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.
