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. There are a couple family trees that show the Michael Myers/Miers family. Do you know when your family immigrated and where?
