John Cockey has lots of records of the Iron Works because it produced lots of Cannon Balls for the war of 1812. He also has lots of records showing Jacob Myers and his son helped him get those contracts. It shows Jacob Myers belonging to the Richmond Va Myers family. Jacob Myers jr starts to sell all that land Patrick Henry got his father for 2000 pounds of tobacco per 400 acre farm. The Tobacco was shipped to Baltimore and then on to Richmond were the Richmond Myers family processed it and sold to the Public. Yes I know about Jacob Myers war service and most of that service was done at Fort Pitt in Pittsburgh.
