His Family is from Richmond VA and he knows Patrick Henry. His family has been in America for about 150 years before he built the Iron Works. Four groups of Myers are from this family. One group located in Boston, the other in Baltimore, one in Pittsburgh and then the Richmond VA group. They are very wealthy and are expert Silversmiths, Tinsmiths known as Whitesmiths and Blacksmiths. They also trade in whisky and tobacco. For more info you can Email me.
