    2. Deb, My name is Jean Parker Cooper. I am researching a MYERS family from LA. My gf was John MYERS. He md a Josephine Sharp fro, St. Tammany Parish, LA. John's father was JOHN MYERS and his mother was AURILLA PARKER. I have copies of the marriage license. I also have a copy of an old diary that belonged to my grandfather. It talks about a place called Boge Chitto, LA. I have been to the court house in Covington, and no one can tell me anything. I know from my ggrandfather forward but nothing back If you could give me some suggestions I would appreciate it.

Author: photo66666 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.myers/4563.1.3.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This Myers family connected to Alexander Spotswood are a bit predictable. They make poor farmers so if they are farmers, it's not for long. Full blooded Myers families will have professional carpenters and machinists all through the family. If the blood line goes somehow to Alexander Spotswood with a little Native American added, you might also have medical people, artists, photographers and actors. All of them will like boats. Many will live very near a major river. You will find them along the Lewis and Clark trail or in Texas and California. Many went with Major Robert E Lee to battle Santa Anna in Mexico in 1847. Some went later to the goldfields of California in 1849. In-laws tend to have the last names of known Lewis, Clark or Lee inlaws. This is all general and is only meant to be a guide. So a Clark Lee Myers living in Yuba City California born in 1854 married to a Sara Hunter is a very good example. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

    2. Hi Deb and thanks for the follow up. I continue to feel that there are some researchers out there who have not adjusted based on the good research of James Melton. For that reason some of the children still appear to be mixed up. I'll review all my files on Lewis and revisit my copies of the census. Two of the three or four Henrys had sons named Lewis that contributes to the confusion. One of the Lewis' did in fact live in Montgomery County KY and was the one married to a Catherine. Both Lewis and Catherine lived, died and are buried in Montgomery County. I still place a lot of trust in James' research. If I come up with anything the contrary I will let you know. Thanks.

    1. [Myers] Prime Example: MYERS, Lewis
    2. Here's a prime example of what I was attempting to discuss earlier: Lewis MYERS -- s/o Henry MYERS of "South of the Potomac" Virginia -- b. Abt. 1772 in what everyone believes to be Montgomery County, Kentucky. d. Abt. 1863 in Ripley County, Indiana. I found him in the 1850 census records, living in Brown Township, Ripley County, Indiana with second wife Susan (Rosemeyer/Rosemyer). And we all know census records are not gospel, but it stated that Lewis was indeed born in or about 1772, however, the census states he was born in Pennsylvania. And living with them is Samuel MYERS who is 14 years of age, born in Indiana. Susan or Susannah as she is found later, was 46 years of age, and born in Kentucky. Then in the 1860 census, again, living in Brown Township in Ripley County, Indiana, again we find LOUIS (not Lewis as it was previously written) MYERS, again, born about 1772, and again in Pennsylvania, not Kentucky as all others had told me. Living with Susannah who is 57 years of age born in Kentucky (still), and now Mary A. Myers, age 18, born in Indiana is living with them. For starters -- who is right? The census records who have him born in Pennsylvania, or other researchers who have him born in Montgomery County, Kentucky. And where was Mary A. Myers in the 1850 census, she would have been about 8 years of age then, shouldn't she have been in the 1850 census as well? And Samuel like disappears, and is not on any pages of that census (within a reasonable distance from his father) of 1860, because we would presume he married within that 10 year span, or he died. Could this be the "other" Lewis Myers who was born of a Henry Myers -- and if so, then where did Lewis Myers born of Henry Myers "South of the Potomac" go? Deb Inquiring minds..... The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional and how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation. --George Washington

My family ran riverboats up and down the Ohio out of Pittsburgh in the late 1700's to 1861. I have records they had to give up the boat business during the Civil War because the family is somehow related to Robert E Lee. Robert E Lee is a direct descendent of Gov Alexander Spotswood. I actually have 90 year old family members remember as children their 90 year old relatives remember that Major Robert E Lee visited the Myers/Lewis/Dunseith mansion in Pittsburgh in the late 1850's I am still trying to figure out the blood relationship but I believe it's through the Native American Village here in Pittsburgh.

