who m. James David MOYERS, later seen as MYERS. He was the son of Christopher MOYERS; and the parent to above Suzannah (Susan MYERS) MOYERS who m. Enoch WILLOUGHBY. I'm putting this out here in the event anyone has any new information that they can add to this. I'm told that Enoch WILLOUGHBY left Jefferson Co., TN early 1800's from the famous sermon and ended up in Montgomery Co., KY. I can say that there are alot of WILLOUGHBY'S in that area still to this day.

Our Surname - Variations and Meanings >From records found at the Westminster Library, Carroll County, Maryland *In no way do I necessarily agree with the below statements. MOYERS MYERS SURNAME VARIATIONS MEYER - German, from the Old High German MEIER meaning "Tenant Farmer" orone who oeversee's tenant farmers. MEIER - German, meaning a "Steward" or "Supervisor". MAYER - French, (Old French) meaning "Cutter or Sellerof Hoop Poles" (don't ask)... there are other variations of this spelling such as: MAYEUR meaning "MAYOR" or "Squire". I have seen this spelled also as MAHER(S) and MIER(S) as well as MEYER(S) but my research shows that the MAYER'S, orginally spelled as MAJOR and MAJER (European dialect dictates their nouns, verbs, etc.. differently then as described and/or spelled in English); One line of MAYER'S that I've studied extensively here in Maryland and PA have proved records dating back the 1400's from the old Imperial City of Ulm in Wurtemburg, German); this line was of actually blood lined to the Swedish and Swiss - German ancestry). MOYER - Irish, an anglicized form of the Irish name MAC AN MAOR meaning "son of the Steward" and very similar in orgin to the Scottish surname of MAC NAIR. *Again, I have found that MOYER has many different origins; from German spelled as above MAJER; later MAYER to MOYER once this line arrived in Germanna, VA - also I personally have seen the same lines spelled as MUIR, MOIUR etc. MYHRE - Norweigian, from the old Norse MYRR meaning "Dweller at the Swamp". (Probably where my line stems from ;) Often anglicized to MYER. (Oh great). MYERS (1) - English, meaning "from or at the time of the Mire" - shows up in America 1800 on. MYRES - * this is my observation - I believe that either the census takers wrote MYERS MIRES and MEYERS as it sounded ca1840 on in the southern areas of the US; and could be a variation of surnames previously mentioned in above sentence. MYERS (2) - Hebrew from MEIR and MEOR meaing "Light or Luminary" and I agree totally with this. Alot of MYERS have Jewish ancestry - I know that some, fearing scrutiny wished to remain "un-orthodoxed" to their heritage. Sad. MIRE - English again stemming from "Old French" meaning "Doctor".
