The Mayflower arrived in 1621, so it sounds very English. If you know anything about the religous conflicts, trade, family or ship they arrived on you might find some good hints. I have another branch that arrived in the 1640's and insisted on not wearing a tie to church, which had been a huge conflict in England. They arrived in the Boston area but I believe Maryland was also a major port and point of entry for Virginia. Often an area of land was divided among the settlers and a small town was formed. Later passage was paid by someone in America and people arrived as indentured servants. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The Michael Myers/Miers/Miers family was from Germany/Switzerland. They travel from Ft. Germanna in Virginia to Rowan Co. and then migrated to Barren Co., Kentucky around 1789. The 30 year war had driven a number of people from Switzerland to Germany. After the War ended Queen Anne in England allow prospective pilgrim to stay for a few years, until their ship came. So even if the origination point was England, it still may have been originally German. The Irish also took in a number of the Germans following the war.

Author: photo66666 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.myers/4563.1.3.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi Actually there are many interesting things about this. First is the name Spotswood. Second is the name Temple. Temple is Benjamin Franklin's middle name. Third is the Owens family which have connections to the Owings family of Baltimore and to the Spotswood's of Culpeper. Last is the Lee name. This "Great Awakening" is very Delaware Native American if you read the history of the Delaware Indians. It's what I call a string of Super Coincidences that Genealogist hate but may give you insight on why people might be doing what their doing and named what they are being named. I don't look at it as Franklin Lee Myers born 1883 died 1925 period. I look at it as what is his or her location, what are they doing and who is around them. Then genealogy comes alive and the trail becomes much clearer. It's an old Indian thing about following a cold trail. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: dplac2 Surnames: Myers Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.myers/4563.1.3.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Take a look at this, A part of my family were born in Texas and the father was Jacob Finney Myers... I found interesting the Spotswood name that might of had Spotsworthy sometime before. Altho I doubt if this is my family, it's interesting. OWENS, CLAIRE MYERS (1896-1983). Claire Myers Owens [pseud. Claire Myers Spotswood], writer and lecturer, was born in Rockdale, Texas, on February 11, 1896, to Coren Lee and Susan (Allen) Myers. She grew up in nearby Temple, where her mother and maternal grandmother, Laura (Smith) Allen, taught her the values of a Southern Baptist. Her father was a free-thinking intellectual and believer in Jeffersonian democracy. In 1916 Claire graduated with a B.S. in domestic science from the College of Industrial Arts and left home to carve a professional place for herself. She was denounced and disinherited by her family. During the early years on her own, she did settlement-house and social work in Chicago and in an Alabama mining town and set up a utopian community founded on free love and communal living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. In the 1920s she moved to New York, where she worked at Dauber and Pine and other bookshops and wrote short stories, novels, and book reviews! (several for Publishers Weekly). After two brief unsuccessful marriages, she married H. Thurston Owens III in 1937, and they settled in New Haven, Connecticut. Though the couple never had any children, their union lasted until Owens's death in 1969. In her writings Claire Owens championed sexual freedom and financial independence for women. During the 1940s she wrote a column for Today's Woman magazine dealing with independence issues married women confront. In addition to her published work, several novels, short stories, and nonfiction manuscripts are among the holdings of the Owens Collection in the Blagg-Huey Library at Texas Woman's University. >From the age of ten Owens experienced altered states of consciousness. In 1949 she underwent a spiritual rebirth she called a "Great Awakening" that changed the focus of her life. Awakening To The Good: Psychological Or Religious? (1958) and Discovery of the Self (1963) describe the event and struggle to arrive at a scientific explanation for a spiritual state. As a result of her research, she became involved in the humanistic and transpersonal psychology movements of Abraham Maslow and Anthony Sutich, in addition to Aldous Huxley, who, over the years, came to respect her work and value her friendship. Carl G. Jung's writings shaped her quest. In 1954 she interviewed Jung in his home in Geneva. The article she wrote describing the interview was published in the New York Herald Tribune, Paris edition; it won a prize and was eventually anthologized in C. G. Jung Speaking. In her seventies she joined the Zen Buddhist movement and, with a group of Yale students, moved to Roches! t! er, New York, to study at the Zen Center under the tutelage of Roshi Philip Kapleau. During this period of her life, she contributed chapters to two anthologies on mystical experience: The Highest State of Consciousness, edited by John White (1972), and Transpersonal Psychologies, edited by Charles T. Tart (1975). On her eightieth birthday she began writing her last published book, Zen and the Lady (1979). Two lengthy manuscripts followed: Meditation and the Lady, her fourth autobiography, and Varieties of Self-Realization, an exploration of scientific and philosophical theories on enlightenment and self-realization. Claire Owens died on May 7, 1983. Her ashes are buried beneath a tree in the garden of the Zen Center.
