I don't think the PA Dutch were from only PA. Looks like it doesn't matter, which is what I was getting at, but I didn't know if it was true or not. PA Dutch happened to be pretty much all over the eastern seaboard according to this web site. It seems as though there were just concentrations of them in southern and central PA. Probably just populations of Germanic speaking people who knew each other before they emmigrated. Whether closely related or not my guess is that most PA Dutch with the surname Myers, Miers, Moyers etc are related in one way or another, its just a question of how close, or when and where they came to the US.

My family was one of those Myers families. Howard Smith Myers moved from Easton to Phillipsburg, NJ. Then he may have moved back as one of his sons was born in Easton and then he moved to Elizabeth, NJ where he passed in 1927.

My own ancestor was born in 1805 and both of his parents were born in PA, so I know there's at least one more generation born in America before him. Without either doing research in Pennsylvania in libraries and looking for historical documents or finding someone who has done so, I don't know how you can ever figure this out. Too many names, too many similar names and too little information about any of them.

MYERS researchers, I see a lot more MYERS researchers now on the net than a few years back, so I thought I would send out my same search. I don't have a thing on "my" Myers past except the census says "... born in PA.." and thats like saying her name is Jones! Her parents must have moved from PA to Indiana in the 1820's or 1830's. My ancestor Mary Celinda Myers (1824-Apr.30,1851), "appeared" in Franklin Co.,IN and married Benjamin Chance on Nov.14, 1843 in Franklin Co.,IN. I have checked all the records I could find, and it has nothing about her past. Mary and Benjamins marriage papers, have nothing of her parents or past. I've seen her last name spelt different ways and "Myers" is how it is on the marriage papers. Any cousins out there? Thank you. Tim Tim Mattingly gtm.3@insightbb.com

I would think that if you had the surname (we do) and if you have ancestors from the eastern portion of the US, most likely....PA Dutch. Now does this mean that they were living in German immigrant communities? I do not know. I know that at least my gg grandfather Howard and his parents probably were not, and if they were PA Dutch, they (or one of their ancestors) staked out on their own away from the immigrant communities (as far as I can tell).

I don't know what the extent of the PA Dutch area was/is geographically, but it does not mean that there weren't any in Northampton county. The big questions are when did our first generation Myers' parents emmigrate and were they related, or do our lines cross after emmigration? I think it would be useful to know how many different Myers lines were in PA during each decade, and where and when each one emmigrated in. Migration patterns although they might be difficult to track it makes establishing relationships easier.

Myers from Easton fought in the civil war. Here is a link to the archives page with his registration card. The age on it matches up with a Christian B. Myers in the 1860 Census. My gg grandfather Howard Smith Myers death certificate places him in this household by age and by mothers name. The death certificate does say his fathers name was Christopher Myers from Easton but I find no Christopher of the correct age in Easton during this time period in the Census. I am convinced the death certificate is unreliable in regard to Howards father's name and I am convinced that the Christian listed in the 1860 census in Easton is my Howard's father. Now as for that link.... http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/archive.asp?view=ArchiveItems&ArchiveID=17&FL=M&FID=1336378&LID=1336427 Heres my big problem. The Christian listed in the archive file was born in Greenville....all the way across the state, I am sure this is the same Christian that I am looking for and I suppose that his mother could have just been visiting someone when she gave birth to him (there were more Myers in Greenville I think). The Christian you list is born 4 years later than the one in the Census, but I suppose could be the correct one. I will have a look and see if Lancaster County is anywhere near Northampton.....Let me know if you find anything in your records. Thanks for the help. Dan

The only common names in the children of Philip J. Myers and yours are George and Christiana, which is a female version of Christian, and that is too little to really prove anything. However, both being from Easton is a good sign of connection. Since I know nothing else of Philip's father or other history, it's impossible to say at this time what the connection is, at least from my perspective. Do you know that your Christian fought in the war, or are you just guessing that the two are related? I would suggest that if the information doesn't jive, it's probably a coincidence. I have run into some seemingly unlikely coincidences in my research. There were a ton of Myers in Pennsylvania, so it might not be the same person. For the record, the children of Philip J. Myers are: George Mack Myers, Henry Myers, Maria Anne Myers, Reuben Jacob Myers, Elizabeth Myers, Caroline Myers, Margaret Myers, John Myers, Priscilla Myers, Norman Myers, William P. Myers, Lydia Myers, Christiana Myers, Ellen Myers and Rachel Myers.
