There are numerous documented Jacob Myers/Miers/Meyers/Moyer/Myres that entered he Colonies between 1750-1770. There are books full of them. Check Census Records and compare them to Bounty Land Records/Deeds/Wills. Check Ship lists. Check Service lists for the State Militia and the Continental Army during the Rev. War. The German Jacob Myers were strewn up and down the east coast and documentation is available. I have had contact with much of it while tryingto place our Jacob Myers. Because of the numerous Jacob Myers on ship lists during that period of time, I cannot discover which one is ours.