    1. Re: [Myers] Benjamin franklin Myers (CSA) from Va.
    2. I'm, literally, grasping at straws here on my line. I understand that posting on the gateway is important, however, I'm sure that not a lot of the people are interested in what transpires between my inquiry and the final results. My Henry Myers line is a horrible mess. About the only thing we know about him is that he was a Revolutionary Soldier, not once, but twice, the first time he served for himself, the second time he served in stead for his brother. He was born "South of the Potomac" in Virginia. And died on the 20th of December, 1842 in Ripley County, Indiana. About a year ago there was a "family reunion" type of thing in Ripley County, however, I was unable to attend. I'm not sure if any clarification was done on this family during that time, as there's been no report posted to any of the known descendants of this Henry Myers. And I have been diligently keeping track of this message area for nearly 3 years now. We know some of his children because they were listed in his Revolutionary War Pension file. And I'm sure that not all of them were listed because of the deaths of some of his descendants before the filing of the pension. There is a gentleman that had done extensive research on this, noting that he had come from Virginia into Kentucky where some of his children were born, and it is believed that he was in Montgomery County, KY, however, the problem lies in the fact that there appears to be at least TWO Henry Myers in that area, with very similar years of birth, and also had similar naming patterns for their children, so a lot of people are getting those two particular Henry Myers confused. Unfortunately, the gentleman that did all this research and who contacted me more than a decade ago regarding my information has since passed away. And certainly because of the onslaught of genealogical interests these days, no one from the past thought to do better work at keeping records on these families, as I know we are all aware of, because I am sure that each and every one of us has run into that proverbial "brick wall" in doing research on their lines. We won't even mention the amount of court houses and records that were burned during the Civil War that hurts those that are doing genealogical research. And rather than start heading in the wrong direction, I'd rather have the correct information, because with over 22 thousand names in my database at this time, and a file that is over one giga byte in length, I'd hate to have to spend weeks deleting the wrong information, as I have had to do in the past. I've already had to add memory to my laptop in which I keep the genealogy information in, and now it's looking like I'm going to have to max out the memory capabilities in my laptop in order to keep up with the Joneses. So, I've come to the conclusion that MY Henry Myers is more or less something of a "John Doe or John Smith" where they are a dime a dozen. And it like putting a puzzle together where that piece looks like it would fit in, however, one teeny little item is keeping it from fully implanting itself into the picture as a whole. And there is nothing more that I would love, and that is to have that line traced back to the immigration of the family to America. I, personally, have worked on this line myself for about a quarter of a century only to keep getting the wrong information and having to go back and delete what I thought was correct. I've no problem discussing this on the board, but I just don't want any back-lash in posting something which may be irrelevant to the Myers line.

As for Spotswood, he kept members of my mother's side of the family indentured for over a decade in the Germanna Colonies.

The Myers family, I believe, is from France and they are >Boatmyers or Boat Experts. They make their own sea going >boats. They are experts in Carpentry and Iron Making in orger to >make these boats. > >I actually have some paperwork that my Myers family in Pittsburgh is >blood related to Gov Alexander Spotswood. My family ran riverboats >up and down the Ohio out of Pittsburgh in the late 1700's to >1861. I have records they had to give up the boat business during >the Civil War because the family is somehow related to Robert E >Lee. Robert E Lee is a direct descendent of Gov Alexander >Spotswood. I actually have 90 year old family members remember as >children their 90 year old relatives remember that Major Robert E >Lee visited the Myers/Lewis/Dunseith mansion in Pittsburgh in the late 1850's > >I am still trying to figure out the blood relationship but I believe >it's through the Native American Village here in >Pittsburgh.
