Kentucky. Jacob knows Patrick Henry and has received over 100,000 acres in land grants from him. Jacob also started a riverboat service between Limestone and Pittsburgh PA connecting Fort Pitt with the Iron Works around 1793. Records seem to how he also owns a blacksmith shop at Fort Pitt in Pittsburgh. I am from Pittsburgh. He sold part interest in the Iron Works to John Cockey Owings of Baltimore. I have simi-hard paperwork provided by the Myeras in laws who seem to be related to the Owings family in Baltimore that Jacob Myers is my ggggrandfather.
