I have seen another post about Valentine Myers saying his father was Philip, so there is a possibility that this is the father of my Philip, but I guess there were several Philips in a few different generations, and they all tend to reuse the names. I know almost nothing about the early life of my ancestor. He was born in 1805 in Easton, Northampton Co., PA, married Ann Mack in the 1820s and then Margaret Brodt in early 1830s. They lived in Slocub Township, Luzerne Co., PA and were among the first settlers there. I know Philip was educated because he taught classes where he read the bible, and the Bibles were in German so he would have been from German ancestors. His children were named George Myers, Henry Myers, Maria Anne Myers, Reuben Jacob Myers, Elizabeth Myers, Caroline Myers, Margaret Myers, John Myers, Priscilla Myers, Norman Myers, William P. Myers, Lydia Myers, Christiana Myers, Ellen Myers and Rachel Myers. ! Do a lot of these names appear in your family? I don't have any census records of this ancestor. I'm sure there are some since he lived until 1884, but I don't have access to the census right now.
