Myer Myers, a silversmith, worked with Paul Revere through the Hays family of New York. Patrick Henry and Paul Revere were close friends. Gen Alexander Spotswood, Gov Alexander Spotswood Grandson also plays a role. It might be because the Spotswood's introduced Iron Making into North America or it might be through George Washington who had dealings with Myer Myers as a silversmith. Patrick Henry and George Washington are kin by Patrick Henry's second wife. The Myers family is for what ever reason in Gen Alexander Spotswood Will. The family seems to disappear around 1830. I think it's because of Native American Blood.
